SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Specifications
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• Wire pump system for correct voltage.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device if required by code.
• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk
of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to help prevent pos-
sible electric shock hazard.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly
connected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with
their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qual-
ified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize abuse from lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equip-
ment.
• The pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. If the pump is
used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical
insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
