•
Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit
equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device or a residual current device (RCD) having a rated
residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA if required
by code.
•
Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure
power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If
not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the
problem.
•
Pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the
third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the
pump to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
•
