Installation and Maintenance:

• The pump must be mounted in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent damage to the motor, which is not waterproof.
• Ensure that all suction lines are airtight to allow for proper priming and to avoid loss of suction.
• Do not run the pump dry; always ensure that liquid is being pumped to prevent damage to the impeller.
• If the pump is idle for extended periods, remove the end cover and lubricate the impeller to prevent it from sticking.
• For winter storage, drain the pump to prevent freezing and impeller damage.
• A spare impeller or service kit should be kept on hand to ensure smooth operation in case of wear and tear.

Warnings:

• Explosion hazard: Never use this pump to pump gasoline, solvents, thinners, or other flammable liquids.
• Do not operate the pump with the motor submerged in water or liquids.
• Use proper wire sizes and fuse ratings to avoid electrical hazards and potential damage to the motor.
• If the pump is operated in an area containing flammable vapors, ensure that the wire connections are insulated and secure.
