Safety
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual or on pump.
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for
one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury!
DANGER warns about hazards that will
cause serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
WARNING warns about hazards that can
cause serious personal injury, death or major property
damage if ignored.
CAUTION warns about hazards that will or
can cause minor personal injury or property damage if
ignored.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which
are important but not related to hazards.
1. To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property
damage, read safety instructions carefully before
installing pump.
2. Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical
codes when installing pump.
3.
To avoid fatal shocks, proceed as fol-
lows if pump needs servicing:
A. Disconnect power to pump outlet box before
pulling pump cord plug. After plug is pulled, let
pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to
work on it.
B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. To re-
duce chance of fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT
stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground electrical outlet box.
D. Use only Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected grounded outlet for cord plug.
4. Never run pump dry. To do so can damage internal
parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to people
handling or servicing pump), and will void warranty!
5.
Risk of fire or explosion from sparks
from motor brushes. Do not pump gasoline or any
other flammable liquids with pump. Do not use pump
in atmosphere that might contain flammable fumes or
vapors.
6. Do not pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with
pump.
Risk of fatal electrical shock if pump
motor gets wet.
Keep motor dry.
Do not immerse pump or motor, or run
pump if motor is wet.
For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to
power supply.
If water is trapped in pump during opera-
tion, it may turn to steam, leading to explosion and
burns. Never run pump with outlet shut off or blocked.
NOTICE
Pump clean water only with pump. To avoid clogging
pump and damage to shaft seal, do not pump water con-
taining solids, foreign material, sand, silt, or abrasives.
Always have suction strainer installed when pump is
operating. Failure to use strainer may cause pump failure
and void warranty.
Clean strainer and flush out pump after each use.
Make sure all hose and pipe connections in suction line
are tight. An air leak in suction line will prevent priming
and reduce performance.
To prevent damage to pump materials, do not use pipe
joint compounds on pump ports. Use only teflon tape or
Plasto-Joint-Stik* to seal threads.
Tighten all piping to pump hand tight +1-1/2 turns only.
Overtightening may break pump and will void warranty.
Maximum liquid temperature is 120˚F (48.8˚C).
