Important Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This manual contains
important instructions that should be followed during water
pump operation.

Safety Symbols and Meanings

The safety alert symbol indicates a potential personal
injury hazard. A signal word (DANGER, WARNING, or
CAUTION) is used with the alert symbol to designate a
degree or level of hazard seriousness. A safety symbol
may be used to represent the type of hazard. The signal
word NOTICE is used to address practices not related to
personal njury.
DANGER indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a hazard which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a hazard which, if not avoided, could
result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE addresses practices not related to personal injury.
The manufacturer cannot possibly anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a hazard. The warnings
in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit
are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure
or operating technique that the manufacturer does not
specifically recommend, you must satisfy yourself that it is
safe for you and others. You must also make sure that the
operating technique that you choose does not render the
water pump unsafe.
