Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
• Some pumps are supplied with lead wires and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or
other approved enclosure. The pumps include a grounding connector. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is properly connected to ground.
• Some pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-
type receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump
to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are prop-
erly connected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way,
with the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the
pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box mounted outside of the
basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not remove the third prong from the plug, or cut plug from cord. These actions will void the war-
ranty.
• Do not use an extension cord.
Wiring Guidelines
Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device.
The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or equipment
in the circuit. The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
