Submersible Pump Safety

• Do not use to pump flammable or
explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kero-
sene, solvents, thinners etc. Do not use in a
flammable and/or explosive atmosphere. Pump
should only be used to pump clear water. Improper
use could result in personal injury and/or death.
• If there is water or moisture on the floor or
ground near the pump, do not walk on wet area
until all power is turned off. If the shut-off box

is in the basement, call an electrician. Failure
to follow this warning could result in fatal electrical
shock.
• Always disconnect the power source before
attempting to install, service, relocate, or main-
tain the pump. Never handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing on wet
or damp surface or in water. Failure to follow
this warning could result in personal injury and/or
death.
• Pump motor is equipped with automatic reset-
ting thermal protector that could restart unex-
pectedly. Disconnect power source when servicing
pump.
• Do not modify float or position float switch
so that pump will operate continuously. Pump
is not designed for continuous operation, this will
reduce performance and life of the pump.
• Do not hang pump by handle for permanent
installation. This minimizes twisting which can
lead to damage during pump operations.
Description and Specifi cations

Description

The submersible pump is designed for home sump
operations only. The unit is equipped with an 8 foot,
3-prong grounding type power cord. The motor has an
automatic reset thermal protector to prevent burnouts
due to overloading or clogging. The pump is designed
to automatically maintain water level between factory
preset points.
The SSP-1000 is provided with a solid-state electronic
water level control. When water is detected, the pump
will start automatically.
The sensor is designed to run the pump a minimum of
4 seconds and a maximum of 16 seconds.
This pump is not designed to handle
salt water, brine, laundry discharge, or any other
application which may contain caustic chemicals and/
or foreign materials. This pump is not suitable for use
with aquatic life. Pump damage or failure could occur
if used in these applications and will void the warranty.
Do not use for sewage or effl uent applications.
It is strongly recommended that
a battery back-up system be used. Power outages,
excessive water fl ow, G.F.C.I. tripping and primary pump
wear can cause fl ooding. A battery back-up system
reduces this risk. Contact your Ridge Tool distributor.
