GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT’D)
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard hat must be
used for appropriate conditions.
Utiliser un équipement de sécurité. Toujours
porter des lunettes de protection. Un masque anti-poussière, des
chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes et un casque doivent être
utilisés selon les conditions appropriées.
If using pump to drain a vessel containing
heated water, allow time for water time to cool to ambient temperature
before pumping the water. Failure to do so may cause pump failure or
property damage and will void warranty.
Lors de l’utilisation d’une pompe pour vider
un réservoir contenant de l’eau chaude, laisser l’eau refroidir jusqu’à
température ambiante avant de la pomper. Ne pas le faire peut entraîner
une panne de la pompe ou des dégâts matériels et annulera la garantie.
This product is not approved for
permanent pool applications or as a pool or spa-cover drain
pump.
Ce produit n’est pas approuvé pour une
utilisation permanente en piscine ou comme pompe de vidange de
piscine ou de cuve thermale.
If there is water or moisture on the floor, do not
walk on wet area until all power is turned off. If the shut-off box is in
the basement, call an electrician. Failure to follow this warning could
result in fatal electrical shock.
Si le sous-sol a de l’eau ou de l’humidité sur
le plancher, ne pas marcher aux endroits mouillés avant que le courant
ne soit coupé. Si le boîtier de coupure de courant se trouve au sous-
sol, appeler un électricien. Le non-respect de cet avertissement peut
entraîner un choc électrique mortel.
Disconnect power before servicing. Improper
use could result in death or serious injury.
Débrancher l’alimentation avant de procéder
à l’entretien. Une utilisation incorrecte peut entraîner la mort ou des
blessures graves.
DO NOT handle a pump or pump motor with
wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in
water when pump is connected to power source.
NE PAS manipuler une pompe ou
un moteur de pompe avec des mains mouillées ou sur
une surface mouillée ou humide ou dans l’eau lorsque la pompe est
connectée à une source d’alimentation.
PUMP OPERATION
1. This pump has been designed to attach to a standard
garden hose. Thread the female end of the garden
hose to either discharge on the pump. Make sure the
discharge not being used is securely sealed using the
attached screw-on cap (if unused discharge is not
capped, water will not be pumped through the garden
hose).
2. To reduce leakage between the pump and the hose,
place a hose washer (not included) on the garden hose
before attaching to the pump.
3. For best pump performance, unwind the hose before
starting the pump. This will help remove any kinks or
binds in the hose and allow the unit to pump with less
restriction.
4. Place pump on a hard surface in the water. Do not set
the pump directly on mud or sand surfaces. This will
cause the inlet screen to clog. For best results clean
an area on the hard surface for the pump to sit while
working. The filter features of this pump work best if
the debris is filtered from the outside in. Sitting the
pump directly on a loose/dirty surface will not allow the
filter features to work to their full extent.
NOTE:
A flat object such as a piece of hardwood or rigid
plastic (e.g. 5 gallon bucket lid) can be placed
under the pump if no clean hard surface can be found.
However, this will increase the priming and pump down
levels.
Do not place pump directly on clay, gravel,
leaves or any loose or sandy surfaces. These surfaces contain small
stones, sand, or debris that may clog or damage the pump. This could
result in pump failure causing flooding and property damage.
5. The water level must be at least 3/16 inch deep for the
pump to operate. Water levels less than 3/16 inch will
not allow the impeller to contact water and no water
will be pumped.
6. Inspect the pump housing, power cord, and plug for
damage or leaks. If the plug is missing the grounding
prong or the cord is damaged, do not use the pump.
If the pump housing is damaged or leaking discard
pump. DO NOT USE.
Never cut off grounding prong or use an
adapter, this will void warranty.
Ne jamais débrancher la broche de mise à la
terre ou utiliser un adaptateur, cela annulera la garantie.
