SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment should be installed and serviced by technically qualified personnel who are familiar with
the correct selection and use of appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures. Failure to comply with
national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within Red Lion recommendations may result in elec-
trical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Know the product's application, limitations, and potential hazards. Read and follow instructions carefully to
avoid injury and property damage. Do not disassemble or repair unit unless described in this manual.
Refer to product data plate(s) for additional operating instructions and specifications.
Failure to follow installation or operation procedures and all applicable codes may result in the following
hazards:
Risk of death, serious injury, or property damage due to explosion, fire,
or electric shock.
• Do not use to pump flammable, combustible, or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70.
• Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water
until the unit is unplugged or electrically disconnected.
• When a pump is in its application, do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the unit is unplugged or electri-
cally disconnected.
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one dis-
connect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device.
• Wire pump system for correct voltages.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their
regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC), Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA), and Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of elec-
tric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove
the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to help prevent possible electric shock haz-
ard. Do not use an extension cord.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly con-
nected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should the junction
box be located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
