SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
6. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and
ensure hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the
greatest amount of water quickly.
7. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump directly to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9. Extension cords may not deliver suffi cient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a
life-threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into
water. If using 50 ft. cord, use 16 gauge wire. If using 100 ft. cord, use 14 gauge wire.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10-amp or larger fuse or circuit
breaker.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components to ensure that the pump inlets are free of
mud, sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the
workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an
approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use the pump with
a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
(a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualifi ed electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.
