Please Read This Before Installing Or Operating 

Pump. This information is provided for 

SAFETY

 and 

to 

PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.

 To help 

recognize this information, observe the following 

symbols:

IMPORTANT!

 Warns about hazards that can 

result in personal injury or Indicates factors 

concerned with assembly, installation, 

operation, or maintenance which could result 

in damage to the machine or equipment if 

ignored.

CAUTION!

 Warns about hazards that 

can or will 

cause minor

 personal injury or property damage if 

ignored. Used with symbols below.

WARNING!

  Warns about hazards that can or 

will cause serious personal injury, death, or major 

property damage if ignored. Used with symbols 

below.

 

Only  qualified  personnel  should  install,  operate  and 

repair pump. Any wiring of pumps should be performed 

by a qualified electrician.

WARNING !

 To reduce risk of electrical 

shock, pumps and control panels must 

be properly grounded in accordance with 

the National Electric Code (NEC) or the 

Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and all 

applicable state, province, local codes 

and ordinances. Improper grounding voids 

warranty. Prior to energizing the pump, a 

verification of the pump ground circuit should 

be made between the pump case and panel 

ground.

WARNING!

 To reduce risk of electrical 

shock, always disconnect the pump from the power 

source before handling or 

servicing. Lock out power and tag. 

WARNING!

 Operation against 

a closed discharge valve will cause premature 

bearing and seal failure on any pump, and on 

end suction and self priming pump the heat build 

may cause the generation of steam with resulting 

dangerous pressures. It is recommended that a high 

case temperature switch or pressure relief valve be 

installed on the pump body.

CAUTION !

 Never operate a pump with a 

plug-in  type power cord without a ground 

fault  circuit interrupter.

 

CAUTION !

 Pumps build up heat 

and pressure during operation-

allow time for pumps to cool 

before handling or servicing.

WARNING !

 Do not pump hazardous 

materials (flammable, caustic, etc.) unless 

the pump is specifically designed and 

designated to handle them.

CAUTION !

 

Do not

 block or restrict 

discharge hose, as discharge hose may 

whip under pressure.

WARNING !

 Do not wear loose clothing 

that may  become entangled in moving 

parts.

  

WARNING !

 Keep clear of suction and 

discharge openings. 

DO NOT 

insert fingers 

in pump with power connected.  

Always wear eye protection when working 

on pumps. 

Make sure lifting handles are securely 

fastened each  time before lifting. 

DO NOT

 

operate pump without safety devices in 

place. Always replace safety devices that  

have been removed during service or repair. 

Secure the pump in its operating position so 

it can not tip over, fall  or slide.

DO NOT

 exceed manufacturers 

recommendation for maximum 

performance, as this could cause the motor  

to overheat.

DO NOT

 remove cord and strain relief. 

DO NOT

 connect conduit to pump.

WARNING !

 Cable should be protected at all 

times to  avoid punctures, cut, bruises and 

abrasions. Inspect frequently. Never handle 

connected power cords with  wet hands.

W

ARNING !

 To reduce risk of electrical 

shock, all  wiring and junction connections 

should be made per  the NEC or CEC 

and applicable state or province and  local 

codes. Requirements may vary depending 

on  usage and location.

WARNING!

 Submersible Pumps are not 

approved for  use in swimming pools, 

recreational water installations decorative 

fountains or any installation where human 

contact with the pumped fluid is common.

WARNING!

 Products returned must be 

cleaned, sanitized, or decontaminated 

as necessary prior to shipment, to insure 

that employees will not be exposed to 

health hazards in handling said material. 

All Applicable Laws And Regulations Shall 

Apply.

Bronze/brass and bronze/brass fitted 

pumps may contain lead levels higher than 

considered safe for potable water systems. 

Lead is known to cause cancer and birth 

defects or other reproductive harm. Various 

government agencies have determined that 

leaded copper alloys should not be used in  

potable water applications. For non-leaded 

copper  alloy materials of construction, 

please contact factory.

Crane Pumps & Systems, Inc. is not 

responsible for losses, injury, or death 

resulting from a failure to observe these 

safety precautions, misuse or abuse of
