Installation and Maintenance:

• The pump must be installed in a dry, ventilated location to prevent motor damage as the motor is not waterproof.
• The pump head can be rotated 180° to reverse the direction of flow as needed.
• Ensure all plumbing connections are airtight to enable quick priming and reliable operation.
• For optimal performance, do not run the pump dry; always ensure that liquid is being pumped to prevent damage to the rotor and vanes.
• Maintain the pump regularly by checking for debris and ensuring all hoses are properly secured to avoid leaks.

Warnings:

• Explosion hazard: Do not pump volatile liquids with a flash point below 100°F (38°C), as this could lead to fire or explosion.
• The pump is designed for intermittent duty – do not operate continuously for more than 30 minutes at a time.
• Always use proper wire sizes and fuses to avoid electrical hazards.
• If the pump is operated in an area with flammable vapors, ensure the wiring is properly insulated to prevent sparks.
