18. The motor of this pump has a thermal protector that will trip if the motor becomes too hot. The protector will reset itself
once the motor cools down and an acceptable temperature has been reached. The pump may start unexpectedly if it is
plugged in.
19. Ensure the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
20. This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free service for a long time
when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate electrical power to the pump, dirt, or debris may
cause the pump to fail. Please carefully read the manual and follow the instructions regarding common pump problems
and remedies.
21. Never run the pump dry, as doing so may damage the mechanical seal and void the warranty. This pump has to be
primed before starting.
PRE-INSTALLATION
APPLICATION
Pump clean water only with this pump.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void
warranty.
To avoid clogging the pump and damaging the shaft seal, do not pump water containing solids, foreign material, sand, silt, or
abrasives. Always have the foot valve (sold separately) installed when the pump is operating. Failure to use a strainer may
cause the pump to fail and void the warranty.
Clean the strainer and flush out the pump after each use. Make sure all of the hose and pipe connections in the suction line
are tight. An air leak in the suction line will prevent the pump from priming and reduce pump performance.
To prevent damage to pump materials, do not use pipe joint compounds on pump ports. Use only PTFE pipe thread sealant
tape to seal the threads.
Tighten all of the piping joints to the pump hand tight +1 1/2 turns only. Over tightening may break the pump and will void the
warranty.
Do not allow the pump or any system component to freeze. Freezing will void the warranty.
Periodically inspect the pump and the system components.
