• WARNING:

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - THIS PUMP IS SUPPLIED WITH A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR AND

GROUNDING-TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE CERTAIN

THAT IT IS CONNECTED ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED, GROUNDING TYPE RECEPTACLE.

Electrical Safety

• Electrical wiring should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all

applicable safety regulations. Incorrect wiring can lead to a pump malfunction, electrical

shock or fire.

• Pumps should operate on a designated, 110/120 volt circuit.

• Pump must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

• Pump must be plugged into a standard, properly grounded, three pronged outlet.

• Do not lift, lower or handle the pump by pulling on the electrical cord. Make sure the

electrical cable does not become excessively bent or twisted and does not rub against a

structure in a way that might damage it. (Figure 1)

• Always disconnect the power supply before doing any maintenance or placing your hands

into the water to which this pump is immersed. (Figure 2)

• The submersible pump should not be used if the electrical supply cable is damaged in

any way. If a cable with damaged insulation is submerged in water, there is danger of

water seeping into the pump motor and causing a short. The electrical cable cannot be

replaced. If the cord is damaged, the pump should be discarded. Altering the electrical

cable in any way will void the warranty. (Figure 3)

ATTENTION

Figure 1

• Fountain Series pumps are for use in water only. Water temperature should never exceed

95˚ F (35˚ C).

• Fountain Series pumps must not be used to pump salt water, sewage, flammable or

corrosive liquids, greases, oils or food waste.

• Pay careful attention to the water level while the pump is operating. The pump must be fully

submersed at all times of operation.

• Repeating cycles of stopping and restarting will damage the water pump. Do not continue

operation at low water level or while the inlet is clogged with debris. Not only will performance

suffer, but such conditions may also cause noise, heavy vibration, and pump failure.

Make sure the pump is fully submerged during operation.

Do not operate the pump without water. If run dry, the pump

should be turned off immediately and checked.
