WATER PUMP SAFETY
1. The pump is equipped with a grounding-type
attachment plug. Be sure to connect the plug to a
proper grounding-type receptacle to reduce the risk
of electric shock.
2. Never handle the pump by the cord, with wet hands
or when standing on a wet surface.
3. Do not use the pump to pump anything other than
w
ater, or other compatible liquids. Never use to pump
gasoline, kerosene, or other combustible or corrosive
liquids.
4. Should pump fail, always disconnect from power
s
ource before handling the pump or attempting to
unclog or service pump in any way.
5. Never let the pump operate dry. It is self-cooled by
pumping liquid. Dry use will cause pump damage
and may cause the motor to fail.
