SAFETY GUIDELINES

s
DANGER
!
When a pump is in a basin, etc.,
do not touch the motor, pipes or water until unit is unplugged or
shut-off. If shut-off box is not accessible, call the electric company
to shut off service to the house, or call your local fire department
for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock

s
WARNING
!
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. The third prong is to ground the pump to help to prevent
possible electric shock hazard. Do not remove the third prong from
the plug. Do not use an extension cord.
As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked with an
Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer. This will indicate if the
power, neutral and ground wires are properly connected. If they are
not, call a qualified licensed electrician.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

s
WARNING
!
with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor
overloading/overheating, which can be caused by application issues
such as an obstructed pump impeller, switch stuck in ON position,
pump running dry, pump air-locked, pump short cycling, excessively
high or low voltage supply, or possibly a pump, motor, bearings or
seal that have reached the end of their useful life.
s
WARNING
!
is immersed in water. Also, water may be present in the surrounding
area of the pump. Caution must be used to prevent bodily injury
when working near the pump:
a. Electrical power should be disconnected prior to touching,
servicing or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, extreme
care should be used when changing fuses. Do not stand in
water while changing fuses or insert your finger into the
fuse socket.
s
WARNING
!
If the pump is run in a dry basin, the surface temperature of the pump
will rise to a high level. This high level could cause skin burns if the
pump is touched and will cause serious damage to your pump. For
optimal cooling and to prolong the motor life, the liquid level being
pumped should normally be above the top of the pump housing.
s
WARNING
!
housing is sealed. A high-grade dielectric oil devoid of water has been
put into the motor housing at the factory. Use of other oil could cause
serious electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.
s
WARNING
!
a dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the
bearings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation
can occur if oil is left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor
housing, it can be removed from the surface quickly by placing
newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.
