having 3 leg overload protection in accordance
with the NEC (National Electric Code). For
duplex installations, both pump motors must
have separate overload protection.

breathing device may be required. Never enter
the basin unless cover is open and outside
blower is used to force fresh air into the basin.
Also the worker in the basin must wear a
harness attached to the surface so he can be
pulled out in case of asphyxiation.
NEVER WORK ALONE!
