Safety • Installation
9. 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
work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with
padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump,
follow all electrical and safety codes
that apply.
11.
Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. 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. If you use an
extension cord, it must be a 3-wire cord with
3-prong, grounding-type plug, and must be at
least 14 AWG, not more than 25' long.
•
To reduce risk of electric shock, pull plug
before servicing. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
The pump is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding-type attachment
plug. Be sure it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Keep
extension cords and all plugs dry.
•
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with codes and ordinances
that apply.
•
Do not walk on wet area until all power has
been turned off. If the shut-off box is in the
basement, call the electric company or hydro
authority to shutoff the service to house, or
call your local fire department for instructions.
Failure to follow this warning can result in a
fatal electrical shock.
•
Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
13. Make certain the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
14. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.
15.
Risk of burns . Do not touch
an operating motor. Motors can operate at
high temperatures.
16.
Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. Do not handle the pump
or the pump motor, or change fuses with
wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water.
Installation
1. Set the pump on a hard surface in at least
2 inches of water.
2. Connect the discharge line with the
fittings provided.
3. The pump should not be installed on clay,
dirt, mud or sand surfaces. Although the pump
will usually pass small particles suspended in
water, clean the area to be pumped of small
stones and gravel which could clog the pump.
NOTICE Grass, mud, sand or pea gravel can
clog the pump and reduce it's performance.
Keep the pump inlet screen clean.
4. To reduce motor noise and vibrations when
using rigid pipe, a short length of rubber
hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected
into the discharge line near the pump using
suitable clamps.
5. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V .,
60 Hz ., operation and requires a minimum
15 amp individual branch circuit . Pump is
supplied with a 3-wire cord with grounding-
type plug.
Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. Pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical
ground such as a grounded water pipe or a
properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground
wire system. Do not cut off round ground pin.
6. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside
sub-freezing atmosphere, portion of line
exposed must be installed so any water
remaining in pipe will drain to the outfall
by gravity. Failure to do this can cause water
trapped in discharge to freeze which could
result in damage to pump.
7. Check the pump operation by observing it
pump through one complete cycle.
Risk of flooding . Can cause
electrical shock and personal injury. Failure
to make this operational check may lead to
improper operation, premature failure, and
flooding.
