GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving

salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void

warranty.

1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.

[_.WARNING]Do not use in explosive atmosphexes.

Pump water only with this pump. Failure to follow this warning can result in personal injury and/or

property damage.

Disconnect power before servicing.

Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.

Drain water from the system before servicing.

Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An un- secured discharge line will whip, possibly causing per- sonal injury and/or property damage.

Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance as required (See

MAINTENANCE, Page 4).

Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis- charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

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 at a safe distance from the work area. d. Make workshop child-proof - with padlocks, master

switches, and by removing starter keys.

10.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow elec- tricaI and safety codes, as well as the most recent National

Electrical Code.

11.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-con-

ductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.

[a'WARNING]To reduce the risk of electric shock,

pull plug before servicing. This pump has not been investigated for use in swixi_g pool areas. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded ground- ing-type receptacle.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it

must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.

12. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

13.Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.

14.Protectelectricalcordfromsharpobjects,hotsurfaces, oil,andchemicals.Avoidkinkingthecord•Replaceorre- pairdamagedorworncordsimmediately.

15.Donottouch an operating motor. Modem motors can op-

erate at high temperatures.

16. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

I AxWARNING ] Risk of electric shock. If your basement

has water or moisture on the floor, do not walk on wet area until all power has been turned off. If shut-off

box is in basement, call the electric company to shut- off service to the house, or call your local fire depart-

ment for instructions. Remove pump and repair or

replace. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.

INSTALLATION

[_&WARNING]Do not use power cord to lift motor. Al-

ways use handle, NOTICE: Do not use this pump in ponds containing plants

or fish.

1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid

foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of discharge pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet sereen clear.

2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid stripping or crossing threads.

a. To install with 3/4" garden hose, install adapter pro- Figure A

vided vdth pump.

b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread

with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*. Screw pipe

into pump hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.

NOTICE: Do not try to disassemble pump farther than re-

moving inlet screen. Any evidence of tampering v_ill void

warranty.

3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V, 60 Hz opera- tion and requires a circuit of 15 amperes or more capac-

ity. It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet.

3 wire extension cord, of at least 14 AWG (2mm z) size is suggested, with larger sizes for runs over 25 ft (7M). For Figure B

safety, pump should always be electrically grounded to a

suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off the round grounding prong.

The Pump has a 3-prong electric plug. The third prong is used to ground the pump to prevent possible fatal shock.

The third prong should never be removed. Your electrical outlet should be the 3-prong, polarized type v4th an inter-

nal ground.

A separate 15 amp GFCI branch electrical circuit is recom- mended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Testing for Ground

For your safety, check your outlet for ground using a Circuit Analyzer. (Figure A). A Circuit Analyzer will tell you by a pat-

tern of llghrs ffthe power, neutral, and ground wires are cor- rectly connected to your oudet. It can also be used to check other outlets in your home. A Circuit Analyzer is available in the Sears Electrical Department.
