This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL.  

When you see this symbol on the pump 

or in the manual, look for one of the fol-

lowing signal words and be alert to the 

potential for personal injury or property 

damage.
Warns of hazards that WILL cause 

serious personal injury, death or major 

property damage.
Warns of hazards that CAN cause 

serious personal injury, death or major 

property damage.
Warns of hazards that CAN cause per-

sonal injury or property damage.

NOTICE: INDICATES SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS  

 

 WHICH ARE VERY IMPORTANT AND  

 

 MUST BE FOLLOWED.

   

NOTICE: INSPECT UNIT FOR DAMAGE AND  

 

REPORT ALL DAMAGE TO THE CARRIER  

 

OR DEALER IMMEDIATELY.

1. Inspect unit for damage. Report damage to carrier  

immediately.

2. Electrical supply must be a separate branch circuit 

with fuses or circuit breakers, wire sizes, etc., per 

National and Local electrical codes. Install an all-leg 

disconnect switch near pump. 

WARNING

CAUTION

Hazardous fluids

can cause fire,

burns or death.

3. Motors must be wired for proper voltage (check 

nameplate). Wire size must limit maximum voltage 

drop to 0% of nameplate voltage at motor terminals, 

or motor life and pump performance will be lowered.

4. Single-Phase: Thermal protection for single-phase units 

is sometimes built-in (Check nameplate). If no built-in 

protection is provided, use a contactor with proper 

overload. Fusing is permissible if properly fused.

5. Three-Phase: Provide three-leg protection with proper 

size magnetic starter and thermal overloads.

6. Maximum Liquid Temperatures:

  ºF (00ºC) with standard seal.

  50ºF (0ºC) with optional high-temperature seal.
7. Maximum allowable operating pressure: 30 PSI  

(5 bars).

8. Maximum number of starts per hour: 0, evenly  

distributed.

9. Regular Inspection and Maintenance will increase  

 service life. Base schedule on operating time.

1.  Close-coupled units may be installed inclined or vertical. 

2. Locate pump as near liquid source as possible (below  

level of liquid for automatic operation).

3. Protect from freezing or floods.
4. Allow adequate space for servicing and ventilation.
5. For close-coupled pumps, the foundation must be flat  

and substantial to eliminate strain when tightening  

bolts. Use rubber mounts to minimize noise and  

vibration. Tighten motor hold-down bolts before  

connecting piping to pump.

6. For frame-mounted pumps, permanent and solid  

foundation is required for smooth operation. Bedplate  

must be grouted to a foundation with solid footing.

7. Place unit in position on wedges located at four points  

(Two below approximate center of driver and two  

below approximate center of pump). Adjust wedges to  

level unit, bringing coupling halves into reasonable  

alignment. Level or plumb suction and discharge  

flanges.

8. Make sure bedplate is not distorted and final coupling  

alignment can be made within the limits of movement  

of motor and by shimming if necessary.

9. Tighten foundation bolts finger tight and build dam  

around foundation. Pour grout under bedplate making  

sure the areas under pump and motor feet are filled  

solid. Allow grout to harden 48 hours before further  

tightening foundation bolts.

10. All piping must be supported independently of the 

pump, and must “line-up” naturally. Never draw 

11. Angular alignment of the flanges can best be accom-

plished using calipers at bolt locations (See illustra-

tion).

Hazardous voltage

can shock, burn or

cause death.
