SAFETY − SECTION A
This information applies to SE Series
submersible motor driven pumps.
Because pump installations are seldom
identical, this manual cannot possibly
provide detailed instructions and pre-
cautions for each specific application.
Therefore, it is the owner/installer’s re-
sponsibility to ensure that applications
not addressed in this manual are per-
formed only after establishing that nei-
ther operator safety nor pump integrity
are compromised by the installation.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man-
ual.
2. Make certain the control box or
switch is in the OFF or STOP posi-
tion, or that the power supply to the
control box has been otherwise cut
off and locked out to ensure that
the pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to completely cool
if overheated.
5. Close the discharge valve (if
used).
This pump is not designed to pump vol-

Do not attempt to pump any liquids for
which you pump is not approved, or
which may damage the pump or endan-

ure. Consult the factory for specific ap-
plication data.
If the power cable is wired into an op-
tional manual starting switch or control
box, make sure that the enclosure is
grounded. See Section B for recom-
mended grounds.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju-

or switch is in the OFF or STOP position,
or that the power supply to the control
box has been otherwise cut off and
locked out. Tag electrical circuits to pre-
vent accidental start-up.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju-

qualified electrician to make all electri-

Never attempt to alter the length or re-
pair any power cable with a splice. The
pump motor and cable must be com-
pletely waterproof. Injury or death may
result from alterations.
All electrical connections must be in ac-
