NEVER disconnect any emergency or
safety devices. These devices are intended for operator safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any of these devices will void all warranties.
Risk of Electric Shock - This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas.
CAUTION
DO NOT restrict the fl ow of the discharge hose as it may cause the pump to overheat.
Be careful of discharge hose whipping under pressure.
ALWAYS check pump oil level only when pump is cool. Expansion due to heat may cause hot oil to spray from the oil plug when the oil plug is removed. The possibility of severe scalding may exist.
NOTICE
ALWAYS place the pump in an upright position on a platform before using.The platform will prevent the pump from burrowing itself on soft sand or mud.

a torch or other source of fl ame. Application of heat in this manner may heat the oil in the seal cavity above the critical point, causing pump damage.
DO NOT pump water with a temperature greater than 104°F.
DO NOT pump liquids containing acid or alkali.
ALWAYS check strainer before pumping. Make sure strainer is not clogged. Remove any large objects, dirt or debris from the strainer to prevent clogging.
ALWAYS use a large basket strainer when pumping water that contains large debris.
