WARNING
Water can be conductor of electric current when exposed to live
electrical wiring. Electrocution will result.
• Do not operate pump in flooded basements without first shutting
off electricity from outside the house. Pump should be located
outside in a vented area.
• Do not operate pump in flooded areas near power lines unless
electric service has been disconnected.
IMPORTANT
• Prolonged pumping of water containing sludge mud and gravel
will cause rapid wear to impeller or internal pump parts. Pump
only clear water.
• Pump suction lift is affected by water temperatures. Maximum
temperature of water should be 60 o C (140 o F), or lower.
• Internal pump body components will corrode if the pump is used
to pump liquids high in acidity or alkaline.
