For Installation of Electrical Controls at Equipment Pad (ON/OFF
Switches, Timers and Automation Load Center)
Install all electrical controls at equipment pad, such
as on/off switches, timers, and control systems,
etc. to allow the operation (startup, shut-down, or
servicing) of any pump or filter so the user does not
place any portion of his/her body over or near the
pump strainer lid, filter lid or valve closures. This
installation should allow the user enough space to
stand clear of the filter and pump during system
start-up, shut down or servicing of the system filter.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT PUMP WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HAZARDOUS PRESSURE: STAND CLEAR OF
PUMP AND FILTER DURING START UP
Circulation systems operate under high pressure.
When any part of the circulating system (i.e.
locking ring, pump, filter, valves, etc.) is serviced,
air can enter the system and become pressurized.
Pressurized air can cause the pump housing cover,
filter lid and valves to violently separate which can
result in severe personal injury or death. Filter tank lid and strainer cover
must be properly secured to prevent violent separation. Stand clear of
all circulation system equipment when turning on or starting up pump.
Before servicing equipment, make note of the filter pressure. Be sure
that all controls are set to ensure the system cannot inadvertently start
during service. Turn off all power to the pump. IMPORTANT: Place filter
manual air relief valve in the open position and wait for all pressure
in the system to be relieved.
Before starting the system, fully open the manual air relief valve and place
all system valves in the “open” position to allow water to flow freely from the
tank and back to the tank. Stand clear of all equipment and start the pump.
IMPORTANT: Do not close filter manual air relief valve until all
pressure has been discharged from the valve and a steady stream
of water appears. Observe filter pressure gauge and be sure it is not
higher than the pre-service condition.
General Installation Information
• All work must be performed by a qualified service professional, and
must conform to all national, state, and local codes.
• Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
• These instructions contain information for a variety of pump models
and therefore some instructions may not apply to a specific model. All
models are intended for use in aquaculture applications. The pump will
function correctly only if it is properly sized to the specific application
and properly installed.
Pumps improperly sized or installed or used in
applications other than for which the pump was
intended can result in severe personal injury or death. These risks
may include but not be limited to electric shock, fire, flooding, suction
entrapment or severe injury or property damage caused by a structural
failure of the pump or other system component.
The pump can produce high levels of suction within
the suction side of the plumbing system. These
high levels of suction can pose a risk if a person comes within the close
proximity of the suction openings. A person can be seriously injured
by this high level of vacuum or may become trapped and drown. It is
absolutely critical that the suction plumbing be installed in accordance
with the latest national and local codes for aquaculture systems.
A clearly labeled emergency shut-off switch for the
pump must be in an easily accessible, obvious place.
Make sure users know where it is and how to use it in case of emergency.
NOTE: ALL SUCTION PLUMBING MUST BE INSTALLED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES,
STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES.
This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Before operation, be sure to completely rinse the
pump volute with water.
Cord Connected Models Only
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that
it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
