•   DO NOT cut off ground pin or use an adapter fitting.

•   DO NOT use an extension cord. 

•  DO NOT use this pump for water pressure booster appli- 

  cations. The pump housing is rated for 55 PSI MAX. 

•   The pump power cord should be connected to a sepa-  

  rately fused, grounded line with a minimum amp  

 

  capacity listed on page 6. It can be connected to a non- 

  fused breaker at the recommended amperes.

•  ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS - Before servicing the    

  pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then  

  unplug the pump. Make sure you are not standing in    

  water and are wearing insulted protective shoes under   

  flood conditions. Contact your local electric company or

  come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or  

 

 chemicals.

•  Wire motor to correct supply. See motor nameplate and  

  wiring diagrams and check voltage of power supply.

•  Unit must be securely and adequately electrically ground- 

  ed. This can be accomplished by wiring the unit to a    

  ground metal-clad raceway system or by using a separate  

  ground wire connected to the bare metal of the motor    

  frame or other suitable means.

•  Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has  

  no repairable internal parts and disassembling may cause  

  leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.  

•  Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for  

  the requirements of the pump.

•  Install pressure relief valve in the discharge pipe. Release  

  all pressure on system before working on any component. 

•  The following may cause severe damage to pump and will  

  void the warranty. 

  - Using an extension cord. 

  - Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter fitting. 

  - Working on the pump or switch while plugged in. 

  - Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller or other 

    wise removing impeller seal

  - Running the pump continuously.

  - Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.

  - Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids. 

•  This pump is only to be used for water systems. 

•  Protect the power cable from coming in contact with    

  sharp objects. 

•  Do not run pump dry.

•  Pump and plumbing must be full of water before startup. 

•  Do not pump water which contains sand, mud, silt or    

 debris.
