Safety Warnings for
Submersible Pumps
Correct Use of the Pump
• This line of submergible pumps is designed to pump
fresh and clear water from springs, wells and other water
reservoirs, as well as water reservoirs or irrigation systems
with clear water and solid particles up to 0.13" to BOS-1LH
and BOS-3/4LH and up to 0.12" to BOS-1/2LH
To prevent blockages, do not operate the
CAUTION
pump with waters containing larger particles.
WARNING
• Do not pump corrosive, combustible
or explosive substances (gasoline, petroleum, thinner
nitrate) grease, oil, salt and sewer water.
CAUTION
• The pump is not designed to operate
continuously. Cannot be used replacing continuous use
fixed pumps. The useful life of the pump will be shorter
regarding its use.
CAUTION
• The pump is not adequate for
circulation and filtering systems, or to be used with liquids
containing abrasive materials, or soil, sand, mud, or clay
mixes. Any of those uses is considered inadequate and can
damage the pump.
• The temperature of the liquids shall not exceed 104 °F
or be as cold there is the possibility of freezing.
CAUTION
• Avoid the pump to run dry.
WARNING
• Do not use the pump in areas where
there are explosives, near flammable liquids or gases.
CAUTION
• The connection source shall come from
properly installed and tested grounded outlets. Power from
the power supply and fuse shall match the pump's
technical data.
CAUTION
• The pump shall be connected through
an RCCB (residual current breaker) with short circuit
current design not greater to 30 mA
CAUTION
• Before connecting double check the
power supply matches the pump's requirements.
• The pump shall be used only within the
CAUTION
rated voltage, potency and rotation speed (see the
manufacturer's nameplate).
WARNING
• Do not entangle, tighten or run-over
the power cable. Protect it from sharp edges, oil or heat.
CAUTION
• Do not use extension cables with a
lower gauge than the power cable gauge.
CAUTION
• Any change or modification to the
pump and the use of non-approved spare parts could
damage the equipment and cause accidents.
WARNING
• To prevent accidents, it is forbidden to
swim or bathe into the water container where the pump is
running .
CAUTION
• Always verify the pump before each use,
(especially the power cable and its plug). A damaged
pump shall not be used. Go to a
Authorized Service Center to have it fixed.
CAUTION
• Any type of repairs shall be carried out
by a qualified technician. If repairs are carried out in a
faulty manner there is danger of liquid entering into the
electric components.
• The liquid can be contaminated as a
CAUTION
result of a lubricant leak.
WARNING
• It is not advisable that people
(including children), with reduced physical, sensorial or
mental capacities, as well as people with no experience or
knowledge, to use the pump except if they are supervised
by people responsible for their safety or having received
previous instructions for the pump's use.
CAUTION
• Children shall be supervised to ascertain
they do not play with the pump. Strict supervision is
required when disabled people or children use any power
device or are close to them.
WARNING
• In the event the power cable is
damaged, disconnect the pump from the power supply
immediately! Never run a pump if the power cable is
damaged.
WARNING
• Disconnect the plug from the power
supply before removing the pump from the water or
when servicing.
CAUTION
• Disconnect the pump when not in use.
• Before connecting the pump to the
CAUTION
power supply double check the float switch is set in the
OFF position. (See page 8)
CAUTION
• Before disconnecting the pump, the
float switch shall be set in the OFF position. (See page 8)
• Do not install nor connect the pump if
WARNING
there are people or animals in the liquids to be pumped.
