All electrical work must be performed by

a qualified technician. Always follow the

National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian Electri-

cal Code, as well as all local, state and provincial codes.

Code questions should be directed to your local electrical

inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and OSHA safety

standards may result in personal injury or equipment dam-

age. Failure to follow manufacturer’s installation instructions

may result in electrical shock, fire hazard, personal injury or

death, damaged equipment, provide unsatisfactory perfor-

mance, and may void manufacturer’s warranty.

Standard units are not designed for use in

swimming pools, open bodies of water,

hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist. Well must

be vented per local codes. See specific pump catalog bulletins

or pump nameplate for all agency Listings.

Disconnect and lockout electrical power

before installing or servicing any electri-

cal equipment. Many pumps are equipped with automatic

thermal overload protection which may allow an overheated

pump to restart unexpectedly.

Never over pressurize the tank, piping or

system to a pressure higher than the tank's

maximum pressure rating. This will damage the tank, voids

the warranty and may create a serious hazard.

Protect tanks from excessive moisture and

spray as it will cause the tank to rust and

may create a hazard. See tank warning labels and IOM for

more information.

Do not lift, carry or hang pump by the

electrical cables. Damage to the electri-

cal cables can cause shock, burns or death.

Use only stranded copper wire to pump/

motor and ground. The ground wire must

be at least as large as the power supply wires. Wires should

be color coded for ease of maintenance and troubleshooting.

WARNING

Important notice: Read safety instructions before

proceeding with any wiring.
