READ AND FOLLOW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on pump.
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of
the following signal words and be alert to the potential for
personal injury.
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious per-
sonal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many years of
trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained, and
used. However, unusual circumstances (interruption of power
to the pump, dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that exceeds
the pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in the
pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from functioning normally.
To prevent possible water damage due to flooding, consult
your dealer about installing a secondary sump pump, a DC
backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the
"Troubleshooting Chart" in this manual for information
about common sump pump problems and remedies. For more
information, see your dealer or call the Consumer Hotline at
1-800-942-3343.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
2. Disconnect the power before servicing.
3. Release all pressure within the system before servicing any
component.
4. Drain all the water from the system before servicing.
5. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing per-
sonal injury and/or property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use,
making certain that all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect the sump, pump and system compo-
nents. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform
routine maintenance as required.
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis-
charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with
pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted
– replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electri-
cal and safety codes that apply.
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt and is equipped
with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, ground-
ing-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, pull the
plug before servicing. Pump is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it
is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type
receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with codes and ordinances that apply.
This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming
pool areas.
12. A ground fault circuit interrupter is recommended for use
with any electrical appliance submerged in water.
Installation and all wiring should be performed by a quali-
fied electrician.
13. Make certain the power source conforms to the require-
ments of your equipment.
14. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oils, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or
repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electric shock. Can burn or kill. If
your basement has water or moisture on floor, do not walk on
the wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-
off box is in the basement, call electric company or hydro
authority to shut-off the service to house, or call your local
fire department for instructions. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fatal electrical shock.
17. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
18. DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.
19. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and
can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or
damage motor.
20. DO NOT remove the grounding prong from 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 electrical
codes that apply.
21. Connect or wire the pump to an individual branch circuit
with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size
fuses or circuit breakers according to the Motor, Switch &
Cord Specifications Chart.
