General Safety Information

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and understanding how your sump pump works.

Safety Signal Words

to the equipment or fl ooding.
Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in fatal electric
shock, fi re, property damage, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area

• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Pump motors create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away
while installing pump. Distractions can result in
mistakes.

Electrical Safety

• This pump must be plugged into
an outlet, properly installed, and grounded
in accordance with all applicable codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong
or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are not sure the outlet is grounded. If
the pump should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user.
• Electrical wiring must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Improper wiring could result
in fatal electrical shock.

• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry
the pump or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical
shock.
• Pump must be plugged into an outlet receptacle
that includes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). In the event of current leakage, a GFCI will
trip, thus reducing the risk of serious injury or death
from electrical shock.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating
correctly. A GFCI reduces the risk of electrical
shock.
• Do not use an extension cord. This increases
the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a
properly grounded outlet closer to the pump.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when installing this pump. Do
not attempt to install this pump while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications. A moment of inattention may result
in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
hard hat must be used for appropriate conditions.
