plate corresponds to those available on the mains. The installer must
make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with code.

Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord should be connected to
a grounded line with a minimum capacity of 15
amps.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be
certain pump source is disconnected.
2. Installationandelectricalwiringmustadhere
to state and local codes and must be
completed before priming pump. Check
appropriate community agencies, or contact
local electrical and pump professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt.
Note that plugging into existing outlets may
cause low voltage at motor. This could cause
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or
burned out motor.
4. Formaximumsafety,connectpumptoa
circuit equipped with a fault interrupter
devicewhenpositioningthepump’s
grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the
voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear of any debris or
sediment.
The power cable must be replaced by qualied personnel only.
Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact,
so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting the plug.
This pump series has a built in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload
condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down.
7. The following may cause severe damage to
pump and will void the warranty.
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an
adaptertting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while
plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing
impeller, or otherwise removing
impeller seal.
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive
liquids, other than motor oil.
(g) Pumpinggasolineorotherammable
liquids
(h) All piping must be clean and free of all
foreign matter to prevent clogging.
( l ) Pump will be inadequate if suspension
liquids contain solid particles larger than 1/4”.
