SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using chemical feed pumps, basic safety precau-
tions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire,
electric shock, and personal injury. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in death or serious injury.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
***
: Secure chemicals & metering pumps, making them inaccessible to children & pets.
***
DO NOT PUMP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
*** Do not cut the plug or ground lug off the electrical cord. Consult a licensed electrician for proper installation
or replacement.
**
: Always wear protective clothing, including gloves and safety glasses, when working on or near
chemical metering pumps.
** Inspect tubing regularly for cracking or deterioration and replace as necessary.
(Always wear protective
clothing and safety glasses when inspecting tubing.)
** Use
CAUTION to keep fingers away from rotatiing parts.
** If pump is exposed to direct sunlight, use a U.V. resistant tubing.
** Follow directions and warnings provided from the chemical manufacturer. The user is responsible for
determining the chemical compatibility with the chemical feed pump.
** Make sure the voltage on the pump name tag matches the installation voltage. If pump fails to start, check line
voltage.
** Consult with local health officials and/or qualified water conditioning specialists when treating potable water.
** Always depressurize system prior to installation or disconnecting the metering pump tubing.
** If injection point is lower than the chemical tank and pump, install an anti-siphon valve.

: All pumps are factory tested with water. Remove tubing and thoroughly dry if the chemical
being pumped will react with water (for example sulfuric acid).

Hand tighten plastic connections
(Do not use wrench).

Consult licensed plumber and electrician before installation to conform to local codes.
