SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: Risk of electric shock. 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
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle. As a
safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked with an
Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer. This will indicate
if the power, neutral and ground wires are properly connected. If
they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician.
1. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electrical shock, pull plug
before servicing this pump.
2. Check local electrical and building codes before installation.
The installation must be in accordance with their regulations.
3. During normal operation the sump pump is immersed in
water. Also, during rain storms, water may be present in the

surrounding area of the pump. Caution must be used to pre-
vent bodily injury when working near the pump:
a. Electrical power should be disconnected prior to touching,
servicing or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, extreme care
should be used when changing fuses. Do not stand in water
while changing fuses or insert your finger into the fuse socket.
4. Do not run the pump in a dry sump. If the pump is run in a dry
sump, the surface temperature of the
pump will rise to a high level. This
high level could cause skin burns if
the pump is touched and will cause
serious damage to your pump.
5. Do not oil the motor. The pump
housing is sealed. A high grade
dielectric oil devoid of water has
been put into the motor housing at
the factory. Use of other oil could
cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage to the
pump.
6. This pump's motor housing is filled with a dielectric lubricant
at the factory for optimum motor heat transfer and lifetime
lubrication of the bearings. Use of any other lubricant could
cause damage and void the warranty. This lubricant is non-
toxic; however, if it escapes the motor housing, it should be
removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers or
other absorbent material on the water surface to soak it up, so
aquatic life is undisturbed.
7. In any installation where property damage and/or personal
injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to
power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason,
a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
