General Safety Information
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual and on pump. Keep safety labels in good condition. Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. When you see this symbol on the pump or in the manual, look for one of the following signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury or property damage.
Warns of hazards that WILL cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
!
Warns of hazards that CAN cause serious personal injury or death, if ignored.
Warns of hazards that MAY cause minor personal injury, product or property damage if ignored.
IMPORTANT: Indicates factors concerned with operation, installation, assembly or maintenance which could result in damage to the machine or equipment if ignored.
NOTE: Indicates special instructions which are important but are not related to hazards.
9.Do not insert finger or any object into pump or motor openings.
10.Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing per- sonal injury and/or property damage or puncture.
Do not touch an operating motor or engine. They are designed to operate at high temperatures.
!
This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
!
Risk of Electric Shock. This pump has not
been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
NOTE: Pumps with the
HANDLING
1.Use handle supplied to lift pump.
2.Avoid impact on pump or motor. In particular, avoid impact on discharge end of pump or rear motor access cover.
! 
Hazardous volt- age. Can shock, burn or cause death. Ground pump before connecting to power supply.
Wire motor for correct voltage. See “Electrical” section and Motor Data Charts C&D of this manual, and motor nameplate.
Ground motor before connecting to power supply.
Meet United States National Electrical Code and local codes for all wiring.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water.
LOCATION
!
In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line block- age, or any other reason, a backup system(s) should be used.
1. Locate pump as close to the fluid source as possible, keep- |
ing the inlet pipe short as possible. |
2. Place unit where the pump and piping are protected from |
the weather and extremes of heat, humidity and below |
freezing temperatures. |
3. Mount unit in a dry location that is easily accessible for |
inspection and maintenance. If a dry location is not avail- |
able, mount it on a foundation well above the wet floor. |
4. Allow ample clearance around unit for free air circulation. |
Follow wiring instructions in this manual when connecting to power lines.
!
Always disconnect power source before performing any work on or near the motor or its connected load.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres.
Hazardous pressure! Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe. Release all pressure on system before working on any component.
1.Make workshop child proof - use padlocks, master switches; remove starter keys.
2.Wear safety glasses when working with pumps.
3.Wear a face shield and proper apparel when pumping hazardous chemicals.
4.Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted; replace all unused tools and equipment.
5.Provide guarding around moving parts.
6.Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
7.Periodically inspect pump and system components.
8.Protect electrical cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
SUCTION LIMITATIONS |
1. Units are non |
2. Pressure booster pumps are not recommended for suction |
lift applications. |
PIPING |
1. Use galvanized piping, rigid plastic or other suitable pipe |
that will not collapse under suction or rupture due to pres- |
sure. |
If hose is used, make sure it is the reinforced industrial type that is rated higher than the shutoff pressure of the system. Ordinary garden hose will collapse and starve the pump of water.
2.The diameter of the inlet and discharge pipe should be no smaller than the corresponding ports of the pump (See Figure 1). Smaller pipe will reduce the capacity of the pump. Increase pipe size on long runs.
3.Avoid air pockets in inlet piping or air will accumulate at high points, making priming difficult.
4.Use pipe compound on all joints and connections. Use Teflon tape or plastic joint stik, on plastic pipe. Draw all pipe up tightly.
IMPORTANT: The entire system must be air and water tight for efficient/proper operation.
