PAGE A − 1 SAFETY
SAFETY − SECTION A
This information applies to the S Series
submersible motor driven pumps and
control boxes.
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. Lock out incoming power to the
control box 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-
atile, explosive, or flammable materials.
Do not attempt to pump any liquids for
which you pump is not approved, or
which may damage the pump or endan-
ger personnel as a result of pump fail-
ure. Consult the factory for specific ap-
plication data.
Before connecting any cable to the con-
trol box, be sure to ground the control
box. Refer to the Control Box Manual for
the suggested grounding methods.
The pump motor is designed to be oper-
ated through the control box furnished
with the pump. The control box provides
overload protection and power control.
Do not connect the pump motor directly
to the incoming power lines.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju-
ry or death. Obtain the services of a
qualified electrician to make all electri-
cal connections. Make certain that the
pump and enclosure are properly
grounded; never use gas pipe as an
electrical ground. Be sure that the in-
coming power matches the voltage and
phase of the pump and control before
connecting the power source. Do not
run the pump if the voltage is not within
the limits. If the overload unit is tripped
during pump operation, correct the
problem before restarting the pump.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju-
