position and locked out, or that the pow­
er supply to the control box has been
otherwise cut off and locked out, before
attempting to open or service the pump
assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre­
vent accidental start‐up.
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. Injury or death may
result from alterations.
All electrical connections must be in ac­
cordance with The National Electric
Code and all local codes. If there is a
conflict between the instructions pro­
vided and N.E.C. Specifications, N.E.C.
Specifications shall take precedence.
All electrical equipment supplied with
this pump was in conformance with
N.E.C. requirements in effect on the
date of manufacture. Failure to follow
applicable specifications, or substitu­
tion of electrical parts not supplied or
approved by the manufacturer, can re­
sult in severe injury or death and void
warranty.
After the pump has been installed, make
certain that the pump and all piping or
hose connections are secure before op­
eration.
Obtain the services of a qualified elec­
trician to troubleshoot, test and/or ser­
vice the electrical components of this
pump.
Approach the pump cautiously after it
has been running. Although the motor is
cooled by the liquid being pumped, nor­
mal operating temperatures can be high
enough to cause burns. The tempera­
ture will be especially high if operated
against a closed discharge valve. Never
operate against a closed discharge
valve for long periods of time.
Do not remove plates, covers, gauges,
pipe plugs, or fittings from an over­
heated pump. Vapor pressure within the
pump can cause parts being disen­
gaged to be ejected with great force. Al­
low the pump to completely cool before
servicing.
Do not attempt to lift the pump by the
motor power cable or the piping. Attach
proper lifting equipment to the lifting
device fitted to the pump. If chains or
cable are wrapped around the pump to
lift it, make certain that they are posi­
tioned so as not to damage the pump,
and so that the load will be balanced.
Pumps and related equipment must be
installed and operated according to all na­
tional, local and industry standards.
