All electrical work must be performed by a qualified

technician. Always follow the National Electrical Code (NEC),

or the Canadian Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial

codes. Code questions should be directed to your local electrical inspector.

Failure to follow electrical codes and OSHA safety standards may result

in personal injury or equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s

installation instructions may result in electrical shock, fire hazard, personal

injury or death, damaged equipment, provide unsatisfactory performance,

and may void manufacturer’s warranty.

Standard units are not designed for use in swimming pools,

open bodies of water, hazardous liquids, or where flammable

gases exist. Well must be vented per local codes. See specific pump catalog

bulletins or pump nameplate for all agency Listings.

Disconnect and lockout electrical power before installing or

servicing any electrical equipment. Many pumps are equipped

with automatic thermal overload protection which may allow an overheated

pump to restart unexpectedly.

Never over pressurize the tank, piping or system to a pressure

higher than the tank's maximum pressure rating. This will

damage the tank, voids the warranty and may create a serious hazard.

Protect tanks from excessive moisture and spray as it will cause

the tank to rust and may create a hazard. See tank warning

labels and IOM for more information.
