SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Flow Rates
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 disconnect 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 if required by
code.
• Some pumps are 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. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
• Some pumps are supplied with lead wires and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or other approved enclosure.
This type of pump includes a grounding connector. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is properly connected to
ground.
• 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.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If not, a quali-
fied, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Wire pump system for correct voltages.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experi-
ence and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in
the immediate vicinity.
• Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing the
pump or switch.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
• In applications where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, an automatic back-up system and/or an alarm should be installed.
• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high temperature that could cause skin
burns if touched, and will cause serious damage to the pump.
• Do not oil the motor. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. The pump's motor housing is sealed. Do not open
the sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws. Opening the motor housing could cause serious electric shock and/or
permanent damage to the pump.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component
materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical
insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
• If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer's instructions. Failure to install control in
compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within manufacturer's recommendations may result in
electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
• Pumping sand or other abrasives can damage the pump and void the warranty.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not use this pump for pumping sea water, beverages, acids, chemical solutions, or any other liquid that promotes corrosion as
this can result in damage to the pump.
• Do not run pump dry. For optimal cooling and to prolong the motor life, the liquid level being pumped should normally be above
the top of the pump housing.
• This pump is not suitable for pond applications.
• Warranty is void if the motor housing cover or power cord have been removed.
