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 the power to the outlet box before unplug-

ging the pump. 

5B. Take extreme care when changing the fuses. Do not

stand in water or put your finger in a fuse socket.

5C. Do not modify the cord and plug. When using the cord

and plug, plug into a grounded outlet only. When wiring
to a system control, connect the pump ground lead to
the system ground.

6.

Do not run the pump dry. Dry running can overheat the
pump, (causing burns to anyone handling it) and will
void the warranty.

before handling it.
