Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump, discharge or electrical plug when water
is present in the area. Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device if required by code.
• Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should the
junction box be located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
• Connect the power cord to a constant source of power matching the voltage specified on the pump
nameplate.
• Always connect pump to grounded receptacle.
• Connect or wire the pump to its own circuit.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
• If using an extension cord, make sure its connection with the power cord is not in water.
NOTE: If the power cord is damaged, the whole unit must be replaced.
