Additional Safety Precautions
1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
4. Release all pressure (drain all water) within system before servicing any component.
5. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud and sand during
operation to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent clogging and premature pump failure.
7. Check that all pipe connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a
life threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into
water.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 15 Amp or larger fuse or circuit
breaker.
11. Periodically inspect the pump and system components to be sure the pump inlets are free of mud,
sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the
workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an
approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a 2-prong
wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet)
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring
should be performed by a qualified electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.
