■ This equipment should not be operated by persons under 18 years of age.

■ NEVER operate this equipment without proper protective clothing, shatterproof glasses, steel-toed boots and other protective devices required by the job.

■ NEVER operate this equipment when not feeling well due to fatigue, illness or taking medicine.

■ NEVER operate this equipment under the influence or drugs or alcohol.

■ NEVER use accessories or attachments, which are not recommended by Multiquip for this equipment. Damage to the equipment and/or injury to user may result.

■ Manufacture does not assume responsibility for any accident due to equipment modifications.

■ Whenever necessary, replace nameplate, operation and safety decals when they become difficult read.

■ ALWAYS check the machine for loosened threads or bolts before starting.

■ NEVER operate the submersible pump in an explosive atmosphere or near combustible materials. An explosion or fire could result causing severe bodily harm or even death.

■ ALWAYS make sure submersible pump is grounded.

■ NEVER use gas piping as an electrical ground.

■ DO NOT place hands or fingers inside pump when pump is running.

■ ALWAYS make certain that the voltage supplied to the pump is correct. Always read the pump's nameplate to determine what the power requirements are. The ST2037, ST2047, ST2038P, and ST2040T submersible pumps require 115 VAC, 60 Hz (single-phase) for normal operation.

■ DO NOT restrict the flow of the discharge hose as it may cause overheating.

■ Be careful of discharge whipping under pressure.

■ Make sure pump installation is accordance with national and local electrical codes.

■ ALWAYS have a qualified electrician perform the pump wiring installation.

■ ALWAYS mount the control box in a vertical position protected from the elements.

■ NEVER handle pump's AC power cord with wet hands.

■ NEVER let an extension cord or plug connection lay in water.

■ NEVER stand in water while AC power cord is connected to a power source.

■ NEVER use a pump with a defective, frayed power cord. Check the power cord on the pump for cuts in the insulation.

■ NEVER use a extension cord that is frayed or damaged where the insulation has been cut.

■ ALWAYS make certain that proper extension cord has been selected for the job See Table 4.

■ NEVER attempt to use the power cord as a lifting or lowering device for the submersible pump.

■ When raising or lowering of the submersible pump is required, always attach an adequate rope or lifting device to the correct lifting point (handle) on the pump.

■ ALWAYS place the pump in an upright position on a platform before using. The platform will prevent the pump from burrowing itself on soft sand or mud.

■ NEVER operate pump on its side.

■ DO NOT allow the pump to freeze in water.

■ NEVER leave an open pump chamber unattended.

■ The electrical voltage required to operate the pump can cause severe injury or even death through physical contact with live circuits. ALWAYS disconnect the electrical power from the pump before performing maintenance on the pump.

■ ALWAYS make sure that electrical circuits are properly grounded per the National Electrical Code (NEC) and local codes before operating pump. Severe injury or death by electrocution can result from operating an ungrounded
pump.

WARNING- Risk of Electric Shock

Risk of Electric Shock - This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug.
