moves. If the pump is run dry it will become dangerously hot, and
could cause personal injury and/or damage to the pump.
If your pump is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third
prong grounds the pump to prevent possible electrical shock
hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
A separate branch circuit is recommended.

1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not
connect the pump to any voltage other than that shown.
2. The pump should be plugged directly into an electrical outlet. If
this is not available and an extension cord is used, make certain
that the connection between the pump and the extension cord
is not pulled into the water.
NOTE: This pump is intended to pump water only.
1. Install the pump in an upright (vertical position).
2. The pump will automatically check for water approximately
every 3 minutes. It will run for about 5 seconds, even with
no water present. After 5 seconds it will turn off if no water
is present; otherwise it will run continuously until the water
reaches the shut-off level.
3. To start the pump manually, disconnect the cord from the
power source, wait 5 seconds, then reconnect the cord.
