Safety Information (continued)
WARNING:
Support the pump and piping when
assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause
the piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
WARNING:
This pump’s motor housing is filled with a
dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication
of the bearings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life.
However, suffocation can occur if oil is left on the water
surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can be removed
from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the
water surface to soak up the oil.
WARNING:
The pump motor is equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of the
motor overloading as a result of excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or
a defective motor or pump.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING:
Check the pump label for proper voltage
required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
WARNING:
If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical
plug, the third prong is to ground the pump to prevent
possible electrical shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third
prong from the plug. A separate branch circuit is
recommended. Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut the
plug from the cord. If the plug is cut or the cord is
shortened, then this action will void the warranty.
WARNING:
If the cord is equipped with stripped lead
wires, such as on 230v models, be sure that the lead wires
are connected to a power source correctly. The
(green/yellow) wire is the ground. The (blue or white) and
(brown or black) are live.
WARNING:
Check local electrical and building codes
before installation. The installation must be in accordance
with their regulations as well as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC).
WARNING:
To conform to the National Electrical Code all
pumps must be wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs
to 250 ft., 14 AWG wire is sufficient. For longer runs consult
a qualified electrician or the factory.
WARNING:
The pump should be connected or wired to its
own circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit
line. Fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample capacity
in the electrical circuit.
WARNING:
The flexible PVC jacketed cord assembly
mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with
the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control
panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel
must be made within a junction box and mounted outside of
the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.
