SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock. Do not plug in or unplug while
standing on a wet floor or in water. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
Risk of electrical shock. Do not lift the pump
by the electrical cord; lift pump only by the discharge pipe,
lifting ring or handle on the pump. Lifting by the cord can
damage the cord.
Do not smoke or use devices that can generate sparks in a
septic (gaseous) environment.
Disconnect power to outlet box before unplugging pump.
Take extreme care when changing fuses. Do not stand in
water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
Be sure that construction and access to septic sumps
conform with all OSHA requirements.
Do not run the pump dry. Dry running can overheat the
pump, (causing burns to anyone handling it) and will void the
warranty.
The pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns when servicing
pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shutdown before
handling it.
The pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required in normal operation. For overhaul, see instructions
under "Service".

ELECTRICAL
DO NOT splice the electrical power cord. Do not modify
the cord and plug. When using the cord and plug, plug into
a grounded outlet only. When wiring to a system control,
connect the pump ground lead to the system ground.
DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.
DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and
can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or
damage motor.
DO NOT handle or service the pump while it is connected to
the power supply.
DO NOT remove the grounding prong from the plug 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 the NEC or CEC and local codes.
DO NOT install pump in any location classified as hazardous
by National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA or the Canadian
Electrical Code.
For automatic operation, plug or wire the pump into an
automatic float switch or duplex controller. The pump will
run continuously when plugged directly into an electrical
outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit
with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses
or circuit breakers according to the "Specifications" list.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Can burn,
kill or cause property damage. Be sure that power supply
information (Voltage/ Hertz/Phase) on pump motor
nameplate matches incoming power supply exactly.
Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.
