Do not use an extension cord to power the product. Extension 

cords can overload both the product and extension cord 

supply wires. Overloaded wires will get very hot and can catch 

on fire.

This product requires a separate, properly fused and 

grounded branch circuit, sized for the voltage and amperage 

requirements of the pump, as noted on the nameplate. 

Overloaded branch circuit wires will get very hot and can 

catch on fire. When used, electrical outlets shall be simplex of 

the appropriate rating.

For cord replacement: power cord must be of the same length 

and type as originally installed on the Liberty Pumps product. 

Use of incorrect cord may lead to exceeding the electrical 

rating of the cord and could result in death, serious injury, or 

other significant failure.

Do not use this product with or near flammable or explosive 

fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. If rotating 

elements inside pump strike any foreign object, sparks may 

occur. Sparks could ignite flammable liquids.

Sewage and effluent systems produce and may contain 

flammable and explosive gases. Prevent introduction of 

foreign objects into basin as sparks could ignite these gases. 

Exercise caution using tools and do not use electronic devices 

or have live, exposed electrical circuits in or around basins, 

open covers and vents.

These pumps are not to be installed in locations classified as 

hazardous in accordance with the National Electric Code

®

ANSI/NFPA 70.

Energizing the control panel or breaker for the first time is 

potentially dangerous. Licensed electrical personnel should 

be present when the panel or breaker is energized for the first 

time. If faults caused by damage or poor installation practices 

have not been detected, serious damage, injury or death can 

result when power is applied.

Do not modify the pump/pump system in any way. 

Modifications may affect seals, change the electrical loading 

of the pump, or damage the pump and its components.

All pump/pump system installations shall be in compliance 

with all applicable Federal, State, and Local codes and 

ordinances.

Do not allow children to play with the pump system.

Do not allow any person who is unqualified to have contact 

with this pump system. Any person who is unaware of the 

dangers of this pump system, or has not read this manual, can 

easily be injured by the pump system.

In 208/230V installations, one side of the line going to the 

pump is always “hot”, whether the float switch is on or off. To 

avoid hazards, install a double pole disconnect near the pump 

installation.

Vent basin in accordance with local code. Proper venting of 

sewer and effluent gases alleviates poisonous gas buildup 

and reduces the risk of explosion and fire from these 

flammable gases.

Wear adequate Personal Protective Equipment when working 

on pumps or piping that have been exposed to wastewater. 

Sump and sewage pumps often handle materials that can 

transmit illness or disease upon contact with skin and other 

tissues.

Do not enter a pump basin after it has been used. Sewage and 

effluent can emit several gases that are poisonous.

Do not remove any tags or labels from the pump or its cord.

Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. To prevent 

injury, never insert fingers into pump while it is connected to 

a power source.

Do not use this product with flammable, explosive, or 

corrosive fluids. Do not use in a flammable and/or explosive 

atmosphere as serious injury or death could result.

This product contains chemicals known to the State of 

California to cause cancer and birth defects or other 

reproductive harm. www.p65warnings.ca.gov.

A grinder pump contains metal parts that rotate at high 

speeds. Be careful around pump base while power is 

connected. Make sure that the pump is either in the tank or 

clear from people and wires when in operation.

Wear Personal Protective Equipment to protect hands as 

cutter blades have extremely sharp edges and present a 

serious cutting hazard.

This pump has been evaluated for use with water only, 

however use with human waste and toilet paper is permitted.

For pressure sewer applications, 

verify a Redundant Check 

Valve Assembly (curb stop and check valve) is installed 

between the pump discharge and the street main, as close to 

the public right-of-way as possible, on all installations to 

protect from system pressures.

Check 3-phase pumps for correct rotation prior to installing 

pump(s) in basin. To change rotation, reverse any two of the 

three power leads to the pump (not the ground). Code the 

wires for reconnection after installation.

Do not dispose of materials such as paint thinner or other 

chemicals down drains. Doing so could chemically attack and 

damage pump system components and cause product 

malfunction or failure.

Do not use pumps with fluid over 140°F (60°C). Operating the 

pump in fluid above this temperature can overheat the pump, 

resulting in pump failure. Maximum continuous duty fluid 

temperature is 104°F (40°C).

Do not use pump system with mud, sand, cement, 

hydrocarbons, grease, or chemicals. Pump and system 

components can be damaged from these items causing 

product malfunction or failure. Additionally, flooding can 

occur if these items jam the impeller or piping.

The Uniform Plumbing Code® states that sewage systems 

shall have an audio and visual alarm that signals a 

malfunction of the system, to reduce the potential for 

property damage.

Do not position the pump float directly under the inlet from 

drain tile or in the direct path of any incoming water.
