Figure 2 - Typical Installation/
Installation Type/Instalacion Tipica
When a pump is in a basin or lift station, do not touch the motor,
pipes, or water until unit is unplugged or shut off. If shut-off box is
not accessible, call the electric company to shut off service to the
house, or call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to
follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
Do not modify the power cord except to shorten it to fit into a
control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel
must be made within a junction box and mounted outside of the
basin, and comply with the National Electrical Code. Do not use
the power cord for lifting the pump.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or
low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump.
1. Read all instructions and Safety Guidelines thoroughly. Failure
to follow the guidelines and instructions could result in serious
bodily injury and/or property damage.
2. DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE
FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE,
ETC. DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES OR
HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS AS CLASSIFIED BY NEC, ANSI/
NFPA70. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
3. During normal operation the pump is immersed in water. Also,
during rain storms, water may be present in the surrounding
area of the pump. Use caution to prevent bodily injury when
working near the pump:
