RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION
AND OPERATION
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 dam-
age, 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
reduce the chance of fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT
stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground the electrical outlet box.
D. Use only a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected grounded outlet for cord plug.
4. Never run pump dry. To do so can damage internal
parts, overheat the pump (which can cause burns to
people handling or servicing the pump), and will void
the warranty!
5.
Risk of fire or explosion if used to pump
flammable liquids or if used in explosive atmos-
pheres. Pump is designed to pump at water tempera-
tures between 32° - 77° F (0° - 25° C) only. Pump water
only with this pump.
6. Do not pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with this
pump.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn, or
cause death.
Ground pump before
connecting to power
supply.
Do not allow any part of cord of receptacle ends to
sit in water or damp locations.
Unplug pump before servicing.
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.
Pump clean water only with this 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 oper-
ating. 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 plus 1-1/2 turns only.
Overtightening may break pump and will void warranty.
