PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer
before using. Do Not remove the test plug from the pump.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These
materials should be retained for future reference.
SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Make sure there is a properly installed ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit available. All pumps
are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help
protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.
2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the
reach of the pump's power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long
or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump
motor. But, more important, they could present a safety
hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the
connection ends were to fall into the sump and become
wet.
3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is
equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper
capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended,
sized according the National Electrical Code for the
current shown on the pump name plate.
4. TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each
electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an
Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which
will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are
correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a
qualified licensed electrician.
5. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and
hardware should only be performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT
PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE
HANDLING.
7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug
to help protect you against the possibility of electrical
shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be
inserted in a mating 3-prong fault interrupter receptacle.
If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it
must be changed to the proper type, wired, and grounded
in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.
8. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. These pumps have not
been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
DO NOT USE FOR PUMPING OILS, GASOLINE OR ANY PETROLEUM BY-PRODUCTS.

1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of
handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as
indicated on the pump name plate.

switches is the responsibility of the installing party and
care should be taken that the tethered float switch will
not hang up on the pumping apparatus or pit peculiarities
and is secured so that the pump will shut off. It is
recommended to use rigid piping and fittings and the pit be
12" (30cm) or larger in diameter.
3. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used to
handle sewage or effluent.
