SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

This pump motor is not submersible. Do not submerge the motor or allow motor to be exposed to

water. Personal injury and/or death from electrical shock could result.

Do not use this unit to pump chemicals, flammable liquids, sewage or corrosive liquids. You could injure

yourself and the pump will fail. Pumping these types of liquids voids the warranty.

 Water and electricity can be dangerous if certain precautions are not adhered to. This pump is

designed to operate perfectly safe in a water environment; however, improper use and installation

can result in personal harm from electrical shock. Please pay attention to the following warnings.

 Never touch any electrical device, including this pump, when it is touching water, in water, or even

in a moist environment. Always unplug (disconnect the electricity) when servicing or installing the

unit.

 RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding

-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is connected only to

a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

 Do not use the power cord or discharge hose to carry or handle the pump. Doing so may cause

damage to the power cord or discharge hose.

CAUTION

    Your pump has thermal over-load protection built in. The thermal overload protector will

automatically shut down the motor in an overheat situation. It will then reset itself once the motor

cools down. The pump will then work again. This overload protector is designed as a safety device

and it will fail after repeated use.

  Always use a grounded outlet to attach the plug. A three-prong mating type receptacle is needed

for safe use. This should be in accordance with the National Electric Code and any additional

codes or laws required by your local government.

  This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an

approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN

UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a properly

installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use pump with a 2-prong wall

outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet)

installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All

wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

  Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the

cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

    For best performance, it is recommended to connect the power cord directly to the grounded GFCI

outlet. If the use of an extension cord is necessary, always use a grounded waterproof type cord.

Never use longer than a 25-ft. cord that is lighter than 14/3 gauge.

    Keep all electrical connections away from wet and moist environments. Wet connections can

cause electrical shock resulting in personal injury.

    ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, SERVICE

OR PERFORM MAINTENANCE ON THE PUMP. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN FATAL

ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
