The label
NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are

Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this

1. Read this manual carefully. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
2. Check your local codes before installing. You must
comply with their rules.
3. Vent sewage or septic tank according to local codes.
4. Do not install pump in any location classified as
hazardous by National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
Do not smoke or use electrical devices which could
generate sparks or flame in an atmosphere which could
contain septic (methane) gas.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death.
During operation, the pump is in water.
To avoid fatal shocks, proceed as follows if pump needs
servicing:
5A. Disconnect power to outlet box before unplugging
pump.
5B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. Do not stand
in water or put your finger in fuse socket.
5C. Do not modify cord and plug. Plug into a grounded
outlet only. If the system is not properly grounded or
you are not sure, call a licensed electrician for assis-
tance. Installation and checking of all electrical circuits
and hardware should be performed only by a qualified
licensed electrician.
5D. Make certain that the pump’s power cord will reach
the ground fault interrupter protected receptacle or
control box. Do not use an extension cord with this
system.
5E. Connect this pump to a 15 amp circuit breaker on a
dedicated circuit.
6. Do not run pump dry. Dry running can overheat pump,
(causing burns to anyone handling it) and will void
warranty.
7. Pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns when servic-
ing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shut-
down before handling it.
8. In normal service, motor should not need oiling. Motor
has been filled at the factory with a special oil.
PRE-INSTALLATION
1. Inspect all materials before accepting them. Hidden
damage can occur during shipment. If the unit is found
to be damaged after opening the box, return it to the
dealer from whom you bought it.
2. Before installation or operation carefully read all the
information provided with this product. Familiarize
yourself with specific details regarding installation and
use before attempting the installation.
There is a separate owner’s manual for the system’s pump
(publication 27489A901). Refer to that manual for informa-
tion about operation and maintenance of the pump that is
provided with this system.
NOTE:
This pumping unit is designed to lift sewage up to a
maximum of 15 feet total, including friction loss from pipe
and fittings. Do not use the Add-a-Jon in an installation
requiring that the pump lift sewage more than 15 feet. Note
that as lift increases, flow decreases; the higher the lift, the
longer it will take to pump out the system’s tank.
NOTE: FLOOR SEAL:
Do not use a wax seal having a
flange that extends into the tank; it may cause clogging. If a
floor is installed over the tank, use a floor-flange-extender
seal-kit designed by the toilet manufacturer.
