5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug or mod-
ify plug.To protect against electrical shock, the power
cord is a three-wire conductor and includes a
3-prong grounded plug. Plug pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect pump
according to electrical codes that apply.
For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into an auto-
matic float switch or pump controller. Pump will run con-
tinuously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit
with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size
fuses or circuit breakers according to chart on Page 2.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Can burn or
cause death.
Be sure that power supply information
(Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump motor nameplate matches
incoming power supply exactly. Install pump according to
all electrical codes that apply.
OPERATION
NOTICE:
Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It
will void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will pro-
tect motor from burning out due to overheating/overload-
ing. When motor cools down, overload protector will
automatically reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a
stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure in
motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.
