surface while the pump is plugged into the power source.
• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is
wired with a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that
it is only connected to a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle. If you have a 2-prong

• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical outlet should be within the length of the
pump's power cord, and at least 4 feet above the floor level to minimize potential
hazards from flood conditions.
• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord.
