INTRODUCTION
ABOUT SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important. And using this
water pump safely is an important responsibility.
To help you to use the water pump safely, we have provided operating
procedures and other information on labels and in this manual. This
information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.
Of course, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining a water pump. You
must use your own good judgment.
You will find important safety information in a variety of forms, including:
•
Safety Labels- on the pump.
•
Safety Messages- preceded by a safety alert symbol
and one of
three signal words, DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION.
These signal words mean:
