working with pumps.
WARNING:
When possible, connect the pump
DIRECTLY to a grounded outlet. Extension cords
may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor.
Extension cords present a life-threatening safety
hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the
connection ends fall into water. If using 25 ft.
extension cord, use 16-gauge wire or thicker.

Protect the electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn
cords.
