GENERAL INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on
your pump or in this manual, look for one of the following signal
words and be alert to the potential for personal injury:
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause minor
personal injury or property damage if ignored.
NOTICE:
indicates special instructions which are important but
not related to hazards.
• Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on pump.
• Keep safety labels in good condition.
• Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
• Make workshops childproof; use padlocks and master
switches; remove keys.
Read carefully the product installation & operation
instructions. Failure to follow the instructions and warnings in
the manual may result in serious or fatal injury and/or property
damage, and will void the product warranty. This product must
be installed by a qualified professional. Follow all applicable
local and state codes and regulations. In the absence of such
codes, follow the current editions of the National Plumbing Code
and National Electrical Code (NEC), as applicable.
This product is used in conjunction with a system
containing a tank under pressure, which may over time corrode,
weaken and burst or explode, causing serious or fatal personal
injury, leaking or flooding and/or property damage. To minimize
risk, a licensed professional must install and periodically inspect
and service the product and system. A drip pan connected to
an adequate drain must be installed if leaking or flooding may
cause property damage. Do not locate system in an area where
leaking may cause property damage.
This control is capable of running pumps
to pressures that may exceed the limitations of system
components. Never set the operating pressure higher than that
of the safe system capacity.
This control can be adjusted to a narrow pressure
differential. An improperly sized tank can cause the pump
to cycle and lead to pump damage. This may require a larger
pressure tank than is normally used.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
This product and related accessories contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD:
Must be installed by
a qualified professional. First disconnect all electrical power
before attempting service. For your safety, the installation and
operation instructions must be followed to minimize the risk of
electric shock, property damage or personal injury.
GENERAL SAFETY
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern
motors can operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns when
servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shutdown
before handling.
• Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze. To
do so will void the warranty. See Warranty section of this
manual.
• Pump only water with this pump.
• Periodically inspect pump and system components.
• Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
• Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted.
Store all unused tools and equipment.
• Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
Pump body may explode if used as a booster pump
unless a relief valve capable of passing full pump flow at 75 psi is
installed.
A water test must be taken before installation
of any water treatment equipment. The water quality can
significantly influence the life of your system. You should
test for corrosive elements, acidity, total solids and other
relevant contaminants, including chlorine and treat your water
appropriately to ensure satisfactory performance and prevent
premature failure.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for all
sweat-solder connections, as required by state and federal
codes.
EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD:
A relief valve
must be installed to prevent pressure in excess of local code
requirement or maximum working pressure designated in the
product manual, whichever is less. Do not expose system to
freezing temperatures or temperatures in excess of 120°F
(49°C). Failure to properly size the system or follow instructions
in the manual may result in excessive strain on the system and
may lead to product failure, leakage, flooding and/or property
damage.
