GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION (CONT’D)
Disconnect power before servicing. If the power
disconnect is out of sight, lock in the open (OFF) position and tag it to
prevent unexpected application of power. Failure to do so COULD result
in fatal electrical shock!
Débrancher l’alimentation avant de procéder
à l’entretien. Si la source de courant n’est pas visible, verrouiller en
position ouverte (OFF) et étiqueter pour éviter tout rétablissement
inattendu de l’électricité. Ne pas suivre ces instructions POURRAIT
mener à une décharge électrique mortelle.
4. Release all pressure within the system before ser vic ing any
component.
5. Drain all liquids from the system before servicing.
6. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly caus ing personal injury and/or
property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak and worn condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are secure, and open ended.
8. Periodically inspect the pump and system com po nents. Perform
routine maintenance as required (See Main te nance Section, on
page 3).
This pump is not designed to handle salt water,
brine, laundry discharge, water softner, sewage, grey water, or any
other application which may contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign
materials. Pump and/or property damage could occur if used in these
applications and will void warranty.
This equipment is only for use on 120 volt
(single-phase) and is equipped with an ap proved 3-conduc tor cord and
3-prong, grounding-type plug.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, the motor must be securely and
adequately grounded. This can be ac com plished by inserting pump
power cord plug directly into a properly installed and grounded
3-prong (GFCI), ground ing-type re cep ta cle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is en coun tered, it must be re-
placed with a properly grounded 3-prong (GFCI) re cep ta cle installed
in accordance with the NEC and local codes and ordinances.
2. Protect electrical cord from sharp ob jects, hot sur fac es, oil, and
chemicals. Do not operate with damaged cord.
3. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
If your basement or room has water or moisture
on the floor, do NOT walk on wet area until all power has been turned
off. If the shut-off box is in the basement, call the electric company
to shut-off service to the house, or call your local fire department for
instruction. Failure to follow this warning WILL result in fatal electrical
shock.
Si le sous-sol ou la pièce a de l’eau ou de
l’humidité sur le plancher, ne PAS marcher aux endroits mouillés
avant que le courant ne soit coupé. Si le boîtier de coupure de courant
se trouve au sous-sol, appeler la société d’électricité pour couper le
courant de la maison, ou encore appeler le service d’incendie local pour
des instructions. Le non-respect de cet avertissement ENTRAÎNERA un
choc électrique mortel.
