GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT’D)
Risk of electric shock! This pump has NOT been
tested for use in swimming pool or marine areas. NEVER
place pump in pools while people are in the water.
Risque de choc électrique! Cette
pompe N’a PAS été testée pour une utilisation dans une
piscine ou dans des aires marines. NE JAMAIS placer la pompe dans les
piscines pendant que les gens sont dans l’eau.
Do NOT handle pump with wet hands or when
standing in water or on a damp surface.
NE PAS manipuler la pompe avec les mains
humides ou debout dans l’eau ou sur une surface humide.
Risk of electric shock! This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. Use a
grounded (GFCI) receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal electrical shock.
Risque de choc électrique! Cette pompe est
fournie avec un conducteur de mise à la terre et une fiche de terre.
Utiliser une prise équipée d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre (GFCI) pour
réduire le risque de choc électrique mortel.
1. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
2. It is required that this unit be plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Consult a local electrician for installation and
availability.
3. Use the handle supplied on the pump to carry or move pump.
Otherwise, damage to the power cord or discharge hose may
occur and void warranty.
APPLICATION AND OPERATION
This unit is NOT desinged for use in septic
tanks or underground vaults to pump raw sewage or effluents. Never
use in hazardous or explosive locations.
Cette unité n’est PAS desinged pour une
utilisation dans des fosses septiques ou des voûtes souterraines pour
pomper les eaux usées ou des effluents. N’utilisez jamais dangereux ou
à explosion.
1. This pump has been designed with 1-1/4 in. NPT discharge
size. Connect pipe or fitting to the discharge threads, or connect
the supplied garden hose elbow fitting to the pump. Thread the
female end of the garden hose to the male discharge on the
pump.
2. To reduce leakage between the pump and the hose, place a hose
washer (not included) on the garden hose before installing to the
pump, and placed Teflon®tape on the adapter (not included).
3. For best pump performance, unwind the hose before starting the
pump. This will help remove any kinks or binds in the hose and
allow the unit to pump with less restriction.
4. Set the pump on a hard, flat surface in the water. Do not set the
pump directly on mud or sand surfaces. This will cause the inlet
screen to clog.
5. The water level must be at least 1-3/4 in. for the pump to prime
and operate.
NOTE: Water levels less than 1-3/4 in. will not allow the impeller
to contact water and no water will be pumped.
Do NOT allow pump to run dry.
The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Operating
pump without water WILL damage the shaft seal and cause
pump failure, and void warranty.
