SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS PRIOR TO USE
***
: Secure chemicals and metering pumps, making them inaccessible to children and pets.
*** DO NOT PUMP FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.
*** To reduce risk of electric shock before maintenance, repair, or moving pump, disconnect power cord and
de-pressurize system and drain chemical.
*** Do not cut the plug or ground lug off the electrical cord. Consult a licensed electrician for proper installation.
**
: 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 rotating parts.
** If pump is exposed to direct sunlight, use a UV 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.
** DO NOT MODIFY PUMP. This poses a potentially dangerous situation and will void the warranty.
*
: All pumps are factory tested with water. Remove tubing and thoroughly dry if the chemical being
pumped will react with water (i.e., sulfuric acid).
* Hand tighten plastic connections (Do not use wrench).
*
Consult licensed plumber and electrician before installation to conform to local codes.
NOTE:
For accurate volume output, pump must be calibrated under all operating conditions.
