1. Read these warnings and instructions carefully.
Failure to follow them could cause serious bodily
injury and/or property damage.
2. Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
3. The power supply should be a separate circuit,
independent of all other circuits. Be sure it is
equipped with a fuse and disconnect box of ample
capacity.
4. For fire protection, the power supply should be free
of any building, preferably on a direct line from the
transformer. In the event of fire, the wires will not be
destroyed and the water supply not cut-off.
5.
Always disconnect power source before performing
any work on or near the motor or its connected load.
If the power disconnect point is out-of-sight, lock it in
the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected
application of power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock.
6.
DO NOT handle pump with wet hands or when
standing in water as fatal electrical shock could occur.
Disconnect main power supply before handling pump
for any reason.
7. Shut off power source when voltage drops 10% below
the rated voltage of the motor.
8. Protect the power cable from coming in contact with
sharp objects, oil, grease, hot surfaces or chemicals.
DO NOT kink the power cable. If damaged replace
immediately.
9.
NEVER leave the control box, fused disconnect
switch, or covers open (either partially or completely)
when not being worked on by a competent electrician
or repairman.
10. Always use caution when operating electrical controls
in damp areas. If possible, avoid all contact with
electrical equipment during thunderstorms or extreme
damp conditions.
11. Install all electrical equipment in protected area to
prevent mechanical damage which could produce
serious electrical shock and/or equipment failure.
12. Pump is designed to pump cold ground water that is
free of air or gases. Decreased pump performance
and life expectancy can occur if the ground water is
not cold (86F/30C) or contains air or gases.
13. Pump and controls must be securely and adequately
grounded as specified in section 250-43 item (A) of
the U.S.A. National Electric Code (NEC) and Section
26-954 Canadian Electrical Code. Failure to do so
could result in a fatal injury.
14.
DO NOT use this pump to pump flammable liquids
such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Failure to
follow the above warning could result in property
damage and/or personal injury.
WARNING: The pump is intended for use in a well. Motor
frame must be connected to power supply ground or fatal
electrical shock may result. Do not use this pump in
swimming pools.
