Only qualified personnel should install, operate and repair
pump. Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
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.
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 (flammable,
caustic, etc.) unless the pump is specifically designed and
designated to handle them.
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 the impeller or other moving parts.
WARNING! -
Keep clear of suction and discharge openings.
DO NOT
insert fingers 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 on usage and location.
WARNING!
Submersible Pumps are not approved for use in
swimming pools, recreational water installations, decorative
fountains or any installation where human contact with the
pumped fluid is common.
WARNING!
Products Returned Must Be Cleaned, Sanitized,
Or Decontaminated As Necessary Prior To Shipment, To
Insure That Employees Will Not Be Exposed To Health
Hazards In Handling Said Material. All Applicable Laws And
Regulations Shall Apply.
Bronze/brass and bronze/brass fitted pumps may contain
lead levels higher than considered safe for potable water
systems. Lead is known to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Various government agencies have
determined that leaded copper alloys should not be used
in potable water applications. For non-leaded copper alloy
materials of construction, please contact factory.
