SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Specifications
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• Wire pump system for correct voltage.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) device if required by code.
• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-
type receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump
to help prevent possible electric shock hazard. Do not use an extension cord.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are prop-
erly connected.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance
with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• The pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. If the
pump is used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to
the electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
abilities, or lacking in experience and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not
use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in the immediate vicinity.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high tempera-
ture that could cause skin burns if touched and will cause serious damage to the pump.
• Ensure that the maximum temperature of the pumped liquid will not exceed 86 °F in continuous
operation.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this
manual. Read entire manual before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and
retain manual for future use.
