SAFETY - SECTION A
This information applies to SM Series
Submersible motor driven pumps and
control boxes.
Because pump installations are seldom
identical, this manual cannot possibly
provide detailed instructions and pre-
cautions for each specific application.
Therefore, it is the owner/installer’s re-
sponsibility to ensure that applications
not addressed in this manual are per-
formed only after establishing that nei-
ther operator safety nor pump integrity
are compromised by the installation.
Before attempting to open or service the
pump:
1. Familiarize yourself with this man-
ual.
2. Lock out incoming power to the
control box to ensure that the
pump will remain inoperative.
3. Allow the pump to cool if over-
heated.
4. Close the discharge valve (if
used).
The pump is designed to be operated
through the control box furnished with
the pump. The control box provides
overload protection and power control.
Do not connect the pump motor directly
to the incoming power lines.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju-
ry or death. Obtain the services of a qu-
alified electrician to make all electrical
connections. Make certain that the
pump and enclosure are properly
grounded. Be sure the incoming power
matches the voltage and phase of the
pump and control before connecting
the power source. Do not run the pump if
the voltage is not within the limits.
The electrical power used to operate
this pump is high enough to cause inju-
ry or death. Make certain the control
handle on the control box is in the off po-
sition and locked out, or the power sup-
ply to the control box has been other-
wise cut off and locked out, before at-
tempting to open or service the pump
assembly. Tag electrical circuits to pre-
vent accidental start-up.
All electrical connections must be in ac-
cordance with MSHA Schedule 2G. If
there is a conflict between the instruc-
tions provided and MSHA specifica-
tions, MSHA specifications shall take
precedence. All electrical equipment
supplied with this pump was in confor-
mance with MSHA requirements in ef-
fect on the date of manufacture. Failure
to follow applicable specifications, or
substitution of electrical parts not
supplied or approved by the manufac-
turer, can result in severe injury or
death.
This pump is not designed to pump vol-
atile, explosive, or flammable materials.
