SAFETY GUIDELINES
STORAGE
•
Short Term—Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following short, inoperative
periods in storage. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory assembled,
in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures for up to six (6) months.
•
Long Term—For storage of six (6) months, to twenty-four (24) months, the units should
be stored in a temperature-controlled area: a roofed-over, walled enclosure that provides
protection from the elements (rain, snow, wind, dust, etc.), and where the temperature can
be maintained between 4 and 40°C (40 and 104°F). If extended high humidity is expected
to be a problem, all exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all surfaces that
have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn should be recoated with a water-based, air-dry
enamel paint. All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
•
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On initial start up, rotate impeller by
hand to ensure seal and impeller rotate freely
.
INSTALLATION
DISCHARGE
•
Discharge piping should be as short as possible. A check valve is recommended for each
pump being used. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive
backflow can cause flooding and/or damage to the pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
•
Power Cable—The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made in accordance with all
applicable electric codes. Do not use the power cable to lift pump.
WARNING!
• Release all pressure and drain all water from the system before servicing any component.
• Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal
injury, and/or property damage.
• Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a life threatening safety
hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water. We recommend the pump be plugged
directly into an outlet.
• This unit is designed only for use on 115 V (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
and 3-prong grounded plug. Do not remove the ground pin under any circumstances. The 3-prong plug must be directly
inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a
2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in
accordance with the CE code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use
damaged or worn cords.
• Failure to comply with the instruction and designed operation of this unit may void the warranty. ATTEMPTING TO USE A
DAMAGED PUMP can result in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
• Ensure that the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10 A fuse or circuit breaker.
