SAFETY INFORMATION
PUMP SAFETY
DANGER
 NEVER operate the equipment in an explosive
atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fi re could result causing severe
bodily harm or even death.
WARNING
 Accidental starting can cause severe injury
or death. ALWAYS place the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.
DO NOT place hands or fingers inside
pump when pump is running.
 NEVER disconnect any emergency or
safety devices. These devices are intended for operator
safety. Disconnection of these devices can cause severe injury, bodily harm or even death. Disconnection of any of these devices will void all warranties.
 Risk of Electric Shock - This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas.
CAUTION
DO NOT restrict the fl ow of the discharge hose as it may
cause the pump to overheat.
 Be careful of discharge hose whipping under pressure.
ALWAYS check pump oil level only when pump is cool.
Expansion due to heat may cause hot oil to spray from the oil plug when the oil plug is removed. The possibility of severe scalding may exist.
a torch or other source of fl ame. Application of heat in this manner may heat the oil in the seal cavity above the critical point, causing pump damage.
DO NOT pump water with a temperature greater than
104°F.
DO NOT pump liquids containing acid or alkali.
ALWAYS check strainer before pumping. Make sure
strainer is not clogged. Remove any large objects, dirt or debris from the strainer to prevent clogging.
ALWAYS use a large basket strainer when pumping
water that contains large debris.
ALWAYS fl ush pump (clean) after use when pumping
water concentrated with heavy debris. It is very important to always fl ush the pump before turning it off to prevent clogging.
 Fix damage to machine and replace any broken parts
immediately.
ALWAYS store equipment properly when it is not being
used. Equipment should be stored in a clean, dry location out of the reach of children and unauthorized personnel.
NEVER lubricate components or attempt service on a
running machine.
NEVER run pump dry.
ALWAYS allow the machine a proper amount of time to
cool before servicing.
 Keep machine in proper running condition.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
NOTICE
ALWAYS place the pump in an upright position on a
platform before using. The platform will prevent the pump from burrowing itself on soft sand or mud.
NEVER operate pump on its side.
DO NOT allow the pump to freeze in water.
NEVER leave an open pump chamber unattended.
ALWAYS keep the machine in proper running condition.
DO NOT attempt to thaw out a frozen pump by using
DANGER
 The electrical voltage required to operate
pump can cause severe injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. ALWAYS disconnect electrical power from pump before performing maintenance on pump.
WARNING
 To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a
circuit protected by a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI).
SAFETY INFORMATION
k
E
p
NOTICE
ALWAYS make certain that the voltage supplied to the
pump is correct. Always read the pump’s nameplate to determine what the power requirements are.
Power Cord/Cable Safety
DANGER
 NEVER let power cords or cables lay in water.
 NEVER stand in water while AC power cord is connected
to a live power source.
NEVER use damaged or worn cables or cords. Inspect
for cuts in the insulation.
NEVER grab or touch a live power
cord or cable with wet hands. The possibility exists of electrical shock,
electrocution or death.
 Make sure power cables are securely connected to the
motor's output receptacles. Incorrect connections may cause electrical shock and damage to the motor.
WARNING
Control Box Safety
DANGER
 ALWAYS have a qualifi ed electrician perform the control
box installation. The possibility exists of electrical shoc or electrocution.
NOTICE
ALWAYS mount control box in a vertical position
protected from harsh environmental elements.
LIFTING SAFETY
CAUTION
 When raising or lowering of the pump is required, always
attach an adequate rope or lifting device to the correct lifting point (handle) on the pump.
NOTICE
 DO NOT lift machine to unnecessary heights.
 NEVER lift the equipment while the electric motor is
running.
TRANSPORTING SAFETY
 NEVER attempt to use the power cord as a lifting or
lowering device for the pump.
NOTICE
ALWAYS make certain that proper power or extension
cord has been selected for the job. See Cable Selection Chart in this manual.
Grounding Safety
DANGER
 ALWAYS make sure pump is grounded.
 NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.
 ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly
grounded to a suitable earth ground (ground rod) per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes before operating generator. Severe injury or death by electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded motor.
NOTICE
 ALWAYS shut down pump before transporting.
 ALWAYS tie down equipment during transport by
securing the equipment with rope.
ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY/DECOMMISSIONINGC
 DO NOT pour waste or oil directly onto
the ground, down a drain or into any water source.
 Contact your country's Department of Public
Works or recycling agency in your area and arrange for proper disposal of any electrical components, waste or oil associated with this equipment.
 When the life cycle of this equipment is over it is
recommended that the pump casing and all other metal parts be sent to a recycling center
Metal recycling involves the collection of metal from discarded products and its transformation into raw materials to use in manufacturing a new product.
Recyclers and manufacturers alike promote the process of recycling metal. Using a metal recycling center
romotes energy cost savings.

1. Motor Rotation – Let pump hang freely from a lifting device. Start and stop pump while observing movement
(kick) of pump. If connected correctly the impeller will rotate clockwise (CW) as viewed from above. If pump rotates counterclockwise interchange any two phases from the power source.
2. Mechanical Seal Oil – Use ISO VG32 lubrication oil, Mobile DTE 24 turbine oil 90 or equivalent. Fill oil chamber 75%
to 85% full (allow air space for expansion).
3. Control Box - For unattended operation, CB12 or CB14 Control Box (Table 3) is required. Control boxes will provide
thermal overload protection.
