routine maintenance as required (See Maintenance).
5. 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.
6. 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. Pump only clear water.
7. When installing pump, cover the well to prevent foreign
matter from falling into well and contaminating the water and
damaging internal mechanical pumping components.
8. Always test the water from the well for purity before use.
Check with local health department for test procedure.
9. Complete pump and piping system MUST be protected
against below freezing temperature. Freezing temperatures

performed by a licensed or certifi ed electrician.
11. Before installing the pump, have the electrical circuit
checked by a licensed or certified electrician to make sure
the circuit is properly grounded.
12. Make sure the line voltage and frequency of electrical current
supply agrees with the motor wiring.
13. Do NOT attempt repairs to the electric motor. All repairs to
the motor must be completed by a licensed electrician.
Do NOT touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
14. Avoid kinking electrical cord and protect from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Replace damaged or worn

15. 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!
16. To reduce the risk of electrical shock. The motor must be
securely and adequately grounded for protection against
shock.
17. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at the
motor.
