IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Pump parts, and the tools and lifting equipment used
in installation are heavy and may easily cause
personal injury if dropped or carelessly handled. The
normal precautions and safety rules associated with
the installation or repair of machinery, in regard to
manual
lifting,
use
of
power
equipment,
and
handling
of
tools,
must
be
observed
in
the
installation of this pump.
Petroleum-base cleaning solvents are flammable.
Smoking by personnel, open flame, or other activity
which could ignite vapors in the vicinity of these
solvents is extremely hazardous and must not be
permitted.
Do not work under a suspended object unless there
is a positive support under it to stop its fall in event
of sling or hoist failure. Disregard of this warning
could result in grave personal injury.
Never attempt to lift, lower or raise the sump pump
by the motor power cord. Always use a sling or wire
rope, secured only to pedestal, and a hoist to lower
or raise pump.
Before attempting hook-up, handling, or repair of
electrical wiring, be certain that the electrical supply
source is shut off. An electrical shock from contact
with live wires or cords can be fatal.
Be sure the voltage and frequency indicated on motor
nameplate are the same as service provided. If the
motor has been wired at the factory, note the voltage
caution card. If available service is other than that
indicated, consult motor manufacturer’s instructions
for proper wiring changes.
Do not cut, splice, or damage the power cord. Do not
carry or suspend the pump by the power cord. A live
damaged or open power cord can deliver a fatal
electrical shock.
Due to automatic switch operation of sump pumps,
tie the main disconnect switch open or remove fuses
from main lines before attempting lubrication,
mechanical and electrical examinations, or repairs.
Attach a card “DO NOT CLOSE SWITCH – PUMP
REPAIR IN PROGRESS.” Disregard of this warning
may result in serious personal injury or death.
Never spin ball bearings. Spinning a dry ball bearing
can cause damage. Spinning any ball bearing by an
air blast can cause bearing to fly apart resulting in
possible fatal injury.
Refer motor to a repair shop authorized by the motor
manufacturer for repairs. It is not recommended that
user attempt to make repairs on this type motor
under any circumstances. Attempt to repair motor by
unauthorized personnel voids manufacturer’s war-
ranty.
