Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance
with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
• 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. Employ a licensed electrician.
• 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.
Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required.
The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit
line. The fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
