Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump, discharge or electrical plug when water is
present in the area.
• 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.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if
required by code.
Connect the power cord to a con-
stant source of power matching
the pump nameplate voltage.
• Connect the pump to its
own circuit with no other
electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit.
• Ensure that the fuses or cir-
cuit breaker are of ample
capacity in the electrical
circuit.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, the whole unit must be replaced.
