SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area
•
Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust.
Pump motors create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away
while using pump.
Distractions can result in
mistakes.
Electrical Safety
•
This pump must be plugged into a properly
installed, and grounded GFCI outlet in
accordance with all applicable codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding
prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with
a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
outlet is grounded.
If the pump should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the
user.
•
Electrical wiring must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
Improper wiring could result in
fatal electrical shock.
•
Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to
carry the pump or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of
electrical shock.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
This increases
the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a
properly grounded GFCI outlet closer to the pump.
Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when using this pump. Do not
attempt to use this pump while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
A moment of inattention may result in serious
personal injury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
•
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance
enables better control in unexpected situations.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
hard hat must be used for appropriate conditions.
Service
•
Pump service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel.
Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified repair
personnel could result in injury and may void the
warranty.
•
When servicing a pump, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance Section of this manual.
Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or
injury and may void the warranty.
