GROUNDING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the motor must
be securely and adequately grounded. This can be
accomplished by either:
1. Inserting plug directly into a properly installed, and
grounded 3-prong grounding type receptacle
(See Figure 1)
2. Permanently wiring the unit with a grounded, metal
raceway system.
3. Using a separate ground wire connect to the bare
metal of the motor frame.
4. Other suitable means.
The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord
is the grounding wire. The motor must be securely and
adequately grounded for your protection against shock
hazards!
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
To ensure a proper ground, the grounding means must
be tested by a qualified electrician.
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong,
grounding type plugs, and 3-pole receptacles that
accept the equipment plug.
GROUNDING METHODS
NOTE: All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or
repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
Keep fingers and foreign objects away from ventilation
and other openings. Do not insert any objects into the
motor.
Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at
the motor.
Disconnect power before servicing a motor or its load. If
the power disconnect is out-of-sight, lock it in the open
position and tag it to prevent unexpected application
of power.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
CAUTION! Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing on a
wet or damp surface, or in water.
SAFETY CONTINUED
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
CAUTION! Do not use pump in explosive
atmospheres. Do not pump flammable liquids.
In order to safely use this product, familiarize
yourself with this pump and with the liquid that
is going to be pumped through the unit. Even
though this pump is suitable for many liquids, it
is NOT suitable for all liquids!
1. Place the pump into the liquid to be pumped.
CAUTION! Do not pump liquids containing
metal chips or shavings. These will damage the
pump. Never operate the pump dry.
2. Attach the pump to the drum with the bung adapter
supplied.
3. Secure the discharge line of the pump to keep it
from lashing about.
4. Plug the pump power cord into a properly installed
receptacle.
CAUTION! An incorrect connection may cause
an electrical short, produce an electrical
shock or burn out the pump motor, resulting in
property damage and/or injury.
5. It is strongly recommended that this unit be plugged
into a G.F.I.C. (Ground Fault Interrupter Circuit).
Consult your local electrician for installation and
availability.
6. Unplug the pump when the pumping operation is
complete.
NOTE: The pump will drain down when it is
unplugged.
7. This unit is not waterproof and is not intended to be
used in showers, saunas, or other potentially wet
locations. The motor is designed to be used in a
clean, dry location with access to an adequate
supply of cooling air. Ambient temperature around
the motor should not exceed 104° F (40° C). For
outdoor installations motor must be protected by a
cover that does not block airflow to and around the
motor. This unit is not weatherproof, nor is it able to
be submersed in water or any other liquid.
