Blue Angel Pumps SEF40D-2 - Manual (Page 2)

8. Provide a means of pressure relief
for pumps whose discharge line can
be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean,
uncluttered and properly lighted;
replace all unused tools and
equipment.
c. Keep visitors a safe distance from
the work area. Make workshop
child-proof with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter
keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven
pump such as this, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well
as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occu-
pational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
Risk of electric shock! Never
connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live
terminal!
11. This equipment is only for use on
120 volt (single-phase) and is
equipped with an approved 3-con-
ductor cord and 3-prong,
grounding-type plug as shown in
Figure 1.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
motor must be securely and
adequately grounded. This can be ac-
complished by inserting plug directly
into a properly installed and grounded
3-prong, grounding-type receptacle (as
shown in Figure 1).
Risk of electric shock! This
pump is supplied with a
grounding conductor and
grounding type attachment plug. Use a
grounded receptacle to reduce the risk
of fatal electric shock. Never cut off
the round grounding prong. Cutting
the cord or prong will void the
warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
This
product
or its power cord may contain
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL
1. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards.
Do not use unit to pump
flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in flammable
and/or explosive atmospheres. Use pump
only with liquids compatible with pump
component materials. Failure to follow
this warning can result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
This
pump
contains dielectric motor oil for motor
heat transfer. Care should be taken
when disposing of this oil. Do not use
this pump in ponds or fountains
because the motor oil can be harmful
to aquatic life.
2. Make certain that the power source
(electric motor) conforms to the
requirements of the equipment.
Disconnect power before
servicing. If the power dis-
connect is out of sight, lock
in the open position and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of
power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock!
3. Release all pressure within the
system before servicing any
component.
4. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.
5. Secure the discharge line before
starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak and worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.
7. Periodically inspect the pump and
system components. Perform
routine maintenance as required
(See Maintenance Section).
Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong recepta-
cle installed in accordance with the
NEC and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by
a qualified electrician.
13. It is strongly recommended that
this unit is plugged into a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
Consult a local electrician for
installation and availability.
The
pump
motor is equipped with automatic
resetting thermal protector and may
restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating
the pump at low heads (low discharge
restriction), excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect
motor conditions, or a defective motor
or pump.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately. Use wire of
adequate size to minimize voltage
drop at the motor.
15. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface,
or in water.
16. Do not hang this product by the
carry handle. Sump/effluent pumps
should be set firmly on their legs
and supported by rigid piping. This
eliminates twisting and damage
during pump operation.
17. Do not use an extension cord.
Do not walk on wet area
until all power has been
turned off. If the shut-off
box is in basement, call the electric
company to shut-off service to the
house, or call the local fire department
for instructions. Remove pump and
repair or replace. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fatal electrical
shock.
