LIMITATIONS: This series pumps are suitable to pump water with particles less than
.75”. The  uid’s temperature limit is 40 centigrade (104°F) be careful not to pump hot
water, otherwise it will damage the pump. The pump cannot be used for sea water and
in ammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.
Keep the pump equipment out of reach of children! Warns that the failure to follow the
directions given could cause serious risk to individuals or objects.
This sign warns the operator that the failure to follow any instruction may
damage the pump and/or the system.
This pump is designed for residential clean water jobs and can be used for
gasoline but cannot be used as a continuous duty fountain pump.
ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION: Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electrode
pump shown on the nameplate correspond to those available on the mains. The installer
must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law in force.
The plug and connections should be protected from water splashes. Before using the
pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug). Do not use the pump
if it is damaged. If the pump is damaged, have it inspected.
Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation. Protect the plug
and the power cable from heats oil or the power cable must be replaced by quali ed
personnel only. The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that
grounding can be performed by simply inserting the plug.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION: This series pumps have built in thermal protection switch. The
pump stops if an overload condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has
cooled down when the built in thermal protector resets.
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS: Before servicing a pump, always shut o the main power
breaker and then unplug the pump. Make sure you are not standing in water and are
wearing insulated protective sole shoes, under  ooded conditions. Contact your local
electric company or quali ed license electrician for removal.

WARNING ! To reduce risk of electrical
shock, pumps and control panels must
be properly grounded in accordance with
the National Electric Code (NEC) or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and all
applicable state, province, local codes
and ordinances. Improper grounding voids
warranty.
WARNING! To reduce risk of electrical
shock, always disconnect the pump from the
power source before handling or servicing.
Lock out power and tag.
WARNING! Operation against
a closed discharge valve will
cause premature bearing and
seal failure on any pump, and
on end suction and self priming pump the heat build
may cause the generation of steam with resulting
dangerous pressures. It is recommended that a high
case temperature switch or pressure relief valve be
installed on the pump body.
CAUTION ! Never operate a pump with a
plug-in type power cord without a ground
fault circuit interrupter.
CAUTION ! Pumps build up heat
and pressure during operation-
allow time for pumps to cool before
handling or servicing.
WARNING ! Do not pump hazardous
materials ( ammable, caustic, etc.) unless
the pump is speci cally designed and
designated to handle them.
CAUTION ! Do not block or restrict discharge
hose, as discharge hose may whip under
pressure.
WARNING ! Do not wear loose clothing that
may become entangled in moving parts.
WARNING ! Keep clear of suction and
discharge openings. DO NOT insert ngers
in pump with power connected.
Always wear eye protection when working
on pumps.
Make sure lifting handles are securely
fastened each time before lifting. DO NOT
operate pump without safety devices in
place. Always replace safety devices that
have been removed during service or repair.
Secure the pump in its operating position so
it can not tip over, fall or slide.
DO NOT exceed manufacturers
recommendation for maximum performance,
as this could cause the motor to overheat.
DO NOT remove cord and strain relief.
DO NOT connect conduit to pump.
WARNING ! Cable should be protected at
all times to avoid punctures, cut, bruises
and abrasions. Inspect frequently. Never
handle connected power cords with wet
hands.
WARNING ! To reduce risk of electrical
shock, all wiring and junction connections
should be made per the NEC or CEC and
applicable state or province and local
codes. Requirements may vary depending

INSTALLATION: Do not work on pump until power is
unplugged. Do not cut o ground pin or use an adapter
tting. Do not use an extension cord. Do not position the
pump into a unidenti ed site which you dont know the
Max. Diameter particles mixed with water. The pump cord
should be connected to a separately fused, grounded line
with a minimum capacity of 15 amps (or GFCI Plug). It can
be connected to a non-fuse breaker as the recommended
amps. Never touch the pump when it is connected to
electrical power.
Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain pump 1.
power source is disconnected.
Installation and electrical wiring must be completed 2.
before priming pump. Check appropriate community
agencies, or contact local electrical and pump
professionals.
Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be 3.
connected to a separate GFCI plug or 15 amps circuit
breaker or 15 amps fuse block. Note that, plugging into
existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor, causing
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload, or burned out
motor.
A permanent ground connection from pump to the 4.
grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory. Pumps
come with a grounding conductor and a grounding-
type attachment plug. Do not connect pump to a power
supply until permanently grounded. For maximum
safety, ground pump to a circuit equipped with a fault
interrupter device.
Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any water, 5.
debris, or sediment, you had better add strainer in the
inlet hole to protect inners. Warning: Sump basin must
be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
Pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in
locations classi ed as hazardous.
The following may cause severe damage to pump and 6.
