SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

 

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. 

5. 

Release all pressure and drain all water from the system before servicing any component. 

6. 

Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing 

personal injury, and/or property damage. 

7. 

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. 

8. 

Wear safety goggles at all times when working with pumps. 

9. 

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. 

10.  Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use 

damaged or worn cords. 

11.  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. 

12.  Ensure that the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10 Amp fuse or circuit breaker. 

13.  Do not lift the pump by the power cord. 

14.  Know the pump and its applications, limitations, and potential hazards. 

15.  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. 

16.  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.
