General Safety
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only on
portable self-contained fountains no larger than 5 feet in
any dimension.
1. Pump is designed for use with clean, cold, fresh
water. Do not use to pump any flammable liquid.
2. Do not lift pump by power cord at any time.
Attempting to lift or support the pump by the power
cord can damage the cord and cord connections,
and will void warranty. Always lift the pump by the
lifting handle.
3. Meet National Electri cal Code, Canadian Elec-
tri cal Code, and local codes for all wiring. The
National Electric Code requires installation of a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in the branch
circuit supplying fountain pumps and other pond
equipment. Purchase a GFI at your local electrical
supply dealer.
4. Installation must comply with all local codes
pertaining to outdoor ponds/waterfall/fountains.
5. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
6. Disconnect the power before servicing.
7. Release all pressure within the system before
servicing any component.
8. Drain all water from the system before servicing.
9. Secure the discharge line before starting pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
10. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain that all connections are secure.
11. Periodically inspect the pump and system
components. Keep the screen free of debris and
foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance

Risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. To reduce risk of electric shock, pull
plug before servicing. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas. Pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-
type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only
to an individual branch circuit with a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with codes and
ordinances that apply.

of your equipment.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
