POWER CORD REPLACEMENT
1. Obtain an exact replacement for your power cord and its crimp connectors from Liberty Pumps.
2. Disconnect pump from power source prior to servicing.
3. Remove the (4) fasteners from the perimeter of the cord entry plate and pull gently away from pump until
crimped male-female disconnections are visible.
4. Mark wires on pump side of crimp connectors with the color of the attached wire from the supply cable.
5. Disconnect the power cable from the pump lead wires by pulling on the base of the connecter at the crimp.
Do not pull on the wires to separate the connector. Inspect the motor leads and connectors, replace them if it
is necessary.
6. Separate the grounding conductor from the old power cord using the same process described to remove the
crimped connectors. Re-attach the grounding conductor to the new power cord by pushing the two terminals
together.
7. Reconnect the colored leads on the replacement supply cord to the appropriate labeled wire on the pump.
8. Reinstall the cord entry plate to the pump by installing and tightening the (4) fasteners around the perimeter of
the cord entry plate.

Correction
Have an electrician verify that the pump
is wired according to the installation
instructions. Also check all wiring for
proper connections and adequate
capacity.
Have an electrician verify that pump is
connected to the control panel correctly.
If no problem is found, consult Liberty
Pumps or control panel manufacturer.
Verify the pump runs manually, without
floats. If the pump works, check that all
floats are free to move. If a float has
debris build-up or is restricted by its
surroundings, clean and reinstall float
properly. Otherwise consult Liberty
Pumps.
Disconnect the pump from its power
source. Using a multi-meter, verify that
there is no continuity between the hot
and neutral motor leads. Once the
pump cools, there will be continuity, and
the pump is safe to run. Otherwise
consult Liberty Pumps.
