Before installation and operation, we recommend the
following procedures:
Check with your local electrical and plumbing codes
to ensure you comply with the regulations. These
codes have been designed with your safety in mind.
Be sure you comply with them.
We recommend that a separate circuit be lead
from the home electrical distribution panel properly
protected with a fuse or a circuit breaker. We also
recommend that a ground fault circuit be used.
Consult a licensed electrician for all wiring.
The ground terminal on the three prong plugs should
never be removed. They are supplied and designed
for your protection.
Never make adjustments to any electrical appliance
or product with the power connected. Do not only
unscrew the fuse or trip the breaker, remove the
power plug from the receptacle.
Assuming that you have a sump pit located in your
basement fl oor... Your sump pit must be constructed
from concrete, brick, tile or more recently a sump
basin made from plastic and/or fi berglass. The
minimum size of your sump pit MUST be 18” in
diameter and no less than 25” deep. When pit is
ready, proceed to next step.
