Only qualifi ed personnel should install, operate and repair
pump. Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualifi ed
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 backfl ow from the pressure sewer.)
Keep the control panel locked or confi ned 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
(fl ammable, caustic, etc.) unless the pump is specifi cally
designed and designated to handle them.
Do not block or restrict discharge hose, as discharge hose may

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,

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

copper alloys should not be used in potable water
applications. For non-leaded copper alloy materials of
construction, please contact factory.
