1.
Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump water only with this
pump.
2.
Disconnect the power before servicing.
3.
Release all pressure within the system before servicing
any component.
4.
Drain all water from the system before servicing.
5.
Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing per-
sonal injury and/or property damage.
6.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
7.
Inspect the sump, pump and system components month-
ly. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform rou-
tine maintenance as required.
Fire hazard. Do not store or rest objects
on or near motor or switch linkage. Keep all flamma-
ble objects or liquids away from motor.
8.
Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis-
charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9.
Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with
pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly light-
ed – replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electri-
cal and safety codes, as well as most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase)
current and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, be cer-
tain that it is connected to properly grounded,
grounding-type receptacle. Never connect green (or
green and yellow) wire in cord to a live terminal!
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must
be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
13. Make certain that power source conforms to require-
ments of your equipment.
14. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur-
faces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace
or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electrical shock. If your base-
ment has water or moisture on floor, do not walk on
wet area until all power has been turned off. If shut-
off box is in basement, call electric company to shut-
off service to house, or call local fire department for
instructions. Remove pump and repair or replace.
Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.
INSTALLATION
1.
This unit can be installed in a sump pit with a minimum
diameter of 12"(30cm) and a depth of 12"(30cm). The
sump pit may be constructed of tile, concrete, steel or
plastic. Check the local codes for approved materials.
2.
Install the pump on a solid, level foundation, as near as
possible to the center of the sump pit. Do not hang the
pump from the discharge pipe or power cord.
Fire hazard. Pump must be level (col-
umn must be vertical) when operating. If motor is tilt-
ed, internal start/run switch may overheat and dam-
age motor.
3.
The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand
surfaces. Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel
which could clog the pump. Keep the pump inlet screen
clear.
4.
Thread the outlet pipe into the pump body carefully to
avoid stripping or crossing threads.
NOTICE:
Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe or pump. Pipe joint compound can attack
plastics and damage the pump.
5.
To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of
rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into
the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
Risk of electric shock. Pump is supplied
with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for
use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. Do not modify cord
or plug or cut off the round grounding prong. For
safety, outlet must always be electrically grounded to
a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded
water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway
or ground wire system.
