General Safety Information
(Continued)

GENERAL SAfEty
1. Know the pump application,

limitations, and po ten tial hazards.

Do not

use to

pump flammable or
explosive fluids such
as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not
use in a flammable and/or explosive
atmosphere. Personal injury and/or
property damage could result.

2. Make certain that the power source

(electric motor) conforms to the
requirements of the equipment.

Disconnect power before
servicing. If the power dis­
con nect is out of sight, lock
in the open po si tion and tag
it to prevent unexpected application of
power. Failure to do so could result in
fatal electrical shock!

3. Release all pressure within the

system before ser vic ing any
component.

4. Drain all liquids from the system

before servicing.

5. Secure the discharge line before

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

6. Check hoses for weak and worn

condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are
secure.

7. Periodically inspect the pump and

system com po nents. Perform routine
maintenance as required (See
Maintenance Section).

8. Provide a means of pressure relief for

pumps whose discharge line can be
shut-off or obstructed.

9. Personal Safety:

a. Wear safety glasses at all times

when working with pumps.

b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered

and properly lighted; replace all
unused tools and equipment.

c. Keep visitors a safe distance from

the work area. Make workshop
child-proof with pad locks, master
switch es, and by re mov ing starter
keys.

10. When wiring an elec tri cal ly driven

pump such as this, fol low all electrical
and safety codes, as well as the most
recent National Electrical Code (NEC)
and the Oc cu pa tion al Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).

Risk of

electric

shock! Never connect the
green (or green and yellow)
wire to a live terminal!

11. This equipment is only for use on

120 volt (single-phase) and is
equipped with an ap proved 3-con-
duc tor cord and 3-prong, grounding-
type plug as shown in Fig ure 1.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
motor must be securely and adequately
grounded. This can be ac com plished by
the following:

1. Inserting plug directly into a

properly installed and grounded
3-prong, grounding-type re ceptacle
(as shown in Figure 1).

2. Permanently wiring the unit with a

grounded, metal raceway system.

3. Other suitable means.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong re cep ta cle
installed in accordance with the NEC
and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a

qualified elec tri cian.

13. It is strongly recommended that this

unit is plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Con sult a
local electrician for installation and
availability.
