• Avoid accidental starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging pump
into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a pump is being used, turn the
switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
• Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before connecting to the power supply or turning
on the pump. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the water pump may
result in personal injury
.
WATER PUMP USE AND CARE
• Do not force the pump.
Water pumps do a better and safer job when used in the manner
for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct pump for the job.
• Never use a pump with a malfunctioning switch.
Any water pump that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service
representative before using.
• Disconnect power from pump
and place the switch in the locked or off position before
servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the water pump accidentally.
•
Store idle pumps.
When the pump is not in use, store it in a dry, secure place out of the
reach of children. Inspect pump for good working condition prior to storage and before re-
use. Protect water pump from frost.
• Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one pump may create a risk of injury when used on
another pump.
• Keep guards in place
and in working order
.
OPERATION
NOTE: It is necessary that you install the foot valve (included) if you are drawing
water from a source that is lower than the pump. The foot valve should be installed on
the bottom of the inlet pipe. A foot valve is a one-way valve that will only allow the
water to flow in one direction. This should prevent the need to prime the pump every
time you use it by keeping the water in the inlet pipe from draining out after the pump
is turned off. Check the pump for prime each time you use it. Running the pump dry
will damage it.
To Prevent Burn-Out of Pump
WARNING:
When installing, please ensure the pump is disconnected from electrical supply.
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if this
is connected to an electrical outlet.
1. Pump is only to be used with clear (clean) water. Dirty water or sand will
damage pump. If water is dirty you must use a filter on the inlet.
2. If pump is new or has not been used for a period of time the pump shaft
must be turned several times by hand before pump is turned on.
