When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety
precautions should always be followed, include the following:
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to
a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-
interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify
that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.
This unit must be connected only to a supply circuit
that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter
(GFCI). Such a GFCI should be provided by the installer and should
be tested on a routine basis. To test the GFCI, push the test button.
The GFCI should interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power should
be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, the GFCI is
defective. If the GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the test button
being pushed, a ground current is flowing, indicating the possibility of an
electric shock. Do not use this pump. Disconnect the pump and have the
problem corrected by a qualified service representative before using.
