User safety
General safety rules
• Always keep work area clean.
• Pay attention to the risks presented by gas and vapors in the work area.
• Avoid all electrical dangers. Pay attention to the risks of electric shock or
arc flash hazards.
• Always bear in mind the risk of drowning, electrical accidents and burn injuries.
WARNING: All wire connections should be made using heat shrink
butt connectors, high grade waterproof wire connectors or other means
of creating a water proof juncture. Failure to perform this action may
reduce the flow and/or damage the pump.
WARNING: This pump is designed for use with fresh water and salt
water ONLY. Use with any other hazardous, caustic, or corrosive material
could result in damage to the pump and the surrounding environment,
possible exposure to hazardous substances and injury.
WARNING: Your pump has thermal over-load protection built in. It is
not recommended for pumping liquids over 120ºF (49ºC). The thermal
overload protector will automatically shut off the pump in an overheat
situation resetting itself once the pump cools. This overload is designed
as a safety device and it will fail after repeated use. Normal operation is
for fluids between 34ºF (1ºC) & 120ºF (49ºC).
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY. The pump depends on water for cooling
and lubrication. Operating the pump without water may cause the motor
to overheat or cause damage to parts of the pump. It may also shorten
the life of your pump.
WARNING: Do not use the power cord or discharge hose to carry
or handle the pump. Doing so may cause damage to the power cord
or discharge hose. Use the carrying handle supplied with the pump.
WARNING: Do not use if the assembly presents damage such as
burned or exposed wires, or other physical damage. Contact your installer
or sales rep for further instruction.
CAUTION: Disconnect power from the system before working on the
unit to avoid personal injury, damage to the surrounding environment
and/or damage to the unit.
