IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Please read these instructions thoroughly before use. Failure to follow instructions may result in
equipment damage or failure, losses, injury or death.
DANGER:
To avoid possible electric shock:
• If the power cord has been damaged, DO NOT operate, SuperFlo™ Pump should be replaced.
• If the power cord lead has been damaged, DO NOT operate, SuperFlo™ Pump should be replaced.

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of electric shock:

Interrupter and never remove the ground pin from the plug.
• Provide a “drip loop”for the power cord. This is a loop in the cord below the level of the receptacle or
plug that prevents water from traveling along the cord in the direction of the receptacle.

removing or servicing the SuperFlo™ Pump components.

• The SuperFlo™ Pump is NOT suitable for use in swimming pools, swimming ponds, or other
situations where bodily contact is made with the water.

• DO NOT place SuperFlo™ Pump near ammable or other dangerous materials or objects.
• DO NOT use the SuperFlo™ Pump for uids other than water.
• ALWAYS unplug the unit if there is no water running through it to prevent over heating.
