!
Risk of Electric Shock – Fatal electric shock could occur. Always
disconnect the power source before attempting to install, service,
relocate, or check the pump. Never touch pump, pump motor,
water, or discharge piping when pump is connected to electrical
power. Never enter a wet or flooded area, basement, basin, etc.
that is in contact with the pump or electrical circuit before power
supply has been disconnected.
!
Pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas
or any area that might reasonably expect aquatic, animal, or
human entrance. Precautions should be taken to prevent such
entrance during use.
!
Connect only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
Use of a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required for
maximum safety.
!
All wiring must be performed by qualified electrician in
accordance with all local and national electric code.
!
When power source or supply is turned off (in open position) a
lock and tag out should be used to prevent accidental power
application or activation.
!
Do not use extension cord or cut off grounding pin. Should be
installed on separate 15 AMP circuit breaker.
!

gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, and /or chemicals, salt water, etc.
!
Do not use pump in an explosive atmosphere or classified as
hazardous per NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70.
!
Make sure pump is on hard level bottom in sump, do not set
directly on earth, gravel, or other debris. This could cause
excessive wear or possible jamming and flooding.
!
Make sure pump is secure in basin and piping is firmly supported
so that pump cannot move, not allowing liquid level switch to
interfere with basin wall or other obstacle preventing proper
operation. Flooding or overheating could occur if not prevented.
