Electric Motor Driven Pumps
Allow only qualified personnel
to INSTALL, WIRE and
OPERATE
electric motor driven pumps. Whenever
electricity is present there is the possibility of
electrocution
.
NEVER
use a pump/motor in an explosive atmosphere
if it is not exclusively designed for the application.
Always
ground electrical units.
Make certain
to connect pump motor to the right phase
and voltage.
Do not
run pump if voltage is not within limits.
Make sure motor rotation
is in accordance with
impeller rotation (which should be indicated somewhere
on the pump — check the manufacturer’s manual).
Make all electrical installations
in accordance with
National Electric Code, State and Local electrical codes.
Never use gas piping
as an electrical ground.
Make sure
the related electrical circuits are dead and
locked out before performing any maintenance.
Follow
motor manufacturer’s recommended
maintenance and operation instructions.
If circuit breaker or fuse is tripped,
examine the
system for the problem before restarting pump.
NEVER
use the power cord to aid lifting the pump.
NEVER
operate a pump with a plug-in type power cord
without a ground fault circuit interrupter.
NEVER
use cords with frayed, cut or brittle insulation.
Check the cord on the pump for nicks in the insulation
and for sound connections to the ground fault
interrupter plug and motor.
NEVER
let extension cords or the plug connections lay
in water. Locate the pump so that the cord cannot fall
into any water or be submerged by rising water, unless
the pump is designed for such use.
NEVER
handle energized power cords with wet hands.
MOTOR OVERLOAD:
do not exceed the manufacturer’s
recommendation for maximum lift or discharge head.
See manufacturer’s published curve for proper sizing of
motors. A misapplied motor can overheat.

Submersibles
Allow only qualified personnel
to INSTALL, WIRE and
OPERATE
submersible pumps.
Whenever electricity is present there is the possibility of
electrocution
.
NEVER
use a pump/motor in an explosive atmosphere,
if it is not exclusively designed for that application.
ALWAYS
ground the pump.
Make certain to connect the pump to the right
phase and voltage.
DO NOT
run the pump if voltage is not within limits.
Make all electrical installations
in accordance with
National Electric Code, State and Local electrical
codes.
Mount electrical control box
in a vertical position,
protected from the elements.
NEVER
use the power cord
or hydraulic hoses to lift or
lower submersibles. Attach
a lifting cable to the
manufacturer’s
recommended attachment
point on the pump for
lowering and lifting the
pump.
NEVER
position the pump directly on a sift, loose bot-
tom. To attain maximum capacity and prevent exces-
sive wear, position the pump so it will not burrow itself
into sand or clay. Stand the pump on a plank, a bed of
coarse gravel, within a perforated container, on a suit-
able floatation device, or retain it hanging freely by a
lifting cable.
Operate Safely
