CORD LIFT WARNING
The pump is plugged into a vertical switch for automatic
operation. The pump will run continuously when plugged
directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit with
no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or
circuit breakers according to the "Pump, Motor, Switch and
Cord Specifications" chart.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure
that power supply information (Voltage/Hertz/Phase) in
this manual matches incoming power supply exactly.
Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.
NOTICE: Proper ventilation is needed to prevent negative
basin pressure and to provide air within the basin.
The basin should be located at the lowest place in the
basement or area to be drained. Floor drains from other areas
in the basement may be tiled into the basin. Drain tile around
a house foundation may also be tiled into the basin, effectively
removing water and relieving pressure from this area.
Basin covers are used to exclude refuse from the basin.
