These instructions are a guide only. Users not familiar with pump­ing equipment should seek advice from people experienced in
pump equipment and installation.

The pump operator or owner must be provided with this owner’s
manual. This must be read before operation, and followed during
operation.

Freezing conditions will damage the unit, as ice expands as it
freezes. Ensure that VF150 is located so that it is not prone to
freezing, or ensure that the product is disconnected and dried of
water during cold conditions.

VF150 is electrically connected. Ensure that it is isolated from
electrical supply during installation and any subsequent service
work.

VF150 is designed to be used with clean rain water in a residential
application. Do not use it with alternative  uids, speci cally abra-
sive, corrosive or explosive  uids. Do not install or operate your
VF150 in an explosive enviroment or near combustible matter.

Do not run the VF150 dry, or with the motor exposed (i.e. out of
the water) for long periods. This will harm the pumps seal, and
overheat the motor.
