User safety

General safety rules.
• Always keep work area clean
• Pay attention to the risks presented by gas and vapors in the work area.
• Avoid all electrical dangers. Pay attention to the risks of electric shock or arc flash
hazards
• Always bear in mind the risk of drowning, electrical accidents and burn injuries
• Do not install a damaged pump. If a pump becomes damaged during use, replace
the unit as soon as possible
DANGER: This product is not intended for damage control or to deal with flooding
resulting from hull damage. This product is intended to be used in Bilge Pumping
Systems for small craft with a hull length up to 24 meters, as described within the intro-
duction and scope of ISO 15083. Bilge Pumping Systems, as specified in ISO 15083,
are limited to normal amounts of water in an intact boat due to spray, rain, seepage,
spillage, and occasional small amounts of water shipped from boat movements in
heavy weather. Use of product in any other way could result in flooding, catastrophic
damage to craft, serious personal injury, or death.
WARNING: This pump is designed for use with fresh water and salt water ONLY. Use
with any other hazardous, caustic, or corrosive material could result in damage to the
pump and the surrounding environment, possible exposure to hazardous substances
and injury.
Bilge pumps shall be mounted in accordance with the pump manufacturer instructions, and in an accessible location to
permit servicing and cleaning of the intake and/or screening.
On boats with an enclosed accommodation compartment, an audible alarm shall be installed indicting that the bilge water
is approaching the maximum bilge water level.
Bulkhead penetrations shall be in accordance with the requirements of ABYC H-2, Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline, to
minimize the potential for migration of carbon monoxide from machinery compartments containing gasoline engines to
adjacent accommodation compartments.
Potential electrical sources of ignition located in spaces containing gasoline powered machinery, or gasoline fuel tank(s),
or joint fitting(s), or other connection(s) between components of a gasoline system, shall be ignition protected, unless the
component is isolated from a gasoline fuel source as described in ABYC E-11.5.3.3
Exception:
1. Boats using diesel fuel as the only fuel source.
2. Outboard engines mounted externally or in compartments open to the atmosphere in accordance with the
requirements of ABYC H-2, Ventilation of Boats Using Gasoline.
The bilge pump inlet shall be located so that excess bilge water can be removed from the bilge at static floating position,
and at maximum conditions created by the boat's motion, heel, and trim.

All potential sources of ignition located in spaces containing gasoline powered machinery or gasoline fuel tank(s), or joint
fitting(s), or other connection(s), between components of a gasoline system, shall be ignition protected in accordance with
the requirements of ABYC E-11, AC and DC Electrical Systems On Boats.
The electrical wiring, connections, and installation shall be in accordance with the requirements of ABYC E-11, AC and DC
Electrical Systems On Boats.
