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!
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.
Unplug the pump before servicing. To avoid fatal
shocks, proceed as follows if the pump needs
servicing.
A. Disconnect the power
to the pump outlet box
before pulling the
pump plug. Modern
motors are designed
to operate at high
temperatures. To avoid
burns when servicing
pump, allow it to cool
for 20 minutes after
shut-down before
handling.
B. Take extreme care
when changing fuses.
To reduce the chance of
fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT stand in water or put
your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground the pressure switch or motor before before
running this pump.
D. Plug pump into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected grounded outlet only.
WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Can
shock, burn, or cause death.
Ground pump before connecting
to power supply. Disconnect
power before working on pump,
motor or tank.
WARNING
Hazardous pressure!
Install pressure relief
valve in discharge pipe.
Release all pressure on
system before working on
any component.
