Electrical
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill.
When installing, operating, or servicing this pump, follow the
safety instructions listed below.
Do not lift pump by the power cord.
1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and
can reduce voltage to prevent pumping and/or damage
motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service the pump while it is connected
to the power supply.
5. DO NOT remove the grounding prong from the plug or
modify the plug. To protect against electrical shock, the
power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes a
3-prong grounded plug. Plug the pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect the pump
according to the NEC or CEC and local codes.
The pump is plugged into a vertical switch for automatic
operation. The pump will run continuously 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 the “Pump, Motor, Switch and
Cord Specifications” chart.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure
that power supply information (Voltage/Hertz/Phase) in
this manual matches incoming power supply exactly.
Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.
NOTICE: Proper ventilation is needed to prevent negative
basin pressure and to provide air within the basin.
The basin should be located at the lowest place in the
basement or area to be drained. Floor drains from other areas
in the basement may be tiled into the basin. Drain tile around
a house foundation may also be tiled into the basin, effectively
removing water and relieving pressure from this area.
Basin covers are used to exclude refuse from the basin.
