Electric Motor
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
Electrical work must be performed and tested by a qualied electrician per local •
directives and standards.
Disconnect the pump from the power supply and relieve pressure before removing •
the motor case cover or performing maintenance or repair.
Check the total amperage draw for the electrical circuit you will be using. • For
example: Do not connect a pump that may draw 25 amps to a 20 amp fused electrical
circuit.
Never use an ungrounded power supply with this unit.•
Changing the voltage is an involved and, if incorrectly performed, hazardous procedure. •
Consult the manufacturer for specic information before attempting rewiring.
Wire pump motors for counterclockwise rotation when viewed from the shaft end of •
the motor.
Do not attempt to increase the power line capacity by replacing a fuse with another •
fuse of higher value. Overheating the power line may result in re.
Exposing electric pumps to rain or water could result in an electrical hazard.•
Avoid conditions that can cause damage to the power cord, such as abrasion, •
crushing, sharp cutting edges, or corrosive environment. Damage to the power cord
can cause an electrical hazard.
Hoses
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
Before operating the pump, tighten all hose connections using the correct tools. Do •
not overtighten. Connections should be only secure and leak-free. Overtightening
can cause premature thread failure or high pressure ttings to split at pressures
lower than their rated capacities.
Should a hydraulic hose rupture, burst, or need to be disconnected, immediately •
shut off the pump and shift the control valve twice to release pressure. Never
attempt to grasp a leaking hose under pressure with your hands. The force of
escaping hydraulic uid could cause serious injury.
