Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
The power supply should be a separate circuit,
independent of all other circuits. Be sure it is equipped
with a fuse and disconnect box of ample capacity.
For fire protection, the power supply should be
free of any building, preferably on a direct line
from the transformer. In the event of fire, the
wires will not be destroyed and the water supply
not cut-off.
Always disconnect power source before
performing any work on or near the motor or its
connected load. If the power disconnect point is
out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it
to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do
so could result in fatal electrical shock.
DO NOT handle pump with wet hands or when
standing in water as fatal electrical shock could
occur. Disconnect main power supply before
handling pump for any reason.
Shut off power source when voltage drops below 210 on
230 volt installations.
Protect the power cable from coming in contact with
sharp objects, oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
DO NOT kink the power cable. If damaged replace
immediately.
NEVER leave the control box, fused disconnect switch,
or covers open (either partially or completely) when not
being worked on by a competent electrician or repairman.
Always use caution when operating electrical
controls in damp areas. If possible, avoid all
contact with electrical equipment during
thunderstorms or extreme damp conditions.
Install all electrical equipment in protected area to
prevent mechanical damage which could produce serious
electrical shock and/or equipment failure.
Pump is designed to pump cold ground water that is
free of air or gases. Decreased pump performance and
life expectancy can occur if the ground water is not cold
(86ºF/30ºC) or contains air or gases.
Pump and controls must be securely and
adequately grounded as specified in section 250-
43 item (A) of the U.S.A. National Electric Code
(NEC) and Section 26-954 Canadian Electrical
Code. Failure to do so could result in a fatal injury.
DO NOT use this pump to pump flammable liquids such
as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Failure to follow the
above warning could result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
The pump is intended for use in a well. Motor
frame must be connected to power supply ground
or fatal electrical shock may result. Do not use
this pump in swimming pools.
Capacitors inside the drive controller can still hold
a lethal voltage even after power has been
removed. Allow 10 minutes for dangerous internal
voltage to discharge before making changes to
input power or motor connections.
Do not use motor or system in swimming areas.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Rules for safe installation and operation.
Read these warnings and instructions carefully . Failure to follow them could cause serious bodily injury and/or property
damage .
Do not use power factor correction capacitors with the
drive controller. Damage will result to both motor and
drive.
This equipment should be installed by technically
qualified personnel. Failure to install it in compliance
with national and local electrical codes and within stated
recommendations may result in electrical shock hazard,
fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment
failure.
