WARNING! IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
This product and related
accessories contain chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS AND COMPLY
WITH ALL CODES MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1) Before installing or servicing
your pump,
BE CERTAIN THE PUMP
POWER SOURCE IS TURNED OFF
AND DISCONNECTED.
2) All installation and electrical wiring must
adhere to national, state and local codes. Check with
appropriate community agencies, or contact your local
electrical and pump professionals for help.
3) CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT.
Pump must be connected to a dedicated electrical
circuit directly from the entrance box. There must
be an appropriately sized fuse or circuit breaker in
this line. Tying into existing circuits may cause circuit
overloading, blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers or
a burned-up motor.
4) Do not connect pump to a power supply until the
pump is grounded. For maximum safety, a ground fault
interrupter should be used.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO
GROUND THIS UNIT PROPERLY MAY RESULT
IN SEVERE ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
5)
WARNING: Reduced risk of electric shock
during operation of this pump requires the provision
of acceptable grounding if the means of connection
to the supply-connection box is other than grounded
metal conduit. Ground the motor back to the service by
connecting a copper conductor, at least the size of the
circuit conductors supplying the motor, to the ground
screw provided within the wiring compartment of the
motor.
6) The voltage and phase of the power supply must
match the voltage and phase of the pump motor.
7) Do not use an extension cord.
8) Never operate a pump with a frayed or brittle
power cord, and always protect it from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord.
9) Never service a motor or power cord with
wet hands or while standing in or near water or
damp ground.
10) The three phase units must be wired by a
qualified electrician, using an approved starter box and
switching device.
11) Do not use this pump in, or in close proximity
to, any body of water such as to allow physical contact
with both the pump and with water.
12) Single phase motors are equipped with
automatic resetting thermal protectors. The motor may
restart unexpectedly, causing the leads to energize or
pump to turn. Three phase motors should be protected
by proper, thermal and amperage protection. (Check
local codes.)
13) Do not pump gasoline, chemicals, corrosives
or flammable liquids; they could ignite, explode or
damage the pump, causing injury and voiding
the warranty.
14) Do not run this pump with the
discharge completely closed. This will
create superheated water, which could
damage the seal and shorten the life
of the motor. This superheated water
could also cause severe burns.
15) The following may cause
severe damage to the pump and
void warranty. It could also result in
personal injury:
• Running the pump dry.
• Failure to protect the pump
from below freezing temperatures.
• Running the pump with the discharge
completely closed.
• Pumping chemicals or corrosive
liquids.
16) Never work on the pump or system without
relieving the internal pressure.
17) Do not pump water above 140
°
Fahrenheit
(60° Celsius) with plastic impeller. Brass impeller
version is rated to 212° Fahrenheit (100° Celsius).
18) Never exceed the pressure rating of any system
component.
19) Not intended to be permanently connected to
water mains and not connected by hose set.
20) This appliance is not intended for use by
persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
21) Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING
Stationary - Pump to be securely mounted to a level
rigid base using the four slots provided on the motor
foot bracket. The slots will accommodate 3/8" or 10mm
mounting bolts.
Pump should be located where flooding cannot occur.
PIPING
Pipes must line up and not be forced into position by
unions.
Piping should be independently supported
near the pump so that no strain will be placed on
the pump casing. Where any noise is objectionable,
