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.
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
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
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).
