SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
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:
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if
ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if

minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
Make workshops childproof; use padlocks and master
switches; remove keys.
Read carefully the product installation &
operation instructions. Failure to follow the instructions
and warnings in the manual may result. Failure to follow
the instructions and warnings in the manual may result
in serious or fatal injury and/or property damage, and
will void the product warranty. This product must be
installed by a qualified professional. Follow all applicable
local and state codes and regulations. In the absense of
such codes, follow the current editions of the National
Plumbing Code and National Electric Code, as applicable.
This product is used in conjunction with
a system containing a tank under pressure, which may
over time corrode, weaken and burst or explode, causing
serious or fatal personal injury, leaking or flooding
and/or property damage. To minimize risk, a licensed
professional must install and periodically inspect and
service the product and system. A drip pan connected to
an adequate drain must be installed if leaking or flooding
could cause property damage. Do not locate system in
an area where leaking could cause property damage.
This control is capable of running pumps
to pressures that may exceed the limitations of system
components. Never set the operating pressure higher
than that of the safe system capacity.
This control can be adjusted to a narrow
pressure differential. An improperly sized tank can cause
the pump to cycle and lead to pump damage. This may
require a larger pressure tank than is normally used.
California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories
contain chemicals known to the State of California to

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD. Must be
installed by a qualified professional. First disconnect
all electrical power before attempting service. For
your safety, the installation and operation instructions
must be followed to minimize the risk of electric shock,
property damage or personal injury.

GENERAL SAFETY

Do not touch an operating motor. Modern
motors can operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns
when servicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after
shut-down before handling.
Do not allow pump or any system component to freeze.
To do so will void warranty.
Pump only water with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Wear safety glasses at all times when working on pumps.
Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted;
store all unused tools and equipment.
Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work areas.
Pump body may explode if used as a
booster pump unless relief valve capable of passing
full pump flow at 75 psi is installed.
A water test must be taken before
installation of any water treatment equipment. The
water quality can significantly influence the life of your
system. You should test for corrosive elements, acidity,
total solids and other relevant contaminants, including
chlorine and treat your water appropriately to insure
satisfactory performance and prevent premature failure.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for all
sweat-solder connections, as required by state and
federal codes.
EXPLOSION OR RUPTURE HAZARD! A relief
valve must be installed to prevent pressure in excess of
local code requirement or maximum working pressure
designated in the product manual, whichever is less.
Do not expose system to freezing temperatures or
temperatures in excess of 120°. Failure to properly size
the system or follow instructions in the manual may result
in excessive strain on the system and may lead to product
failure, leakage, flooding and/or property damage.
