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 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. Improper grounding voids 
warranty.

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 (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 moving 
parts.

  

WARNING !

 Keep clear of suction and 

discharge openings. 

DO NOT 

insert fi ngers 

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 fl uid 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 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.
