Safety Instructions
Risk of death, personal injury, or property damage due to explosion,
fire, or electric shock.
• Do not use to pump flammable, combustible, or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc.
• Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by the NEC, ANSI/NFPA70.
• Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
• When a pump is in its application, do not touch the motor, pipes, or water until the unit is unplugged or electrically disconnected.
• If the power disconnect is out of sight, lock it in the open position and tag it to prevent unexpected application of power.
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system.
• 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.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected.
• 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.
• 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.
• In a 230 V direct wire installation, one side of the line going to the pump is always electrically energized, regardless of whether
the liquid level control switch is open or closed. To avoid hazards when installing or servicing, install a double-pole disconnect
near the pump installation.
• 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 and com-
ply with the National Electrical Code.
• 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) and the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• The pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. If the pump is used with liquids incom-
patible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experi-
ence and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in
the immediate vicinity.
• Equipment can start automatically. Lockout-Tagout before servicing equipment.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
• In applications where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s) (e.g. auxiliary switch) and/or alarm should be used
and monitored.
• The high level switch should be connected to a Class II Low Voltage circuit. The two switch wires are black. Do not confuse these
wires with the line voltage power conductors.
• The high level switch is placed in an orientation that reverses the normal function of normally open and normally closed termi-
nals. Pay close attention to the instructions in the owner's manual.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
