General Safety Information

Before installation, read the following
instructions carefully. Failure to follow
instruction and Safety information could
cause serious bodily injury, death and/or
property damage. Each Power-Flo pump is
individually factory tested to insure proper
performance. Closely following these
instructions will eliminate potential operating
problems, assuring years of trouble-free
service.

IMPORTANT - Power-Flo Pumps and

Systems is not responsible for losses, injury
or death resulting from failure to observe
these safety precautions, misuse, abuse or
misapplication of pumps or equipment.

Do not pump
ammable or explosive
liquids such as oil,
gasoline, kerosene,
ethanol, etc. Do not

use in the presence
of ammable or explosive vapors. Using
this pump with or near ammable liquids
can cause an explosion or re, resulting in
property damage, serious personal injury,
and/or death.

ALWAYS disconnect
the power to the pump

before servicing.

Release all pressure and

drain all water from the
system before servicing any component.

Do not touch the

motor housing during

operation. The motor is designed
to operate at high temperatures.
Do not disassemble the motor
housing.

Do not handle the

pump or pump motor

with wet hands or when standing
on a wet or damp surface, or in
water before disconnect the power.

Secure the discharge

line before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip,
possibly causing personal injury, and/or
property damage.

Extension cords may

not deliver sucient

voltage to the pump motor.
Extension cords present a life

threatening safety hazard if
the insulation becomes damaged or the
connection ends fall into water. The use of
an extension cord to power this pump is not
permitted.

Wear safety goggles at

all times when

working with pumps.

This unit is designed

only for use on 115
volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped
with an approved 3-conductor cord and
3-prong grounded plug. Do not remove the
ground pin under any circumstances. The
3-prong plug must be directly inserted into
a properly installed and grounded 3-prong,
grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this
pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace
the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded
3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed
in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes and ordinances. All
wiring should be performed by a qualied
electrician.

Protect the electrical

cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or
worn cords.

Failure to comply with

the instruction and
designed operation of this unit may void the
warranty. ATTEMPTING TO USE A DAMAGED
PUMP can result in property damage, serious
personal injury, and/or death.

Ensure that the

electrical circuit to
the pump is protected by a 10 Amp fuse or
circuit breaker.

Do not lift the pump
by the power cord.

Know the pump and its
applications,

limitations, and potential hazards.

IMPORTANT ! - Secure the pump to a solid
base. This will aid in keeping the pump in a
vertical orientation. This is critical in keeping
the pump operating at maximum eciency.
It will also help prevent the pump from
clogging resulting in premature failure.

IMPORTANT ! - Periodically inspect the pump
and system components to ensure the pump
suction screen is free of mud, sand, and
debris. Disconnect the pump from the power
supply before inspecting.

Follow all local

electrical and safety
codes, along with the National Electrical Code
(NEC). In addition, all Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines
must be followed.

The motor of this pump

has a thermal protector
that will trip if the motor becomes too hot.
The protector will reset itself once the motor
cools down and an acceptable temperature
has been reached. The pump may start
unexpectedly if it is plugged in.

Ensure the electrical
power source is

adequate for the requirements of the pump.

Before using the pump,

check the hose for
holes or excess wear, which could cause
leaks, and ensure the hose is not kinked or
making sharp angles. A straight hose allows
the pump to move the greatest amount of
water quickly, and also check that all hose
connections are tight to minimize leaks.

IMPORTANT ! - This pump is made of high­strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will
provide trouble-free service for a long time
when properly installed, maintained, and used.
However, inadequate electrical power to the
pump, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to
fail.
