2
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual or on pump.
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!
DANGER
warns about hazards that
will
cause
serious personal injury, death or major prop-
erty damage if ignored.
WARNING
warns about hazards that
can
cause serious personal injury, death or major
property damage if ignored.
CAUTION
warns about hazards that will or
can cause minor personal injury or property
damage if ignored.
The word
NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
1. To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property dam-
age, read safety instructions carefully before installing
pump.
2. Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical
codes when installing pump.
3.
To avoid fatal shocks, proceed as fol-
lows 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-
duce 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)
protected grounded outlet for cord plug.
4.
Never run pump dry.
To do so can damage internal
parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to people
handling or servicing pump), and will void warranty!
5.
Risk of fire or explosion.
Do not pump
gasoline or any other flammable liquids with pump. Do
not use pump in atmosphere that might contain
flammable fumes or vapors.
6. Do not pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with pump.
Pump is supplied with
3-conductor 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. Pro-
tect 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.
Hazardous pressure. Pump body may ex-
plode if used as a booster pump unless re-
lief valve capable of passing full pump flow at 75 PSI
(517 kPa) is installed.
Explosion hazard. Never run pump with
outlet shut off or blocked. If water is
trapped in pump during operation, it may turn to
steam, leading to explosion and burns.
NOTICE
Pump clean water only with pump.
To avoid clogging
pump and damage to shaft seal, do not pump water con-
taining solids, foreign material, sand, silt, or abrasives.
Always have suction strainer installed when pump is oper-
ating. Failure to use strainer may cause pump failure and
void warranty.
Clean strainer and flush out pump after each use.
Make sure all hose and pipe connections in suction line are
tight. An air leak in suction line will prevent proper priming
and reduce performance.
To prevent damage to pump materials, do not use pipe joint
compounds on pump ports. Use only teflon tape or Plasto-
Joint-Stik* to seal threads.
Tighten all piping joints to pump hand tight +1-1/2 turns
only. Overtightening may break pump and will void war-
ranty.
