Fire and burn hazard. Modern motors run at high temperatures. To reduce
risk of fi re, do not allow leaves, debris, or foreign matter to collect around the
pump motor. To avoid burns when handling the motor, let it cool for at least
20 minutes before trying to work on it. A thermal overload switch protects the
motor from heat damage during operation.
Only qualifi ed, licensed personnel should install pump. The electrical
installation shall be in accordance with the national wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000)
