Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• 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.
• 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.
• Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power
before servicing the pump or switch.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Use with approved liquid level control with correct rating that matches marked motor input in full load amperes
or service factor amperes.
• In applications where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump
due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, an automatic back-up system and/or an
alarm should be installed.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. 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.
• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high temperature that
could cause skin burns if touched and will cause serious damage to your pump.
• Do not oil the motor. The pump's motor housing is sealed, with a high-grade dielectric oil for heat transfer and
lifetime lubrication. Use of other oils could cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
• Do not use motor in swimming areas or marine applications.
• Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of water is to
be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during operation and disconnected from power before
the pump runs dry.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not use this pump for pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that pro-
motes corrosion as this can result in damage to the pump.
• Do not run pump dry. For optimal cooling and to prolong the motor life, the liquid level being pumped should nor-
mally be above the top of the pump housing.
• This pump is not suitable for pond applications.
