WARNINGS
1. This pump and motor unit should be installed by a qualified electrician or serviceman in accordance with
all applicable state and local codes and ordinances, and in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Improper installation may create a mechanical or electrical hazard which could cause
damage to property and which could result in serious injury or death. Always follow the schematic on
the motor for all electrical connections!
2. In order to avoid serious injury or death, always disconnect power to the motor before servicing the
pump.
3. Never run the pump dry. You must fill the priming pot (volute) with water before starting the motor.
4. Never start the pump when the motor shaft is turning. To prevent unwanted motor rotation, install a
swing type check valve.
5. If you are not competent to install the pump, get help from a qualified source.
6. Maintain a minimum flow rate of two gallons per minute.
7. Visually inspect the pump and motor once a month. If there is any leakage
from the shaft seal, replace it at once. The seal faces wear
(just like car tires) and must be replaced periodically. For critical
applications, replace the shaft seal yearly.
8. For 3 phase motors, insure correct motor rotation. See item 7 in
electrical for details.
