during operation. Failure to observe this warning may cause injury by being
caught in a rotating part such as impeller. Do not put fingers in strainer or pump
intake.
•
Never operate the pump under minimum water levels during continuous
operation
•
When changes in current and pressure occur during operation, check for
abnormalities such as overload due to entrance of foreign matter.
•
Immediately stop operation upon detection of any malfunction. Failure to
observe this caution may cause electric shock, injury or fire.
•
Make sure to turn OFF the power source at power failure. Failure to
observe this caution may cause injury.

flammable material exist. Death or Serious injury will result.
1. Change of running condition depending on water level. If the suction water level
comes down near “LEVEL 1”, air will be suctioned with generated vortex and
consequently the pump is put in water-roaring run condition, which continues until
the water level reaches next “LEVEL 2”. (Refer to Fig. 2)
