(h) All piping must be clean and free of all
foreign matter to prevent clogging.
(i) Pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids
contain solid particles larger than 1/4”
Verify that the voltage and
frequency of the pump shown
on the nameplate corresponds to those available on
the mains. The installer must make sure that the
electric system is grounded in accordance with code.
• For outdoor use it is necessary to use cable with
a
length of at least 8’. The plug and connection
should be protected from water splashes. Before
using the pump, always inspect it visually
(especially power cable and plug)
• Do not use pump if it is damaged
• If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by an
authorized service center.
• Make sure that electric connections are protected
from flooding. Protect the plug and the power
cable from heat or shape edges.
The power cable must be re
placed by qualified personnel
only. Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a
double grounding contact, so that grounding can be
performed by simply inserting the plug.
This pump series has a built in thermal protection
switch. The pump stops if an overload condition
occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has
cooled down.
INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Do not work on pump until power is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or use an adapter
fitting.
Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord should be connected to a
separately fused, grounded line with a minimum
capacity of 15 amps.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be
certain pump source is disconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and local codes and must be
completed before priming pump. Check
appropriate community agencies, or contact
local electrical and pump professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump
should be connected to a separate 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block.
Note that plugging into existing outlets may
cause low voltage at motor. This could cause
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or
burned out motor.
4. For maximum safety, connect pump to a circuit
equipped with a fault interrupter device when
positioning the pump’s grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the
voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear of any water,
debris or sediment.
7. The following may cause severe damage to
pump and will void the warranty.
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an
adapter fitting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while
plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing
impeller, or otherwise removing impeller
seal.
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids,
other than motor oil.
(g) Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids
