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.

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.
