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, building and electrical codes when installing the pump. Use rigid pipe when installing this pump.
3.
Hazardous Pressure. The pump body may explode if used to boost pressure above 100 psi (689 kPa). Do not use this pump with inlet pressure greater than 50 psi (345 kPa). If not already in the plumbing system, install a pressure relief valve in the pump discharge line capable of passing the full pump flow at 100 psi (689 kPa). If local code requires installation of a pressure relief valve capable of handling the full pump flow at a pressure less than 100 psi (689 kPa), follow the code requirements.
4.A low pressure safety cutoff switch is recommended to shut off power to the pump in case of low dis- charge pressure due to interruption of the incoming water supply, broken pipe, etc.
5.Never run the pump dry. To do so can damage inter- nal parts, overheat pump (which can cause burns to people handling or servicing pump), and will void warranty.
6.
Risk of fire or explosion. To avoid risk of fire and explosion, Pump Water Only with this pump. Do not pump flammable liquids or chemicals. Do not use the pump near gas pilot lights or where chemical or gas fumes are present. Use of an electric pump with liquids other than water or in an atmos- phere containing chemical or gas fumes may ignite those liquids or gases and cause injury or death due to an explosion and/or fire.
7.
Burn Hazard. If water is trapped in the pump during operation it may turn to steam. Trapped steam can lead to an explosion and burns. Never run the pump with the outlet closed or obstructed.
8.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can operate at high temperatures. To avoid burns when servicing the pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The pump is supplied with a
GFCI protected outlet. Do not lift the pump by the elec- trical cord.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. Ground the pump before connecting to a power supply. Disconnect the power before working on the pump, motor or tank.
The pump and controller are
motor. Do not immerse. Protect the motor from wet weather.
If using an extension cord, use only an approved indoor/outdoor,
not allow any part of the cord or the receptacle ends to sit in water or in damp locations.
Unplug the pump before servicing. To avoid
fatal shock, proceed as follows if the pump needs servicing.
A.Disconnect the power to the pump outlet box before unplugging the pump. After the plug is pulled, let the pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to work on it.
B.Take extreme care when changing fuses. To reduce the chance of fatal electrical shock, DO NOT stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C.Ground the electrical outlet box.
D.Plug the pump and the controller into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded outlet only.
