IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – This manual contains important
instructions that must be followed during installation, operation,
and maintenance of this pump. Also familiarize yourself with the
following safety symbols and their meanings:
DANGER:
Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could

1.
Install the pump according to all plumbing, pump and
well code requirements.
2.
Test well water for purity before using the well. Call
your local health department for testing procedures.
3.
During installation, keep the well covered as much as
possible to prevent leaves and foreign matter from
falling into the well. Foreign objects in the well can
contaminate the water and cause serious mechanical
damage to the pump.
4.
Pipe joint compound can cause cracking in plastics.
Use only Teflon tape when sealing joints in plastic
pipe or connecting pipe to thermoplastic pumps.
WARNING:
California Proposition 65 Warning: This
product and related accessories contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
WARNING:
Risk of hazardous pressure. Under certain
conditions, submersible pumps can develop extremely high
pressure. Install a pressure relief valve capable of passing
entire pump flow at 75 PSI (517 kPa) when using an air over
water pressure tank. Install a pressure relief valve capable
of passing entire pump flow at 100 PSI (690 kPa) when
using a pre- charged pressure tank.
WARNING:
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. To avoid dangerous or fatal electric shock hazard, use
the pump only in a water well.
WARNING:
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Do not install this pump in any pond, river, or other
open body of water that could be used for swimming or
recreation. Do not swim, wade or play in a body of water in
which a submersible pump has been installed.
WARNING:
Install, ground, and wire the pump according
to local code and National Electrical Code requirements.
WARNING:
Disconnect electrical power supply before
installing or servicing the pump.
WARNING:
Make sure line voltage and frequency of
power supply match the motor nameplate voltage and
frequency.
CAUTION:
Risk of Flooding: Can cause personal injury
and/or property damage. Do not allow pump, pressure tank,
piping, or any other system component containing water to
freeze. Freezing may damage the system, leading to injury
or flooding. Allowing the pump or system components to
freeze will void the warranty.
