7. Periodically inspect the pump and
system components. Perform
routine maintenance as required
(See Maintenance Section).
8. Provide a means of pressure relief
for pumps whose discharge 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 lighted;
replace all unused tools and
equipment.
c. Keep visitors a safe distance from
the work area. Make workshop
child-proof with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter
keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven
pump such as this, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well
as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
Risk of electric shock! Never
connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live
terminal!
11. This equipment is only for use on
120 volt (single-phase) and is
equipped with an approved 3-con-
ductor cord and 3-prong,
grounding-type plug as shown in
Figure 1A & 1B.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
motor must be securely and adequately
grounded. This can be accomplished by
the following:
- Inserting plug directly into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong,
grounding-type receptacle (as shown
in Figure 1A & 1B ).
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong recepta-
cle installed in accordance with the NEC
and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
13. Always connect this product to a
grounded outlet equipped with a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) device. Consult a local
electrician for installation and
availability.
General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This
product
or its power cord contains lead, a
chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL SAFETY
1. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
Do not use to pump
flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable
and/or explosive atmospheres. Use
pump only with liquids compatible with
pump component materials. Failure to
follow this warning can result in
personal injury and/or property
damage.
2. Make certain that the power source
(electric motor) conforms to the
requirements of the equipment.
Disconnect power before
servicing. If the power dis-
connect is out of sight, lock in
the open position and tag it to prevent
unexpected application of power.
Failure to do so could result in fatal
electrical shock!
3. Release all pressure within the
system before servicing any
component.
4. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
This
pump
contains dielectric motor oil for
lubrication and motor heat transfer.
Care should be taken when disposing
of this oil. Do not use this pump in
ponds or fountains because the motor
oil can be harmful to aquatic life.
5. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak and worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
The
pump
motor is equipped with automatic
resetting thermal protector and may
restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping
is an indication of motor overloading as
a result of operating the pump at low
heads (low discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
conditions, or a defective motor or
pump.
14. This pump is designed to transfer
water in cycles. Using this pump in a
continuous duty application by
manipulating the switch to stay on,
will effect the performance and the
life of the product.
15. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately. Use wire of
adequate size to minimize voltage
drop at the motor.
16. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface,
or in water.
17. Do not hang this product by the
carry handle. Sewage pumps should
be set firmly on their legs and
supported by rigid piping. This
eliminates twisting and damage
during pump operation.
18.
Do not use an extension cord.
