Information

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

This product

or its power cord contains lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

GENERAL SAFETY

1.Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.

Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil,

kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable and/or explosive atmospheres. Use pump only with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Failure to follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or property damage.

2.Make certain that the power source (electric motor) conforms to the requirements of the equipment.

Disconnect power before servicing. If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock in

the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock!

3.Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.

4.Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.

This pump

contains dielectric motor oil for lubrication and motor heat transfer. Care should be taken when disposing of this oil. Do not use this pump in ponds or fountains because the motor oil can be harmful to aquatic life.

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

6.Check hoses for weak and worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

7.Periodically inspect the pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance as required (See Maintenance Section).

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

9.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 a safe distance from the work area. Make workshop child-proof with padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.

10.When wiring an electrically driven pump such as this, follow all electrical and safety codes, as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occu- pational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Risk of electric shock! Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal!

11.This equipment is only for use on 120 volt (single-phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-con- ductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug as shown in Figure 1A & 1B.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This can be accomplished by the following:

-Inserting plug directly into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle (as shown in Figure 1A & 1B ).

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

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

13.Always connect this product to a grounded outlet equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) device. Consult a local electrician for installation and availability.

The pump

motor is equipped with automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of operating the pump at low heads (low discharge restriction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor conditions, or a defective motor or pump.

14.This pump is designed to transfer water in cycles. Using this pump in a continuous duty application by manipulating the switch to stay on, will effect the performance and the life of the product.

15.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at the motor.

16.Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

17.Do not hang this product by the carry handle. Sewage pumps should be set firmly on their legs and supported by rigid piping. This eliminates twisting and damage during pump operation.

18.Do not use an extension cord.
