to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or
chemicals.

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.

standing in water as fatal electrical shock could
occur. Disconnect main power before handling unit
for ANY REASON!

grounded. This can be accomplished by wiring the
unit to a ground metal-clad raceway system or by
using a separate ground wire connected to the bare
metal of the motor frame or other suitable means.

head and efficiency guarantees are based on factory
test when handling clear, cold, fresh water at a
temperature not over 85°F.
LOCATION
IMPORTANT: In installations where property damage
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due
to power outages, discharge line blockage or any other
reason, a back-up system(s) and/or warning system(s)
should be used.
1. Locate pump as close to the fluid source as possible.
CAUTION: The unit should be placed where the motor
and electrical components are protected from the
weather and extremes of heat, humidity and below
freezing temperatures.
2. Mount unit in a dry location that is easily accessible
for inspection and maintenance. Allow ample
clearance around the unit for free air circulation.

Read these installation instructions in detail before
installing your pump. Be sure to check the following:
1. Be certain the motor is connected for the correct
