NOTE
Specific information useful in maintaining
the equipment.
The installation, use and operation of this
type of equipment is affected by various
Federal, State and Local Laws and the
regulations concerning OSHA. Compliance
with such laws relating to the proper
installation and safe operation of this type of
equipment is the responsibility of the
equipment Owner and all necessary steps
should be taken by the Owner to assure
compliance with such laws before operating
the equipment.
DANGER
Do not attempt to service the pump until
the electrical power has been
disconnected and it has been verified
that the pump cannot start. Because

in place over the rotating parts. Exposed
rotating parts can catch clothing, fingers,

without a protective guard can result in
severe bodily injury. The responsibility
for the installation of protective guards is
that of the equipment owner.
DANGER
This pump is designed for the exclusive
use of pumping water. It should not be
used for pumping other media unless a
specific Purchase/Buyer agreement is
negotiated.
