OPERATIONS
ELECTRICAL
DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
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.
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.

personal injury, property damage or death. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres.
Do not allow the pump to run in a dry basin/tank. It will void
the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect
the motor from burning out due to overheating/overloading.
When the motor cools down, the overload protector will
automatically reset and start the motor.
If the overload trips frequently, check for the cause. It could
be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or an electrical
failure in the motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is
suspected, have it serviced by a competent repairman.
The pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing
is required.
Before removing the pump from the basin for service,
always disconnect electrical power to the pump and the
control switch.
Risk of fire or explosion. Can cause severe
