Only qualifi ed personnel should install, operate and repair
pump. Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualifi ed
electrician.
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!
Pumps build up heat and pressure
during operation-allow time for pumps to cool
before handling or servicing.
WARNING!
-
DO NOT
pump hazardous materials
(fl ammable, caustic, etc.) unless the pump is specifi cally
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 the impeller or other moving parts.
Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety
glasses, when working on the pump or piping.
WARNING! -
Keep clear of suction and discharge
openings.
DO NOT

Bronze/brass and bronze/brass fi tted 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.
