SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
- This manual contains
important safety and operating instructions for the
NexPump. Follow these important safety precautions.
Failure to follow safety precautions can result in personal
injury or damage to the NexPump.
CAUTION - To reduce the risk of injury, charge only
lead type rechargeable batteries. Other types of
batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.
Do not expose the NexPump System Unit to rain or snow.
Do not install the NexPump System Unit where
temperatures will be below freezing (32 degrees
Fahrenheit).
Do not charge a battery that may be frozen. Allow battery
to sit at room temperature before connecting to the
NexPump.
If an extension cord must be used, make sure
A: That the pins on the plug or extension cord are the
same number, size and shape as those of the
plug on the NexPump System Unit.
B: That the extension cord is properly wired and in
good electrical condition.
C: That the wire size is large enough for the AC
ampere rating of the NexPump System Unit.
Do not operate the NexPump System Unit if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise
damaged in anyway; take it to a qualified serviceman.
Do not operate the NexPump System Unit with a damaged
cord or plug – have them replaced or repaired immediately.
Do not disassemble the NexPump System Unit; take it to a
qualified serviceman when service or repair is required.
Disassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire
and void the warranty.
Never pull directly on any wiring connected to pumps,
battery, AC power or sensor. Disconnect by pulling on
connectors only.
Never force the connectors out of place, they should
disconnect and connect easily. Some connectors have
safety latches, so make sure they are depressed.
Never attempt any maintenance and/or cleaning with the
NexPump powered up. Risk of electric shock may result.
WARNING - RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES
WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD-ACID
BATTERY CAN BE DANGEROUS.
BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES
DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.
FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF THE UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THAT EACH TIME BEFORE
USING YOUR NEXPUMP CONTROL UNIT YOU
READ THIS MANUAL AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY.
Be sure the area around the battery is well
ventilated.
A SPARK NEAR THE BATTERY MAY
CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
If LEAD-ACID Battery is used
Someone should be within range of your voice and/or
close enough to come to your aid when you work near a
lead-acid battery.
Have plenty of fresh water and soap nearby in
case battery acid contacts skin, clothing or eyes.
Wear complete eye protection and clothing
protection. Avoid touching your eyes while
working near the battery.
If battery acid contacts skin and/or clothing, wash
immediately with soap and water. If acid enters the
eye, immediately flood eye with running cold water for at
least 10 minutes and get medical attention immediately.
When the battery fluid level is low, add distilled water in
each cell until the level reaches the
indicator on each cell. Do not overfill.
Precautions for all Batteries:
NEVER smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of
the battery.
Be extra cautious to reduce the risk of dropping a metal
tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the
battery or another electrical part that may cause an
explosion.
Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets,
necklaces and/or watches when working with a battery. A
battery can produce a short-circuit current high enough to
weld a ring (or the like) to metal, causing a severe burn.
When Cleaning the battery terminals. Be careful to keep
corrosion from coming in contact with eyes.
Do not use the system unit for charging Dry-Cell batteries,
that are most commonly used with household appliances.
These batteries may burst and cause injury to persons and
damage to property.
