INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides you with the information required to safely own
and operate your Red Lion pump. Retain these instructions for future reference.
The Red Lion pump you have purchased is of the highest quality workmanship
and material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable service.
Red Lion pumps are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to ensure safe
delivery and operation. Please examine your pump carefully to ensure that no
damage occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, please contact the
place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if required.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO
INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR RED LION PUMP. KNOW
THE PUMP’S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS
COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
During installation, follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
All wiring and electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician.
For maximum safety, this pump should be connected to a three-prong grounded
outlet equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump
component materials. Failure to follow this warning can result in property
damage, personal injury, or death.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet
or damp surface, or in water. Do not stand in water while changing fuses or insert
your finger into the fuse socket.
Drain all liquids and release all pressure within the system before servicing the
pump or any component.
Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power source before
attempting to service or remove any component.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to operate at
high temperatures.
Provide adequate protection and guarding around moving parts. Secure the
discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip,
possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, ensure that it is connected
to a properly-grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Support the pump and its piping during assembly and after installation. Failure
to do so may cause damage to the pump and/or piping.
Do not run the pump dry. It is designed to be cooled by the fluid it moves. If the
pump is run dry it will become dangerously hot, and could cause personal injury
and/or damage to the pump.
If your pump is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong grounds
the pump to prevent possible electrical shock hazard. Do not remove the third
prong from the plug.
A separate branch circuit is recommended.
Pump is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly.
