Safety Information
Always disconnect the pump from its power source before handling or making any adjustments to the pump.
Only qualified personnel should complete fixed wiring and electrical connections, according to all local and
national electrical codes, during a pump installation.
After installation, be certain that the pump is properly grounded, using its supplied grounding conductor.
Failure to properly ground the pump can cause all metal portions of the pump and any of its surroundings to
become energized.
During flood conditions, submerged electrical connections can energize the water. Always wear dielectric
rubber boots and other applicable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when water is on the floor and you
must service an energized pump. DO NOT ENTER THE WATER if the water level is higher than that of the
protection your PPE offers or if your PPE is not watertight.
DO NOT bypass grounding wires.
The electrical power supply shall be located within the length limitations of the pump power cord, and for
below grade installations it shall be at least 1.22 m (4 feet) above floor level.
NEVER lift or carry a pump by its power cord. This will damage the power cord, and could expose the
electrically live wires inside the power cord.
During construction, if the pump is installed before its power cord can be plugged in or direct wired, the power
cord must be protected from the environment to prevent water from wicking through the cord end into the
pump housing. If water enters the pump an electrical short can occur from the pump to its surroundings,
which will energize the surroundings.
NEVER use this product in applications where human contact with the pumped fluid is common (such as
swimming pools, fountains, marine areas, etc.).
