INTRODUCTION
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it should
malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING:
Risk of electric shock-
This pump is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding- type attachment
plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
This pump is for use on a nominal 120-volt
circuit, and has a grounded plug as illustrated in
the sketch. (fig. 1) A temporary adapter with a
grounding lug may be used to connect this plug
to a 2-pole receptacle if a properly grounded
outlet is not available. The temporary adapter
should only be used until a properly grounded
outlet can be installed. The green-colored rigid
ear, lug, or the like, extending from the adapter,
must be connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover. (g. 2)
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held
in place by a metal screw. Please consult a
qualied electrician if there are questions on how
to connect to a ground with a 2-prong outlet. The
pump should not be plugged into this outlet if it is
not grounded.
