WARNING: - Electrical Grounding Hazard - 

Adequate electrical grounding is required for the safe operation 

of Laing Pumps. Connect the ground wire to the ground terminal in the wiring compartment. Failure to follow 

these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING: - Risk of Electric Shock - 

 Do not install this pump in swimming pool or marine areas. Failure to 

follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.

WARNING: - Electrical Shock Hazard - 

 Disconnect and lockout the power before servicing. Failure to follow 

these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death and/or property damage.

Removal of Pump From Existing System For Replacement

WARNING: - Hot Water Hazard - 

Before draining the system, allow water to cool to at least 100

º

F (38

º

C), 

open the drain valve (take precautions against water damage) and leave the drain valve open until servicing 

is complete. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death and/or property 

damage.

WARNING: - Electrical Shock Hazard - 

Be certain the electrical power is not present at the motor leads before 

continuing. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death and/or property 

damage.

WARNING: - High Pressure Hazard - 

Pressure may be present in the pump body. This pressure can be 

relieved by loosening the flange bolts and shifting the pump assembly slightly to allow the pressurized water 

to escape.

 

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury and death.

1. Close the valves on the suction and discharge sides of the pump. (if no valves have been installed, it may be 

necessary to drain the system.)

2. Disconnect the electrical supply lines to the pump.

WARNING: - Excessive Pressure Hazard Volumetric Expansion - 

The heating of water and other fluids causes 

volumetric expansion. The associated forces may cause failure of system components and the release of high 

temperature fluids. This can be prevented by installing property sized and located compression tanks and 

pressure relief valves. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious personal injury, death and/or 

property damage.

WARNING: - Extreme Temperature Hazard - 

If the pump, motor or piping are operating at extremely high or 

low temperature, guarding or insulation is required. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious 

personal injury, death and/or property damage.
