SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to the SE Se-
ries Handy-Sub
T submersible electric
motor driven pump.
Do not operate this pump where explo-
sive vapors or flammable material exist.
Death or serious injury will result.
Check the National Electric Code
(N.E.C.) and local codes before using.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man-
ual.
2. Switch off the pump and discon-
nect the power cables from the ve-
hicle battery to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to cool if over-
heated.
This pump is designed to handle dirty
water that does not contain large en-
trained solids. It is not designed to
pump volatile, flammable or corrosive
materials. Do not attempt to pump any
liquids which may damage the pump or
endanger personnel as a result of pump
failure.
Do not allow the pump and vehicle to
come into contact when connecting the
power cable to the battery. If the pump
should develop an internal short to the
casing, electrical shock could occur,
causing severe injury or death to per-
sonnel.
Always make sure the switch on the
power cables is in the OFF position be-
fore connecting the leads to the vehicle
battery. Failure to do so could cause
arcing, resulting in explosion or fire.
Never attempt to alter the length or re-
pair any power cable with a splice. The
pump motor and cable must be com-
pletely waterproof. Damage to the pump
or personal injury may result from alter-
ations.
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or
hose connections are secure before op-
eration.
Do not attempt to lift the pump by the
power cables, carry handle or piping.
Attach proper lifting equipment to the
lifting eye fitted to the pump.
Obtain the services of a qualified elec-
trician to troubleshoot, test and/or ser-
vice the electrical components of this
pump.
