Important Safety Instructions
The Basement Watchdog Utility Pumps can be used in a variety of
areas including wet basements, window wells, pool covers, boats
or other areas that can collect water.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for Basement Watchdog Utility Pumps. You will need to refer
to it before attempting any installation or maintenance.
ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible.
Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property
damage, serious injury or death.
• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or making
adjustments.
• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface while the pump is plugged into the power source.
• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is
wired with a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that
it is only connected to a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle with GFCI (ground fault
circuit interrupter). If you have a 2- prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician replace
it with a 3-prong receptacle according to local codes and ordinances.
• ALWAYS plug the pump directly into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle with GFCI
(ground fault circuit interrupter). The electrical outlet should be within the length of the
pump’s power cord, and at least 4 feet above the floor level to minimize potential hazards
from flood conditions.
• NEVER use a receptacle that has been damaged, submerged in or exposed to water.
• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the ground prong from the plug.
• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord.
• MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle the power
requirements noted on the nameplate of the pump.
• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.
• DO NOT suspend the pump by the power cord or hose.
• DO NOT operate the pump if it has been damaged in any way.
• DO NOT use utility pumps in areas handling raw sewage, hazardous or flammable liquids
or vapors.
• DO NOT use utility pumps as a replacement for a sump pump or in a permanent installation
such as fountains, waterfalls or ponds. Utility pumps must be monitored when in use.
• DO NOT use in ponds or pools that contain fish or other living animals as the motor
contains cooling oil.
• DO NOT run dry.
• DO NOT disassemble the pump. When service is required, contact Glentronics technical
support at 800-991-0466, option 3. Return the product to the manufacturer for any repairs
at the following address:
