WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - continued
During construction, if the pump system is installed before its power cord can be plugged in or direct
wired, all power cords must be protected from the environment to prevent water from wicking
through the cord end into the pump or switch housings. If water enters these housings, an electrical
short can occur from the pump or switch to its surroundings, which will energize the surroundings.
WARNING
RISK OF FIRE
DO NOT use an extension cord to power the product. Extension cords can overload both the
product and extension cord supply wires. Overloaded wires will get very hot and can catch on fire.
This product requires a separate, properly fused and grounded branch circuit, sized for the voltage
and amperage requirements of the pump, as noted on the nameplate. Overloaded branch circuit
wires will get very hot and can catch on fire.
NEVER use this product with or near flammable liquids. If the rotating elements inside this pump
strike any foreign object, sparks may occur. Sparks could ignite flammable liquids.
WARNING
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
This pump system must be installed in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
DO NOT allow children to play with the pump system.
DO NOT allow children, or any person who is unqualified, to use this pump system. Any person
who is unaware of the dangers of this pump system, or whom has not read this manual, can easily
be injured by the pump system.
Wear adequate PPE when working on pumps or piping that have been exposed to wastewater.
Sump and sewage pumps often handle materials which can transmit illness or disease upon
contact with your skin and other tissues.
NOTICE
NEVER dispose of materials such as paint thinner or other chemicals down drains. Doing so could
chemically attack and damage pump system components and cause product malfunction or failure.
DO NOT use pumps with fluid over 40°C. Operating the pump in fluid above this temperature can
overheat the pump, resulting in pump failure.
DO NOT use pump system with mud, sand, cement, oil or chemicals. Pump and system
components can be damaged from these items causing product malfunction or failure. Additionally,
flooding can occur if these items jam the impeller or piping.
DO NOT modify the pump system in any way. Modifications may affect seals, change the electrical
loading of the pump, or damage the pump and its components. Modifications can void your warranty
on this product.
DO NOT run this pump system dry.
