Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death.

Ground pump before connecting to power supply.

Pump is supplied with 3-conductor grounding

type cord. Connect only to properly grounded, GFCI protected outlet. Do not lift pump by electrical cord. Do not use an extension cord.

Pump is non-sub- mersible. Keep motor

dry at all times. Do not wash motor. Do not immerse. Pro-tect motor from wet weather.

Unplug pump before servicing.

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

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

3. To avoid fatal shocks, proceed as fol- lows if pump needs servicing:

A.Disconnect power to pump outlet box before pulling pump cord plug. After plug is pulled, let pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to work on it.

B.Take extreme care when changing fuses. To re- duce chance of fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.

C.Ground electrical outlet box.

D.Use only Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded outlet for cord plug.

4.Never run 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!

5. Risk of fire or explosion from sparks from motor brushes. Do not pump gasoline or any other flammable liquids with pump. Do not use pump in atmosphere that might contain flammable fumes or vapors.

6.Do not pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with pump.

Risk of fatal electrical shock if pump motor gets wet.

Keep motor dry.

Do not immerse pump or motor, or run pump if motor is wet.

If water is trapped in pump during opera- tion, it may turn to steam, leading to explosion and burns. Never run pump with outlet shut off or blocked.

NOTICE

Pump clean water only with pump. To avoid clogging pump and damage to shaft seal, do not pump water con- taining solids, foreign material, sand, silt, or abrasives. Always have suction strainer installed when pump is operating. Failure to use strainer may cause pump failure and void warranty.

Clean strainer and flush out pump after each use.

Make sure all hose and pipe connections in suction line are tight. An air leak in suction line will prevent priming and reduce performance.

To prevent damage to pump materials, do not use pipe joint compounds on pump ports. Use only teflon tape or Plasto-Joint-Stik* to seal threads.

Tighten all piping to pump hand tight +1-1/2 turns only. Overtightening may break pump and will void warranty.

Maximum liquid temperature is 120˚F (48.8˚C).
