GENERAL SAFETY
Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many
years of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances
(interruption of power to the pump, dirt/debris, flooding
that exceeds the pump’s capacity, electrical or mechani-
cal failure in the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump
from functioning normally. To prevent possible water
damage due to flooding, consult your retailer about a
secondary AC pump, a DC backup pump, and/or a high
water alarm. See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this
manual for information about common pump problems
and remedies.
For more information, see your retailer or call Flotec
customer service at 1-800-365-6832.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and poten-
tial hazards.
Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
Pump water only with this pump. Failure to follow
this warning can result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
2. Make certain power source conforms to requirements
of your equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing
any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unse-
cured discharge line will whip, possibly causing per-
sonal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Keep pump and system free of debris and foreign
objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose dis-
charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
10.Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, mas-
ter switches, and by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well as most recent
National Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Pump motor is equipped with an auto-
matic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly.
12. Risk of electric shock. This equipment is
only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is
equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and
3-prong, grounding-type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, be cer-
tain that it is connected to properly grounded,
grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
13.All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
14.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur-
faces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace
or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15.Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at
motor. Refer to most recent National Electrical Code.
16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can
operate at high temperatures.
17.The oil-filled motor was not designed for use in
water containing fish. Do not use this pump in water
with fish present.
