Safety Precautions
WARNING: READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING AND OPERATING THIS UNIT . FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE
PRECAUTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH .
WARNING: Magnetic field hazard: This pump contains powerful magnets . Exposed magnets (pump not connected to motor) produce
powerful magnetic fields . Individuals with cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, other electronic medical devices, metallic pros-
thetic heart valves, internal wound clips (from surgery), metallic prosthetic devices or sickle cell anemia must not handle or be in the proxim-
ity of the magnets contained inside the pump . Consult a health care provider for specific recommendations before working with this pump .
WARNING: Magnetic force hazard . This pump should only be disassembled and assembled using the recommended procedures .
The magnetic attraction is powerful enough to rapidly pull the motor end and the wet end together . Do not place fingers between
the mating surfaces of the motor and wet ends to avoid injuries . Keep the drive magnet and impeller assembly away from metal
chips or particles, items with magnetic stripes like credit cards and magnetic computer media such as floppy discs and hard drives .
WARNING: Hot surfaces . This pump is capable of handling liquids with temperatures as high as 220º F (104º C) . This may
cause the outer areas of the pump to become hot as well and could cause burns .
WARNING: Rotating Parts . This pump has components that rotate while in operation . Follow local safety standards for locking
out the motor from the power supply during maintenance or service .
WARNING: Chemical Hazard . This pump is used for transferring many types of potentially dangerous chemicals . Always wear
protective clothing, eye protection and follow standard safety procedures when handling corrosive or personally harmful materials .
Proper procedures should be followed for draining and decontaminating the pump before disassembly and inspection of the pump .
There may be small quantities of chemicals present during inspection .
WARNING: The pump and associated components are heavy . Failure to properly support the pump during lifting and movement
could result in serious injury or damage to the pump and components .
WARNING: Never run pump at less than minimum flow or with the discharge valve closed . This could lead to pump failure .
