SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Specifications
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
• 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.
• 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. Do not use an extension cord.
• Some pumps are supplied without a plug and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or other
approved enclosure. These pumps include a grounding conductor. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that
is properly connected to ground according to code. 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 in a control panel. Any splice
between the pump and the control must be made within a junction box and comply with the National Electrical
Code.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly con-
nected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Wire pump system for correct voltages.
• Employ a licensed electrician.
• Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should the junction
box be located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be made in accordance with
their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occupational Safety and
Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this manual.
Read entire manual before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for
future use.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or
lacking in experience 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. Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power
before servicing the pump or switch.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
Use with approved liquid level control with correct rating that matches marked motor input in full load amperes
or service factor amperes.
• 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, an automatic back-up system and/or an
alarm should be installed.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with
pump component materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid
can cause failure to the electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high temperature that
could cause skin burns if touched and will cause serious damage to your pump.
• Do not oil the motor. The pump's motor housing is sealed, with a high-grade dielectric oil for heat transfer and
lifetime lubrication. Use of other oils could cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
• Do not use motor in swimming areas or marine applications.
• Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of water is to
be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during operation and disconnected from power before
the pump runs dry.
