General Safety

Information

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

This product or its

power cord may contain

chemicals known to the State of California

to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

GENERAL SAFETY

1. Read the instruction manual included

with the product carefully. Be

thoroughly familiar with the controls

and the proper use of the equipment.

2. Know the pump application,

limitations and potential hazards.

Always install a

pressure relief valve

to match the system pressure rating and

the maximum ﬂ ow rate.

Do not use to pump

ﬂ ammable or

explosive ﬂ uids such as gasoline,

fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in

explosive atmospheres. Pump should

only be used with liquids compatible

with pump component materials. Failure

to follow this warning can result in

personal injury and/or property damage.

Disconnect power

and release all

pressure from the system before

attempting to install, service, relocate

or perform any maintenance. Lock the

power disconnect in the open position.

Tag the power disconnect to prevent

unexpected application of power.

Install a screen

around the inlet pipe

to prevent entrapment of swimmers.

3. Drain all liquids from the system

before servicing.

4. Secure the discharge line before

starting the pump. An unsecured

discharge line will whip and possibly

cause personal injury and/or property

damage.

5. Check hoses for weak or worn

condition before each use. Make

certain all connections are secure.

6. Periodically inspect pump and system

components. Perform routine

maintenance as required (See

Maintenance).

7. 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 work area.

d. Make the workshop childproof

use padlocks, master switches and

remove starter keys.

8. Do not pump chemicals or corrosive

liquids. Pumping these liquids

shortens the life of the pumps seals

and moving parts and will void the

warranty.

9. When installing pump, cover the

well to prevent foreign matter from

falling into well and contaminating

the water and damaging internal

mechanical pumping components.

10. Always test the water from the well

for purity before use. Check with local

health department for test procedure.

11. Complete pump and piping system

MUST be protected against below

freezing temperature. Freezing

temperatures could cause severe

damage and void the warranty.

12. Do not run the pump dry or damage

will occur and will void warranty.

Risk of electrical

shock. This pump is

designed for indoor installation only.

All wiring should be

performed by a

licensed or certiﬁ ed electrician.

13. For maximum safety, the unit should

be connected to a grounded circuit

equipped with a ground fault

interrupter device.

14. Before installing the pump, have the

electrical outlet checked by a licensed

or certified electrician to make sure

the outlet is properly grounded.

15. Make sure the line voltage and

frequency of electrical current supply

agrees with the motor wiring.

16. Do not attempt repairs to the electric

motor. All repairs to the motor

must be completed at a licensed or

certified electrical motor repair shop.

Do not touch an

operating motor.

Modern motors are designed to operate

at high temperatures.

17. Avoid kinking electrical cord and

protect from sharp objects, hot

surfaces, oil and chemicals. Replace

or repair damaged or worn cords

immediately.

Disconnect power

and release all

pressure from the system before

attempting to install, service, relocate

or perform any maintenance. Lock the

power disconnect in the open position.

Tag the power disconnect to prevent

unexpected application of power.

18. Keep fingers and foreign objects

away from ventilation and other

openings. Do not insert any objects

into the motor.

Risk of electric shock!

Never connect the

green (or green and yellow wire) to a

live terminal!
