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.
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.
Hazardous locations contain explosive gases that can be
detonated by sparking or electric shock.
All terminations and penetrations of conduit or cable shall be
done using approved materials and methods intended for
use to mitigate the potential for explosion.
When working in a hazardous location, all precautions to
minimize ignition sources such as spark and flame should be
taken to limit the potential for fire or explosion.
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.
Use only non-sparking tools and components in and around
basins, open covers and vents. Do not use electronic devices
that are not rated for use in hazardous locations or have live,
exposed electrical circuits in or around basins, open covers
and vents. Sewage and effluent systems produce and may
contain flammable and explosive gases and sparks could
ignite these gases.
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.
All electrical and motor repairs and service must be
performed by a repair facility approved by Liberty Pumps and
certified to work on explosion-proof motor enclosures.
Do not remove power supply or control cord. All electrical
and motor repairs and service must be performed by the
factory or a repair facility approved by Liberty Pumps and
certified to work on explosion-proof motor enclosures.
Refer to Chapter 5 of the National Electric Code
®
or
applicable local codes and ordinances for all electrical and
wiring requirements in hazardous locations.
Float switches must be connected to an intrinsically safe
circuit in the control panel as per the requirements of
Chapter 5 of the National Electric Code®.
All personnel shall be trained and qualified for safe work
practices and procedures.
All installations shall be in compliance with all applicable
Federal, State, and Local codes and ordinances for hazardous
locations.
All electrical terminations shall be made according to Federal,
State, and Local codes for hazardous or classified locations.
Conduit, junction boxes, and associated components shall be
approved for use with hazardous locations and installed
according to specifications.
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.
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.
This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
Wear Personal Protective Equipment as exposed bottom has
sharp edges.
