GENERAL SAFETY

Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many
years of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances
(interruption of power to the pump, dirt/debris, flooding
that exceeds the pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical
failure in the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from
functioning normally. To prevent possible water damage
due to flooding, consult your retailer about a secondary AC
pump, a DC backup pump, and/or a high water alarm. See
the "Troubleshooting Chart" in this manual for information
about common pump problems and remedies. For more
information, see your retailer or call customer service at
1-800-628-9439.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump water only
with this pump. Failure to follow this warning can result
in personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of
your equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any
component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Keep pump and system free of debris and foreign
objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
10. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with
pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well as most recent
National Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
Pump motor is equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly.
12. Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. This equipment is only for use
on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved

3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected to properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must
be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances.
13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at
motor. Refer to most recent National Electrical Code.
16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can
operate at high temperatures.
17. The oil-filled motor in this pump is not designed for use
in water containing fish. Do not use in water where fish
are present.
