GENERAL SAFETY
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this

manual and on the unit itself.
Follow all applicable local and state codes and regulations.

Keep safety labels in good condition, replacing any missing

or damaged labels.
Vent sewage or septic tank according to local codes.

Do not install pump in any location classified as hazardous

by National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 80-1984 or the
Canadian Electrical Code.
WARNING Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill.
During operation the pump is in water. To avoid fatal shocks,
proceed as follows if pump needs servicing:
Do not smoke or use devices that can generate sparks in a

septic (gaseous) environment.
Disconnect power to outlet box before unplugging pump.

Take extreme care when changing fuses. Do not stand in

water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
Do not modify the cord or plug. When using cord and

plug, use a grounded outlet only. When wiring to a system
control, connect ground lead to the system ground.
Be sure that construction and access to septic sumps

conform with all OSHA requirements.
Do not run the pump dry. Dry running can overheat the

pump, (causing burns to anyone handling it) and will void the
warranty.
The pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns when servicing

pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after shutdown before
handling it.
The pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing

is required in normal operation. For overhaul, see
instructions under this manual's Maintenance section.

DANGER
When installing, operating, or servicing this pump, follow the
safety instructions listed below.
DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.

DO NOT allow the plug on the end of the electrical cord to

be submerged.
DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and

can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or
damage motor.
DO NOT handle or service the pump while it is connected to

the power supply.
DO NOT remove the grounding prong from the plug or

modify the plug. To protect against electrical shock,
the power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes
a 3-prong grounded plug. Plug the pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect the pump
according to the NEC or CEC and local codes.
BE SURE that power supply information (Voltage/ Hertz/

Phase) on pump motor nameplate matches incoming power
supply exactly. Install pump according to all electrical
codes that apply.
