GENERAL SAFETY
1. To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property
damage, read the safety instructions carefully before
installing this pump.
2. Follow local and/or national plumbing, building and
electrical codes when installing the pump. Use rigid
pipe when installing this pump.
3.
Hazardous Pressure. The pump body
may explode if used to boost pressure above 100 psi
(690 kPa). Do not use this pump with inlet pressure
greater than 50 psi (345 kPa). If not already in the
plumbing system, install a pressure relief valve in the
pump discharge line capable of passing the full pump
flow at 100 psi (689 kPa). If local code requires
installation of a pressure relief valve capable of han-
dling the full pump flow at a pressure less than 100
psi (689 kPa), follow the code requirements.
4. A low pressure safety cutoff switch is recommended
to shut off power to the pump in case of low dis-
charge pressure due to interruption of the incoming
water supply, broken pipe, etc.
5. Never run the pump dry. To do so can damage inter-
nal parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to
people handling or servicing pump), and will void
warranty.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at
6.
Risk of fire or explosion. To avoid risk
of fire and explosion, Pump Water Only with this
pump. Do not pump flammable liquids or chemicals.
Do not use the pump near gas pilot lights or where
chemical or gas fumes are present. Use of an electric
pump with liquids other than water or in an atmos-
phere containing chemical or gas fumes may ignite
those liquids or gases and cause injury or death due
to an explosion and/or fire.
7.
Burn Hazard. If water is trapped in the
pump during operation it may turn to steam.
Trapped steam can lead to an explosion and burns.
Never run the pump with the outlet closed or
obstructed.
8.
Do not touch an operating motor.
Modern motors can operate at high temperatures. To
avoid burns when servicing the pump, allow it to
cool for 20 minutes after shut-down before handling.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The pump is supplied with a 3-conductor ground-
ing type cord. Connect only to a properly ground-
ed, GFCI protected outlet. Do not lift the pump by the
electrical cord.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. Ground the pump before connecting to a
power supply. Disconnect the power before working on
the pump, motor or tank.
The pump and controller are non-submersible.
Keep the motor dry at all times. Do not wash the
motor. Do not immerse. Protect the motor from wet
weather.
If using an extension cord, use only an approved
indoor/outdoor, 3-wire, grounding type cord. Do
not allow any part of the cord or the receptacle ends to
sit in water or in damp locations.
Unplug the pump before servicing. To avoid
fatal shock, proceed as follows if the pump needs
servicing.
A. Disconnect the power to the pump outlet box before
unplugging the pump. After the plug is pulled, let the
pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to work
on it.
B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. To reduce
the chance of fatal electrical shock, DO NOT stand
in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground the electrical outlet box.
D. Plug the pump and the controller into a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded
outlet only.
