GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many years of trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained, and used. See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this manual for information about common utility pump problems and remedies. For more information, see your retailer, or call Simer customer service at 1-800-468-7867 or 1-800-546-7867.

1.Know the pump application, limitations, and poten- tial hazards.

2.Do not use in water where fish are present.

3.Disconnect the power before servicing.

4.Release all the pressure within the system before ser- vicing any component.

5.Drain all the water from the system before servicing.

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

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

8.Periodically inspect the pump and the system com- ponents. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.

9.Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

10.Personal Safety:

a.Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.

b.Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.

c.Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

d.Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, mas- ter switches, and by removing starter keys.

11.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all of the electrical and safety codes that apply.

12.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conduc- tor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or

cause death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, pull the plug before servicing. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. The pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding- type receptacle.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the codes and ordinances that apply.

Do not walk on wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-off box is in the basement, call the electric company or hydro authority to shutoff the service to house, or call your local fire depart- ment for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in a fatal electrical shock.

Do not lift the pump by the power cord.

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

14.Make certain the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.

15.Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur- faces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.

16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can operate at high temperatures.

17.Do not handle the pump or the pump motor, or change fuses with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

INSTALLATION

1.Set the pump on a hard surface in at least 2 inches of water.

2.Connect the discharge line with the fittings provided.

3.The pump should not be installed on clay, dirt, mud or sand surfaces. Although the pump will usually pass small particles suspended in water, clean the area to be pumped of small stones and gravel which could clog the pump.

*NOTICE: Grass, mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the pump and reduce it’s performance. Keep the pump inlet screen clean.

4.To reduce motor noise and vibrations when using rigid pipe, a short length of rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.

5.Power Supply: These pumps are designed for 115 V., 60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit. Pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord with grounding-type plug.
