Safety
General Safety Information
Your automatic sump pump should give years
of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, 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 normal pump operation. To
help prevent damage from flooding, purchase
a secondary AC sump pump, a DC backup
sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See
Troubleshooting in this manual for information
about common sump pump problems and
remedies. For more information, call Flotec
customer service at 1-800-365-6832 or visit our

Risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. To reduce the risk of hazardous
or fatal electrical shock, follow instructions A
through D, below:
A. This pump has an approved 3-conductor
power cord with 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Connect the pump only to a properly grounded,
3-prong outlet. If the sump pump circuit has
a 2-prong outlet, replace it with a grounded
3-prong outlet installed according to code.
B. Unplug the pump before handling or servicing
it. If your basement floor is wet, turn off all
power before walking on it. If the shut-off box
is in the basement, call your electric company
or hydro authority to shut off service to the
house, or call your local fire department
for instructions. After turning off the power,
remove the pump for service.
C. Protect the electrical cords from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the cords. Replace damaged or worn cords.
D. Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
Risk of fire. Plastic pipe glue
is extremely flammable. Follow the glue
manufacturer's instructions when assembling
glued plastic pipe.
Risk of burns. Motors may run hot.
Allow 20 minutes to cool before handling.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
2. Do not use this pump in water with fish
present. If any oil leaks out of the motor it can
kill fish.
3. Drain the system completely before servicing it.
4. To prevent a flexible discharge line from
whipping, which could cause injury or
damage, fasten it down before starting
the pump.
5. Before each use, check any hoses in the system
for weakness or wear. Make certain that all
connections are tight.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at 1-800-365-6832
6. Periodically inspect the sump, the pump,
and the piping for debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine cleaning as required.
7. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when
working with pumps.
b. Keep your work area clean, uncluttered
and properly lighted; put away all unused
tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the
work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof with padlocks
and master switches. Remove any
starter keys.

laws, codes, and ordinances.
