Safety Information (continued)
WARNING: Support the pump and piping when
assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause
the piping t
o break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
WARNING: This pump’s motor housing is filled with a
diel
ectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication
of the bea
rings. This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life.
H
owever, suffocation can occur if oil is left on the water
surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can be removed
from the surfac
e quickly by placing newspapers on the
water surfac
e to soak up the oil.
WARNING: The pump motor is equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly. P
rotector tripping is an indication of the
motor ov
erloading as a result of excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or
a defective m
otor or pump.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Chec
k the pump label for proper voltage
requi
red. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
WARNING: If pump is suppli
ed with a 3-prong electrical
plug, the thir
d prong is to ground the pump to prevent
possibl
e electrical shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third
prong from the plug. A separate branch circuit is
rec
ommended. Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut the
plug from the cor
d. If the plug is cut or the cord is
shortened, then this action will void the warranty.
WARNING: If the cord is
equipped with stripped lead
wires, such as on
230v models, be sure that the lead wires
are connected to a power source correctly. The
(green
/yellow) wire is the ground. The (blue or white) and
(brown or b
lack) are live.
WARNING: Check local electrical and building codes
before installation. The installation must be in accordance
with their re
gulations as well as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC).
WARNING: To c
onform to the National Electrical Code all
pumps must be
wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs
to 250 ft., 14 AW
G wire is sufficient. For longer runs consult
a qualified electrician or the factory.
WARNING: The pump should b
e connected or wired to its
own circuit with no other outl
ets or equipment in the circuit
line.
Fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample capacity
in the electrical circuit.
WARNING: The flexib
le PVC jacketed cord assembly
mounted to the
pump must not be modified in any way, with
the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control
panel. Any sp
lice between the pump and the control panel
must be made wi
thin a junction box and mounted outside of
the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.
