INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE!
DESCRIPTION
The pump you have purchased is a submersible effluent pump for use
in basins or lift stations and suitable for pumping effluent, wastewater, and
other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids with up to 1/2" spherical solids.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Make certain pump is disconnected from power source before attempting
to service or remove any component.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. DO NOT use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous
locations as classified by NEC, ANSI/NFPAT. Pump should be used with
liquids compatible with pump component materials.
Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface or in water.
Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord, especially when
the pump is operating or connected to power source.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is
connected to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment,
pools, etc.
In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might
result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, dis-
charge line blockage, or any other reason, a back-up system(s) and/or
alarm should be used.
Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure
to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing
failures, etc.
This pump's motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for motor heat trans-
fer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life.
However, suffocation can occur if oil is left on the water surface. If oil escapes
the motor housing, it can be removed from the surface quickly by placing
newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal pro-
tector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication
of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor
or pump.

NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug. A separate branch circuit
is recommended. Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut plug from
the cord. If the plug is cut or the cord is shortened, then this action will
void the warranty.

will easily pass solids.
CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when handling
solids install in a horizontal position or at an angle of no more than 45°.
Do not install check valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in
valve and prevent opening on start-up.
