This manual contains information that relates to protecting personal safety and preventing
equipment problems. It is very important to read this manual carefully and understand it
thoroughly before using this product.
• These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator and others working
with the operator. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a permanent loss of vision,
serious personal or even fatal injury, property damage and/or tool damage. Please take the time
to read and understand them.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields when operating the pump and verify that others in the
work area are also wearing safety glasses. Safety glasses must conform to both American
National Standards Institute (ANSI Z87.1) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA Z94.3)
standards requirements and must provide protection from flying particles from the front and the
sides. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury.
• The motor of this pump has a thermal protector that will trip if the motor becomes too hot. The
protector will reset itself once the motor cools down and an acceptable temperature has been
reached. The pump may restart unexpectedly if it is plugged in.
• This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free
service for a long time when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate
electrical power to the pump, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to fail. Please carefully read
the manual and follow the instructions regarding common pump problems and remedies.
• Mastercraft Canada is not responsible for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure to
observe these safety precautions, or the misuse or abuse of pumps or equipment.
UNPACKING
• Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has
occurred, file a claim immediately with the carrier that delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
DANGER!
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the presence
of flammable or explosive vapours. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
• ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
• Do not touch the motor housing during operation. The motor is designed to operate at high temperatures. Do not
disassemble the motor housing.
• Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water before
disconnecting the power.
CAUTION!
• Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
• Know the pump and its applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
• 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.
• 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.
• Follow all local electrical and safety codes, along with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC). In addition, all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Occupational Health and Safety
(OH&S) guidelines must be followed.
• Ensure the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
• Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and ensure the hose is not
kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the greatest amount of water quickly. Also
check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
