in this warning could result in injury or
death to personnel.
Do not attempt to lift this pump by the
motor or control cables, or the piping.
Attach proper lifting equipment to the
lifting bail fitted on the pump.
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
ry or death. Make certain that the control
handle on the control box is in the OFF
position and locked out, or that the pow­
er supply to the control box has been
otherwise cut off and locked out, before
attempting to open or service the pump
assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre­
vent accidental start‐up.
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
cordance with The National Electric
Code and all local codes. If there is a
conflict between the instructions pro­
vided and N.E.C. Specifications, N.E.C.
Specifications shall take precedence.
All electrical equipment supplied with
this pump was in conformance with
N.E.C. requirements in effect on the
date of manufacture. Failure to follow
applicable specifications, or substitu­
tion of electrical parts not supplied or
approved by the manufacturer, can re­
sult in severe injury or death and void
warranty.
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or
hose connections are secure before op­
eration.
Approach the pump cautiously after it
has been running. Although the motor is
cooled by dispersing heat through the
motor housing cooling fins into the liq­
uid being pumped, normal operating
temperatures can still be high enough
to cause burns. The temperature will be
