SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before Getting Started
Risk of severe injury or death by
electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before
working on or around the system. More than one discon-
nect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment
before servicing.
• Wire pump system for correct voltage.
• Do not use an extension cord; provide a properly located
outlet.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit
equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device or a residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA if required
by code.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure
power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If
not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the
problem.
• Pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the
third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the
pump to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
• To avoid hazards when installing or servicing, install a dou-
ble-pole disconnect near the pump installation.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified per-
sons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installa-
tion. The installation must be in accordance with their reg-
ulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code
(NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• This pump has been evaluated for use with water only. The
pump should only be used with liquids compatible with
pump component materials. If the pump is used with liq-
uids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid
can cause failure to the electrical insulation system result-
ing in electrical shock.

Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or equipment damage.
• This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
• Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump
power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servic-
ing the pump or switch.
• Make sure that the discharge line of the pump is secure before
operating pump. If the discharge line is not secured it could
move.
• Do not run pump dry. Running dry will cause serious damage
to the pump.
• Do not let the unit freeze. Freezing may cause cracking or dis-
tortion that may destroy the unit.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flood-
ing, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and
operation instructions provided in this manual for use with
this product. Read entire manual before starting installation
and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for
future use.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
• Keep work area clean, well-lit, and uncluttered.
• Wear safety glasses while installing or performing mainte-
nance on the pump.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Periodically inspect pump and system components. Regularly
check hoses for weakness or wear, making certain that all
connections are secure.
• Schedule and perform routine maintenance as required and in
accordance with the Maintenance section of this manual.
• The pump's motor bearings contain a small amount of lubri-
cant. In the event of product failure, pollution of the liquid
could occur due to leakage of these lubricants.
