Grounding Instructions

This appliance must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
!
WARNING: Risk of electric shock
- This pump is supplied with a
grounding conductor and ground-
ing-type attachment plug. To reduce
the risk of electric shock, be certain
that it is connected only to a
properly grounded, grounding-type
receptacle.
!
WARNING: Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance
- if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This pump is for use on a nominal 120-
volt circuit, and has a grounded plug as
illustrated in the sketch. A temporary
adapter with a grounding lug may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter
should only be used until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like,
extending from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
Please consult a qualified electrician if
there is question how to connect to a
ground with a 2-prong outlet. The pump
should not be plugged into this outlet if it
is not grounded.
