chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Risk of electric shock.
Can shock, burn or kill. All
wiring should be done by a qualified electrician.
Wire motor for correct voltage. See “Installation” section
(refer to page 5) of this manual and motor nameplate.
Ground motor before connecting to power supply.

A complete power disconnect switch must be incorporated
in the fixed wiring.
Install, ground, wire and maintain your pump in compliance
with all applicable national and local codes and ordinances.
Consult your local building inspector for code information.
GENERAL SAFETY
Risk of explosion.
The pump body may explode if
used to boost pressure above the pressures noted on Page 3.
Do not use this pump with inlet pressure greater than 70 psi
(483 kPa)or less than 3 psi (20.7 kPa). If not already in the piping
system, install a pressure relief valve in the pump discharge
line capable of passing the full pump flow at maximum rated
pressure. If local code requires installation of a pressure relief
valve capable of handling the full pump flow at a pressure less
than 100 psi (689 kPa), follow the code requirements.
Risk of fire or explosion.
To avoid risk of fire and
explosion, pump water only with this pump. Do not pump salt
water, flammable liquids or chemicals. Do not use the pump near
gas pilot lights or where chemical or gas fumes are present.
Use of an electric pump with liquids other than water or in an
atmosphere containing chemical or gas fumes may ignite those
liquids or gases and cause injury or death due to an explosion
and/or fire. Pump approved liquids only with this pump.
Risk of burns.
If water is trapped in the pump during
operation it may turn to steam. Trapped steam may cause an
explosion resulting in injury or property damage. Never run the
pump with the outlet closed or obstructed.
Risk of freezing.
Do not allow pump, piping, or any
other system component containing water to freeze. Freezing
may damage system, leading to injury or flooding. Allowing
pump or system components to freeze will void the warranty.
NOTICE
only service agent or qualified person should replace
power cord to avoid injury.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; store
properly all unused tools and equipment.
