RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: This pump has not been certified
for use in swimming pool areas where people are present in the
water. Therefore, pump must not be used for this purpose.
WARNING: Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Pump should only be
used with liquids compatible with pump component materials.
Failure to follow this warning can result in property damage,
personal injury, or death.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water. Do not stand
in water while changing fuses or insert your finger into the fuse
socket.
Make certain the unit is disconnected from the power source, all
liquids are drained, and all pressure released within the system
before attempting to service the pump.
This appliance has no user-serviceable parts. The motor housing of
the pump is completely sealed and requires no service. Disassembly
of the motor housing or alteration of the power cord will void all
warranties. The power cord on these units cannot be replaced.
BEFORE
Conformity with local and state electric codes is mandatory. The
National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying sump, utility, effluent
PROTECT
and all fountain pumps, pool pumps and other pond equipment.
THESE
All wiring and electrical work should be done by a qualified electrician.
An acceptable motor control switch shall be provided at the time
of installation.
Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
Do not run the pump dry. It is designed to be cooled by the fluid it
moves. If the pump is run dry it will become dangerously hot, and
could cause personal injury and/or damage to the pump.
The pump's motor housing or gear chamber contains a dielectric
oil to aid in bearing lubrication and motor heat dissipation. This
oil is non-toxic to aquatic life, however suffocation can occur if oil
is left on the water surface. If oil escapes, it can be removed from
the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the water surface to
soak up the oil.
Do not lift or carry the pump by the power cord. Use the handle
on top of the pump.
Adhere to the guidelines of the National Electric Code (NEC) or
Canadian Electric Code (CEC) and any other national, state, and
local electric, plumbing, and building codes for ALL installations.
Check with the appropriate agencies or a water systems
professional for information. The installation of this product must
be in accordance with applicable regulations.
