SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. To reduce this risk, observe the following precautions.
• 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 (preferably with ground
fault circuit interrupt). If you have a 2-prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician replace it
with a 3-prong receptacle according to local codes and ordinances.
• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the ground prong from the plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical outlet should be within the length of the
pump’s power cord, and at least 4 ft. above the floor level to minimize potential hazards from
flood conditions.
• 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.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of hazards that can cause injury or property damage, observe
the following precautions.
• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.
• DO NOT expose the control unit to rain or snow.
• DO NOT operate the pump or control unit if it has been damaged in any way.
• DO NOT use sump pumps in pits handling raw sewage, salt water, or hazardous liquids.
• DO NOT disassemble the pump or control unit. When service is required, contact
