1. General Information and Safety Guidelines
Before installation, read the following instructions carefully. Each Liberty pump is individually factory tested to ensure proper
performance. Closely following these instructions will eliminate potential operating problems, assuring years of trouble-free service.
Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before handling or making adjustments.
The electrical connections and wiring for a pump installation should only be made by qualified personnel.
Explosion hazard during installation. PVC cleaners, primers, and cements can release explosive vapors. These heavier than air
vapors can accumulate in the tank. The heat of soldering or sweating copper or other metal pipe can ignite these vapors causing a
violent explosion. If the unit is to be connected to copper discharge or vent piping, all solvent welded PVC joints must be allowed to
cure a minimum of 24 hours. The access cover must be removed to allow the tank to be thoroughly ventilated prior to sweating
copper pipe near the unit.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) receptacle that meets the latest requirements per UL 943
including End of Life Provision and protection from Reverse Line-Load Miswire.
Always wear rubber boots when water is on the floor and you must unplug the pump.
DO NOT bypass grounding wires or remove ground prong from attachment plugs. DO NOT use an extension cord.
This pump requires a separate, properly fused and grounded branch circuit. Make sure the power source is properly sized for the
voltage and amperage requirements of the pump, as noted on the nameplate.
The electrical outlet shall be within the length limitations of the pump power cord, and at least 4 feet above floor level to minimize
possible hazards from flood conditions.
The installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, International Plumbing Code, as
well as all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. To prevent injury, never insert fingers into pump while it is plugged in.
DO NOT use this product for flammable or corrosive liquid.
DO NOT use this product in applications where human contact with the pumped fluid is common (such as swimming pools,
fountains, etc.)
NEVER dispose of materials such as paint thinner or other chemicals down drains, as they can chemically attack and damage
pump components, potentially causing product malfunction or failure.
