with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
• The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the
exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the
control panel must be made within a junction box mounted outside of the basin and comply with the
National Electrical Code. Employ a licensed electrician.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not remove the third prong from the plug, or cut plug from cord. These actions will void the warranty.
Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown. Use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) if required by code. The pump should be connected or wired to its
own circuit, with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit line. The fuses and circuit breaker should be of
ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
