These devices are intended for operator
safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe
injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any
of these devices will void all warranties.
Risk of Electric Shock - This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas.
restrict the fl ow of the discharge hose as it may
cause the pump to overheat.
Be careful of discharge hose whipping under pressure.
check pump oil level only when pump is cool.
Expansion due to heat may cause hot oil to spray from
the oil plug when the oil plug is removed. The possibility
of severe scalding may exist.
NOTICE
place the pump in an upright position on a
platform before using. The platform will prevent the pump
from burrowing itself on soft sand or mud.
operate pump on its side.
allow the pump to freeze in water.
leave an open pump chamber unattended.
keep the machine in proper running condition.
attempt to thaw out a frozen pump by using
a torch or other source of fl ame. Application of heat in
this manner may heat the oil in the seal cavity above the
critical point, causing pump damage.
pump water with a temperature greater than
140°F (60°C).
pump liquids containing acid or alkali.
check strainer before pumping. Make sure
strainer is not clogged. Remove any large objects, dirt
or debris from the strainer to prevent clogging.
use a large basket strainer when pumping
water that contains large debris.
fl ush pump (clean) after use when pumping
water concentrated with heavy debris. It is very important
to always fl ush the pump before turning it off to prevent
clogging.
Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts
immediately.
store equipment properly when it is not being
used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location
out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
lubricate components or attempt service on a
running machine.
run pump dry.
allow the machine a proper amount of time to
cool before servicing.
Keep machine in proper running condition.
The electrical voltage required to operate
pump can cause severe injury or even death
through physical contact with live circuits.
disconnect electrical power from
pump before performing maintenance on
pump.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a
circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter
(GFCI).
