ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Some models of pump
are supplied with 3-con-
nector grounding type cord.
Connect only to properly
grounded, GFCI protected
outlet. Do not lift pump by
electrical cord.
Pump is non-sub-
mersible. Keep motor
dry at all times. Do not wash
motor. Do not immerse.
Protect motor from wet
weather.
If using extension cord,
use only UL approved
indoor/outdoor, 3-wire,
grounding type cord. Do not
allow any part of cord or
receptacle ends to sit in water or damp locations.
Unplug pump before servicing.
Burn Hazard. Do not touch an oper-ating
motor.
Modern motors can operate at high temperatures.
To avoid burns when servicing pump, allow it to cool for
20 minutes after shut-down before handling.
Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical codes
when installing.
Hazardous Pressure. DO NOT
run the pump
with discharge shutoff, as hose may burst or pump may be
damaged due to high temperatures.
GENERAL SAFETY
To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property damage,
read safety instructions carefully before installing pump.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze. To
do so may damage system and will void warranty.
Risk of electric shock.
To avoid fatal shocks,
proceed as follows if pump needs servicing.
A.
Disconnect power to pump outlet box before pulling
pump cord plug.
After plug is pulled, let pump cool for
20 minutes before attempting to work on it.
B.
Take extreme care when changing fuses.
To re-duced
chance of fatal electrical shocks,
DO NOT
stand in
water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C.
Ground
electrical outlet box.
D.
Use only Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected grounded outlet
for cord plug.
Never run pump dry.
Running pump dry can damage inter-
nal parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to people
handling or servicing pump), and will void warranty.
Do not pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with pump.
Hazardous Pressure.
A.
Use high pressure reinforced type discharge hose
ONLY.
See parts list for available hose, nozzle and fit-
tings. A high pressure relief valve is recommended.
B.
DO NOT use garden hose with High Pressure Booster
pump.
Garden hose will not stand the discharge pres-
sure produced and will fail.
C.
High pressure discharge stream is dangerous.
To avoid
injury,
DO NOT aim the discharge stream at any per-
son or animal.
D.
BE SURE that the pump suction pipe pressure plus the
pump discharge pressure does not exceed the pressure
rating of hose and fittings.
See Table I for pump dis-
charge pressure ratings.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, or
cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to power
supply.
