Your safety and the safety of others are very important. And using this water

pump safely is an important responsibility.

To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating

procedures and other information on labels and in this manual. This information

alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.

Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards

good judgment.

signal words, DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These signal words

mean:

You WILL be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t

follow instructions.

You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t

follow instructions.

You CAN be HURT if you don’t follow instructions.

Your pump or other property could be damaged if you

don’t follow instructions.

Safety Headings –– such as IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

Safety Section –– such as PUMP SAFETY.

Instructions –– how to use this pump correctly and safely.

This entire book is filled with important safety information –– please read it
