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.
WARNING! -
To reduce risk of electrical shock, always
disconnect the pump from the power source before
handling or servicing. Lock out power and tag.
Prevent large articles of clothing, large amounts of chemicals,
other materials or substances such as are uncommon in domestic
sewage from entering the system.
During power black-outs, minimize water consumption at the
home(s) to prevent sewage from backing up into the house.
Always keep the shut-off valve completely open when system is
in operation (unless advised otherwise by the proper authorities).
Before removing the pump from the basin, be sure to close the
shut-off valve. (This prevents backflow from the pressure sewer.)
Keep the control panel locked or confined to prevent unauthorized
access to it.
If the pump is idle for long periods of time, it is advisable to start the
pump occasionally by adding water to the basin.
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.
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.
WARNING! -
Keep clear of suction and discharge
openings. DO NOT insert fingers in pump with power
connected.
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.
Do not exceed manufacturers recommendation for maximum
performance, as this could cause the motor to overheat.
Secure the pump in its operating position so it can not tip over,
fall or slide.
Cable should be protected at all times to avoid punctures, cut,
bruises and abrasions - inspect frequently.
Never handle connected power cords with wet hands.
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.
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.
Do not remove cord and strain relief. Do not connect conduit to
pump.
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.
