INSTALLATION
First Steps
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.
•
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) and
the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
•
Wire pump system for correct voltage as shown on the motor
nameplate. A separate branch circuit is recommended.
•
These pumps are supplied with lead wires and are intended
to be hardwired using a junction box or other approved
enclosure. The pump includes a grounding conductor. To
reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is properly con-
nected to ground.
•
To avoid hazards when installing or servicing, install a double
pole disconnect near the pump installation.
•
The 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.
•
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
