NOTICE addresses practices not related to
personal injury.
The manufacturer cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings
in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit
are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure
or operating technique that the manufacturer does not
specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it
is safe for you and others. You must also make sure that
the procedure or operating technique that you choose
does not render the system unsafe.
To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property
damage, read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on equipment carefully before installing this
pump. Keep safety labels in good condition; replace if
missing or damaged.
Hazardous pressure . The pump body may
explode if used to boost pressure above 100 psi
(689 kPa). Do not use this pump with inlet pressure
greater than 70 psi (483 kPa). If not already in the
piping system, install a pressure relief valve in the pump
discharge line capable of passing the full pump flow at
100 psi (689 kPa). If local code requires installation of a
pressure relief valve capable of handling the full pump
flow at a pressure less than 100 psi (689 kPa), follow the
code requirements.
Risk of fire or explosion . To avoid risk of
fire and explosion, Pump Water Only with this pump. Do
not pump salt water, flammable liquids or chemicals. Do
not use the pump near gas pilot lights or where chemical
or gas fumes are present. Use of an electric pump with
liquids other than water or in an atmosphere containing
chemical or gas fumes may ignite those liquids or gases
and cause injury or death due to an explosion and/
or fire.
Burn hazard . If water is trapped in the
pump during operation it may turn to steam. Trapped
steam can lead to an explosion and burns. Never run the
pump with the outlet closed or obstructed.
Burn hazard . Do not touch an operating
motor. Motors can operate at high temperatures. To avoid
burns when servicing the pump, allow it to cool for
20 minutes after shut-down before handling.
Hazardous voltage . Can shock, burn or
cause death. Ground the pump before connecting to a
power supply. Disconnect the power before working on
the pump, motor or tank.
• Wear safety glasses at all times when working
on pumps.
• The pump is supplied with a 3-conductor grounding
type cord. Connect only to a properly grounded,
GFCI protected outlet. Do not lift the pump by the
electrical cord. The pump and controller are non-
submersible. Keep the motor dry at all times. Do
not wash the motor. Do not immerse. Protect the
motor from wet weather. Unplug the pump before
servicing. After the plug is pulled, let the pump cool
for 20 minutes before attempting to work on it.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Do not allow pump or any system component to
freeze. To do so will void warranty.
• Periodically inspect pump and system components.
