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! 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.

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.

maximum performance, as this could cause the motor
to overheat.
WARNING! If Engine driven, never operate in an
enclosed building or area where exhaust gases can
accumulate. Never operate near a building where
exhaust gases can seep inside. Never operate in a
pit or sump without making provisions for adequate
ventilation.

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.
