Safety Information
PRECAUTIONS
1. Read instructions carefully before attempting
to install,
operate, or service this pump. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential hazards. Protect yourself and
others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply
with instructions could result in personal injury and/or
property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
2. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps.
Restricting the intake may cause damage to the seal and
may starve the pump. If you require reduced flow rates, then
place a valve on the discharge side of the pump. If flexible
vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to
restrict the flow.
3. Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to
be cooled by pumping fluid. You may damage the seal and
the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.
4. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the
cleaning instructions outlined in the Care and Cleaning
section. Do not let the unit freeze in the wintertime. This
may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
DANGER: Keep pump equipment out of the reach of
children! Failure to follow the directions given could cause
