SAFETY INFORMATIONTABLE OF CONTENTS

DANGER

ELECTRICAL SHOCk HAZARD.

Always disconnect power source before performing any work on or near the motor or its connected load. If the power disconnect point is out-of-sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk HAZARD.

Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing in water as fatal electrical shock could occur. Disconnect main power before handling unit for ANY REASON!

RISk OF ELECTRIC SHOCk.

These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately. Never use an extension cord.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Do not kink power cable and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces, or chemicals.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Wire motor to correct supply voltage. See motor nameplate and wiring diagrams and check voltage of power supply.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Unit must be securely and adequately electrically grounded. This can be accomplished by wiring the unit to a ground metal-clad raceway system or by using a separate ground wire connected to the bare metal of the motor frame or other suitable means.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has no repairable internal parts and disassembling may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.

ELECTRICAL SHOCk ALERT.

Never use an extension cord with this pump.

CHEMICAL ALERT.

This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE ALERT.

Install pressure relief valve in discharge pipe. Release all pressure on system before working on any component.

ExPLOSION ALERT

Do not use to pump ammable or explosive uids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in ammable and/or explosive atmospheres.

Drive Point

IL1472

Ventilation - Ventilation and drainage must be provided to prevent damage to the motor from heat and moisture. Freezing - Pump and all piping must be protected from freezing. If freezing weather is forecast, drain pump or remove completely from the system. Water Supply - The water source must be able to supply enough water to satisfy the capacity of pump and water needs. See performance chart on page 2. Suction Lift - Suction lift is the vertical distance from the lowest level of the water to the pump intake. Pump will move water as long as it is within 25 vertical ft. of the water source. Horizontal Distance - The horizontal distance is the horizontal measurement between pump suction and the water source. This distance may affect the ability of pump to operate. If it is more than 100 ft., call the manufacturer for assistance: 1-800-742-5044.
