ADDITIONAL SAFETY CAUTIONS

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.

2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.

3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before servicing.

4. Secure the pump on a solid base as close to the source of water as possible.

5. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured discharge hose to “whip”, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.

6. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and ensure hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the greatest amount of water quickly.

7. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.

8. Connect the pump directly to a grounded GFCI outlet.

9. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a
   life-threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water. If using 50ft cord, use 16 (AWG) gauge wire. If using 100ft cord, use 14 (AWG) gauge wire.

10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10-amp or larger fuse or circuit breaker.

11. Periodically inspect pump and system components to ensure that the pump inlets are free of mud, sand and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTING.

12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.

13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60Hz,and is equipped with an approved 3- conductor cord a 3-prong,grounding-type receptacle. Do not use the pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. AII wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Warning: Always use handle to lift pump. Never use a power cord to lift pump. To avoid skin burns unplug and allow time for the pump to cool after periods of extended use. Before beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged do not attempt to assemble the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
• Estimated Assembly Time : 5 minutes
