* Time delay fuses are recommended instead of standard fuses in any motor circuit.
MECHANICAL TROUBLES AND NOISE
If suction and discharge piping are not adequately supported, pump assembly will be strained. Use independent piping supports for suction
and discharge pipes to reduce strain on the pump.
Do not mount the pump on a wooden platform! Securely mount on a concrete platform for quietest performance before working on pump or
motor.
Avoid running pump dry. Fill pump with water before starting motor. Before removing trap cover:
STOP PUMP before proceeding.
CLOSE GATE VALVES in suction and discharge pipes.
RELEASE ALL PRESSURE from pump and piping system.
If pump is being pressure tested, be sure pressure has been released before removing trap cover.
WARNING: Fire and burn hazard. Motor runs at high temperatures. To reduce the risk of fire, do not allow debris, or foreign matter to collect
around the pump motor. Allow motor to cool prior to handling or performing maintenance.
The motor is equipped with an internal thermal protection circuit to guard against overheating. The maximum ambient temperature for motor
operation must not exceed rating on motor model plate.
