Safety Guidelines

WARNING

Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as

Egasoline, fuel oil, kerosene,

Netc. Do not use in flammable

Gand/or explosive atmospheres. L Pump should only be used with I liquids compatible with pump

Scomponent materials. Failure

Hto follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage.

1.Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.

2.WARNING: Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

3.The pump is not submersible and is intended for open-air use only.

4.Disconnect power before servicing a motor or its load. If the power disconnect is out- of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.

5.Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.

6.Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.

7.The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of operating the pump at low heads (low discharge restric- tion), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, pumping too hot a liquid, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump. Read troubleshooting chart.

8.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to operate at high temperatures.

9.Provide adequate protection and guarding around moving parts.

10.Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.

11.Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

12.Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance as required (see Maintenance section).

13.Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis- charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

14.Personal Safety: Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.

Electrical Connections

1.Make certain that power source conforms to the require- ments of your equipment.

2.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) in the United States.

3.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.

4.To reduce the risk of electric shock, the unit should be plugged directly into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong grounding-type receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the grounding wire. The motor must be securely and adequately grounded for your protection against shock hazards! Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal!

5.Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

6.To ensure a proper ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong, grounding- type plugs and receptacles that accept the equipment plug.

7.All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

8.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.

9.When using an extension cord, make sure wire is of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at the motor.
