CONNECTIONS
The Pump
has a 3-prong
electric
plug. The third
prong
is
used to ground
the pump
to prevent
possible
fatal shock.
The third
prong
should
never
be removed.
Your electrical
outlet
should
be the 3-prong,
polarized
type with
an inter-
nal ground.
A separate
15 amp GFCI branch
electrical
circuit
is recom-
mended.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD.
Testing for Ground
For your safety, check your outlet
for ground
using a Circuit
Analyzer.
(Figure
A). A Circuit Analyzer
will tell you by a pat-
tern of lights if the power,
neutral,
and ground
wires
are cor-
rectly connected
to your outlet.
It can also be used to check
other
outlets
in your home.
A Circuit
Analyzer
is available
in
the Sears Electrical
Department.

cord
set
with
Face
grounding-type
plug for use in a 3-wire, grounded
outlet.
