SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before Getting Started
This equipment should be installed and serviced by technically
qualified personnel who are familiar with the correct selection
and use of appropriate tools, equipment, and procedures. Failure
to comply with national and local electrical and plumbing codes
and within Red Lion recommendations may result in electrical
shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment
failure.
Read and follow instructions carefully to avoid injury and prop-
erty damage. Do not disassemble or repair unit unless described
in this manual.
Failure to follow installation or operation procedures and all
applicable codes may result in the following hazards:
Risk of death, personal injury, or
property damage due to explosion, fire,
or electric shock.
•
Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as
classified by the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70.
•
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water until the unit is
unplugged or electrically disconnected.
•
Do not submerge motor or mount system in a location where
motor or control device will come in contact with water. This
pump is not designed for use in showers, hot tubs, spas or other
potentially wet locations.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
•
This equipment must not be used by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in expe-
rience and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children
may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or
in the immediate vicinity.
•
Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump
power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing
the pump or control.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and
operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and
operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future

High voltages and system pressure
capable of causing severe injury or death
are present in this unit.
•
To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before work-
ing on or around the system. More than one disconnect switch
may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
•
Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with
a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device.
•
This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the third
prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to
help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
•
Terminal cover must be in place to reduce shock hazard.
•
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump
should only be used with liquids compatible with pump compo-
nent materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible
with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the
electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
•
Booster pumps can produce significant water pressure within a
plumbing system. This could cause damage to pipes and/or fix-
tures. To prevent personal or property damage, install a pressure
regulator and a pressure relief valve capable of conveying the
entire water volume to a drain.
•
Do not remove priming plug, casing, or suction or discharge fit-
tings when pump is hot. Hot water and/or vapor inside could be
pressurized and could cause severe burns.
•
Release all pressure within the system and drain all liquids
before servicing pump. Refer to
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
•
Periodically inspect pump and system components. Regularly
check piping for weakness or wear, making certain that all con-
nections are secure.
•
Schedule and perform routine maintenance as required. Refer to
