SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DANGER
:
Indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
1. Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the
presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause an
explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
2. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
3. Do not touch the motor housing during operation. The motor is designed to operate at high temperatures. Do not
disassemble the motor housing.
4. Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water
before disconnect the power.
WARNING
:
indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
1. Release all pressure and drain all water from the system before servicing any component.
2. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing
personal injury, and/or property damage.
3. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a life threatening
safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water. The use of an extension
cord to power this pump is not permitted.
4. Wear safety goggles at all times when working with pumps.
5. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an approved 3-
conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. Do not remove the ground pin under any circumstances. The 3-prong
plug must be directly inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not
use this pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
(a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring
should be performed by a qualified electrician.
6. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use
damaged or worn cords.
7. Failure to comply with the instruction and designed operation of this unit may void the warranty. ATTEMPTING TO
USE A DAMAGED PUMP can result in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
8. Ensure that the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10 Amp fuse or circuit breaker.
CAUTION
:
indicates a hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
1. Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
2. Know the pump and its applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
3. Secure the pump to a solid base. This will aid in keeping the pump in a vertical orientation. This is critical in
keeping the pump operating at maximum efficiency. It will also help prevent the pump from clogging resulting in
premature failure.
4. Periodically inspect the pump and system components to ensure the pump suction screen is free of mud, sand,
and debris. Disconnect the pump from the power supply before inspecting.
5. Follow all local electrical and safety codes, along with the National Electrical Code (NEC). In addition, all
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines must be followed.
6. Do not run the pump dry. Operating the pump without water will cause damage to the seals and the pump to fail,
which voids the warranty.
