SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Before Getting Started
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one dis-
connect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
• Wire pump system for correct voltage.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if
required by code.
• 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.

with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical insulation sys-
tem resulting in electrical shock.
