General Safety Information

and understanding how your sump pump works.

lowed someone could be seriously injured or killed.

means if safety information is not fol-

lowed someone may be injured.

indicates important information, that if

not followed, may cause damage to the equipment or

flooding.

Read and understand all instruc-

tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in fatal electric shock, fire, property

damage, and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area

• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases, or dust. Pump motors create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away

while installing pump. Distractions can result in

mistakes.

Electrical Safety

• This pump must be plugged into an outlet,

properly installed, and grounded in accordance

with all applicable codes and ordinances. Never

remove the grounding prong or modify the plug

in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check

with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the

outlet is grounded. If the pump should electrically

malfunction or break down, grounding provides a

low resistance path to carry electricity away from the

user.

• Electrical wiring must be performed by a quali-

fied electrician. Improper wiring could result in fatal

electrical shock.

DANGER

• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry

the pump or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or mov-

ing parts. Replace damaged cords immediate-

ly. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical

shock.

• Pump must be plugged into an outlet recepta-

cle that includes a Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI). In the event of current leak-

age, a GFCI will trip, thus reducing the risk of seri-

ous injury or death from electrical shock.

Figure 1

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating cor-

rectly. A GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.

• Do not use an extension cord. This increases

the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a

properly grounded outlet closer to the pump.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use

common sense when installing this pump. Do

not attempt to install this pump while tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-

ications. A moment of inattention may result in

serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard

hat must be used for appropriate conditions.
