SAFETY INSTRUCTION
BEFORE YOU START
PUMP IDENTIFICATION
All electrical work must be performed by an authorized electrician, in compliance with
local electrical codes. NEVER, allow an unauthorized person to perform electrical work
as it could lead to electrical shock, fire, or damaging the pump.
Risk of Electrical Shock. The pump comes supplied with a grounding conductor and a
grounding type attachment plug. NEVER, operate a pump with a plug in type power
cord without a ground fault circuit interrupter. Keep power end connection dry.
Upon receiving the pump, inspect for damages or shortages.
NEVER, use the power cord to lift or lower the pump. ALWAYS, tie a chain or rope to
the handle of the pump to lift and lower the pump.
NEVER, splice or use damaged or worn cables and cords.
ALWAYS, disconnect the electrical power before servicing the pump.
DO NOT, pump liquids which are flammable.
DO NOT, operate pump in a hazardous environment.
Risk of Electric Shock, this pump has not been investigated for use in a swimming pool
application.
When installing the pump, be mindful of the pump's center of gravity and weight.
Failure to do so, may result in the pump to fall and break which may lead to injury.
This pump is NOT designed for applications involving Acid, or Alkaline.
NEVER, operate the pump dry. Doing do so will damage the seals and overheat the
motor.
Periodically, check the oil level and water in the seal chamber. Check the seal condition
quarterly for heavy duty applications or annually otherwise.
This manual does not fully cover all safety issues. For this reason, the person using or
maintaining the pump must pay special attention to their own safety as well as those
around.
NEVER, pump water with a temperature greater than 30°C.
Check the name plate of the pump to ensure product is of the correct specification you
ordered. Ensure that the voltage and frequency are correct.
Please check the nameplate on the received pump against your ordered pump.
Paying special attention to the Model, Output(Hp), Voltage and Frequency.

Electrical
The electrical voltage required to operate this pump can burn, shock, or even cause
death. Before, installing, operating or servicing this pump, please thoroughly read
this manual.
DO NOT operate this pump anywhere near explosive or flammable material.
Serious personal injury, death, or major property damage will result.
Accidental starting of the pump can cause severe injury or death.
DO NOT, splice the power cord.
It is absolutely essential that the rotation of the pump be checked. All the pumps
covered in this manual turn clockwise as viewed from the motor end.
If the motor protector trips frequently, check for the cause. It could be due to impeller
blockage, wrong/low voltage, etc…
For Automatic operation, the pump must stop before the water level reaches Pump
Minimum Water Level.(W.M.L.)
This pump comes with a built in motor protector. In the event of a current overload
or overheating, the pump will stop automatically to protect the motor. After the motor
cools down, the motor protector will automatically reset and the pump can be used
again.
DO NOT, handle or service the pump while it is connected to the power supply.
ALWAYS, ensure that the voltage and frequency supplied to the pump are correct.
Refer to the nameplate to determine the correct voltage and frequency.
ALWAYS, make sure the pump is grounded properly in accordance to local law.
DO NOT, connect the ground wire to gas pipe, water pipe, etc… as improper
grounding will result in electrical shock.
PUMP OPERATION
DANGER
INSTALLATION
ALWAYS, place the pump in an upright position. Ensure, that the pump will not burrow
itself on the soft sand or mud.
All piping must be independently supported, properly aligned and capable of handling
semi-solids.
DO NOT, restrict the discharge flow of the pump as it will cause the pump to overheat.
Be mindful of the discharge hose whipping under pressure.
To avoid backflow or outflow of the pump. Backflow, discharge hose is above the water
surface. Outflow, the discharge hose is above the source water surface.
NEVER, allow the pump to freeze in the liquid it is pumping.

STORAGE:
Disassembling the pump or modifying the pump will void manufacturer warranty.
ALWAYS, check that the voltage and amperage readings are in line with the nameplate
of the pump. Check if the water level is normal.
If the pump will not be used for a long period of time, wash the pump under tap water
removing any debris. Allow the pump to dry and then store indoors. Before, reinstalling
perform a test run to ensure it is operating correctly and within the parameters stated on
the nameplate
NOTICE
REPAIR PARTS
If the pump must be disassembled for repair, please contact an Authorized Dealer in
your area.
