General Safety
Information
1. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
Read these rules and the instructions
carefully. Failure to follow them could
cause serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
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.
Pump should only be used 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 ser-
vicing. If the power discon-
nect is out of sight, lock in
the open position and tag it to prevent
unexpected application of power. Fail-
ure to do so could result in fatal elec-
trical shock!
3. Release all pressure within the system
before servicing any component.
4. Drain all liquids from the system before
servicing.
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.

system components. Perform routine
maintenance as required (See Mainte-
nance Section).
This utility pump is
not constructed to
handle laundry discharge or any other
application which may contain caustic
chemicals and/or foreign materials. Pump
damage could occur if the pump is used
in these applications.
8. Provide a means of pressure relief
for pumps whose discharge line can
be shut-off or obstructed.

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 at a safe distance from
the work area.

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).
