Warning! Important safety instructions! Read carefully
before installation.
California Proposition 65 Warning:
This product and related accessories
contain chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Safe Drinking Water Act:
This product is to be used exclusively
for non-potable water services. This product is not
anticipated to be used for human consumption so is
not designed for the low lead levels stated in the Safe
Drinking Water Act. It is illegal to use this product for
potable water applications for human consumption,
such as drinking water, oral hygiene, hand washing,
food preparation and dishwashing.
Failure to follow these instructions and comply with
all codes may cause serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
Before installing or servicing your pump, be
certain the pump power source is turned off
and disconnected.
All installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and local codes. Check with appropriate
community agencies or contact your local electrical
and pump professionals for help.
Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump must be
connected to a separate electrical circuit directly from
the entrance box. There must be an appropriately
sized fuse or circuit breaker in this line. Tying into
existing circuits may cause circuit overloading, blown
fuses, tripped circuit breakers or a burned-up motor.
Do not connect pump to a power supply until the
pump is grounded. For maximum safety, a ground
fault interrupter should be used. Caution: failure
to ground this unit properly may result in severe
electrical shock.
Warning: Reduced risk of electric shock during
operation of this pump requires the provision of
acceptable grounding. If the means of connection to
the supply-connection box is other than grounded
metal conduit, ground the pump back to the
service by connecting a copper conductor, at least
the size of the circuit conductors supplying the
pump, to the grounding screw provided within the
wiring compartment.
This pump is provided with a means for grounding.
To reduce the risk of electric shock from contact
with adjacent metal parts, bond supply box to the
pump-motor-grounding means and to all metal parts
accessible including metal discharge pipes and the
like, by means of a clamp, a weld or both if necessary,
secured to the equipment-grounding terminal.
The voltage and phase of the power supply must
match the voltage and phase of the pump.
Do not use an extension cord. Above ground joints
must be made in an approved junction box.
Do not work on this pump or switch while the power
is on.
Never operate a pump with a frayed or brittle power
cord, and always protect it from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Never service a motor or power cord with wet hands
or while standing in or near water or damp ground.
The three phase units must be wired by a qualified
electrician, using an approved starter box and
switching device.
Do not use this pump in or near a swimming pool.
Single phase motors are equipped with automatic
resetting thermal protectors. The motor may restart
unexpectedly, causing the leads to energize or pump
to turn on. Three phase motors should be protected
by proper thermal and amperage protection. (Check
local codes.)
Check for nicks in the wire and pump insulation
by using an ohmmeter and checking resistance to
ground before installing the pump and after installing
the pump. If in doubt on the proper procedure, check
with a qualified electrician.
Do not pump gasoline, chemicals, corrosives or
flammable liquids; they could ignite, explode or
damage the pump, causing injury and voiding
the warranty.
Do not run this pump with discharge completely
closed. This will create superheated water, which
could damage the seal and shorten the life of the
motor. This superheated water could also cause
severe burns. Always use a pressure relief valve, set
below the rating of the tank system.
Do not run the pump dry, fail to protect the pump from
below freezing temperatures.
Never work on the pump or system without relieving
the internal pressure.
Do not pump water above 120° F.
Never exceed the pressure rating of any
system component.
