IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
DANGER INDICATES AN IMMINENTLY HAZARDOUS
SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
If using pump to drain a vessel of water make sure the pump is not used
while people are in, or in-contact with the water.
Do NOT pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, solvent, thinners, etc. DO NOT use in a
flammable and/or explosive atmosphere. ONLY pump clear water.
Improper use could result in death or serious injury, and will void
warranty.
Electric shock hazard! GFCI receptacles will provide protection against
line to ground faults only. The ground fault receptacle does NOT limit the
magnitude of fault current and will NOT prevent electrical shock.
This pump must be plugged into a properly installed, and grounded GFCI
outlet in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances. Never
remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the
outlet is grounded. If the pump should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
Before each use inspect pump, power cord and plug for damage. If damage
is present DO NOT USE pump.
Electrical wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician. Improper
wiring could result in fatal shock.
Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry or suspend the pump or
pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Do not bury cord. Visually locate cord to prevent damage.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock and will void warranty.
If there is water or moisture on the floor, do not walk on wet area until
all power is turned off. If the shut-off box is in the basement, call an
electrician. Failure to follow this warning could result in fatal electrical
shock.
Risk of electric shock! This pump has NOT been tested for use
in swimming pool or marine areas. NEVER place pump in pools
while people are in the water.
