DO NOT:
- Run the pump dry.
- Attempt electrical repairs, unless qualied to do so.
- Run the pump with the motor fully exposed for long periods.
- Install the pump on soft or loose ground.
- Operate the pump if the inlet is submersed by sand or debris.
- Lift or carry the pump by the power cable.
- The pump can only be used for pumping water. Do not use for pumping liquids such as oil, sea-water or organic
solvents.
- Do not run the pump in explosive or re hazardous surroundings or for pumping explosive liquids.
- Do not run the pump when the pump is partially or completely dismantled.
Other than KZ or KZN models, these pumps are not a sand or slurry pumps. They are not designed to pump hard
solids (eg stones) nor uids containing excessive amounts of abrasive materials. In any case, any solids pumped
will eventually lead to wear of components.
