SAFETY
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before
servicing.
4. Secure the pump on a solid base as close to the source of water as possible.
5. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured
discharge hose to "whip”, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and
ensure the hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to
move the greatest amount of water quickly.
7. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump directly to a grounded GFCI outlet.
9. 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 the water. If using a 50' (15 m) cord, use 16-gauge wire. If using a 100' (30 m) cord, use
14-gauge wire.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a
10 A or larger fuse or circuit
breaker.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components to ensure that the pump inlets are free of
mud, sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), and in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA) or the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
14. 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, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use the 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 NEC or CEC and local codes and
ordinances. AII wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.
