Electric Motor
WARNING: To prevent personal injury,
•
Electrical work must be performed and tested by a qualified 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.
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 specific 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 fire.
•
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 fittings 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 fluid could cause serious injury.
