GENERAL SAFETY

1.To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property damage, read the safety instructions carefully before installing this pump.

2.Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical codes when installing the pump.

3. Hazardous Pressure. The pump body may explode if used as a booster pump unless a relief valve capable of passing the full pump flow at 60 PSI (414 kPa) is installed. Never run the pump dry. To do so can damage internal parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to people handling or servicing pump), and will void warranty!

WARNING

Hazardous pressure! Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe.

Release all pressure on system before working on any component.

4. Risk of fire or explosion. To avoid risk of fire and explosion, Pump Water Only with this pump. Do not use this pump in an atmosphere that might contain flammable fumes or vapors.

5. Burn Hazard. If water is trapped in the pump during operation it may turn to steam. Trapped steam can lead to explosion and burns. Never run the pump with the outlet closed or obstructed.

6.If used with a well for potable water, always disinfect the well and test the water for purity before using. Check with your local health department for testing procedures.

7.Complete pump and piping must be protected against freezing. Freezing will cause damage and void the warranty.

8.This pump is not designed, nor intended, for the pumping of chemicals or corrosive liquids. Pump water only with this pump.

9.Do not run pump dry. If the pump is dry, damage will result and void the warranty.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

The pump is supplied with a 3-conductor ground- ing type cord. Connect only to a properly ground-

ed, GFCI protected outlet. Do not lift the pump by the electrical cord.

Match the motor voltage and the power supply voltage. The supply voltage must be within +/- 10%

of the motor nameplate voltage. Incorrect voltage can cause fire or seriously damage the motor and will void the warranty. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician.

The pump is non-submersible. Keep the motor dry

at all times. Do not wash the motor. Do not immerse. Protect the motor from wet weather.

If using an extension cord, use only a UL approved indoor/outdoor, 3-wire, grounding type cord. Do

not allow any part of the cord or the receptacle ends to sit in water or in damp locations.
