PERFORMANCE
GENERAL SAFETY
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give
many years of trouble-free service when correctly
installed, maintained, and used. However, unusual
circumstances (interruption of power to the pump,
dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that exceeds the
pump’s capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in
the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from func-
tioning normally. To prevent possible water damage
due to flooding, consult your retailer about a sec-
ondary AC sump pump, a DC backup sump pump,
and/or a high water alarm. See the “Troubleshooting
Chart” in this manual for information about com-
mon sump pump problems and remedies. For more
information, see your retailer or call customer ser-
vice at 1-800-468-7867.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
Do not use in explosive atmos-
pheres. Pump water only with
this pump. Failure to follow this warning can
result in personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Disconnect power before servicing.
3. Release all pressure within system before servic-
ing any component.
4. Drain all water from system before servicing.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible
discharge hose is used, pump
may move when motor starts. If it moves far
enough so that switch hits side of sump, switch
may stick and prevent pump from starting.Make
sure pump is secured so it cannot move around
in sump.
5. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before
each use, making certain all connections are
secure.
7. Inspect sump, pump and system components
monthly. Keep free of debris and foreign
objects. Perform routine maintenance as
required.
FIRE HAZARD - Do not store
or rest objects on or near
motor or switch linkage. Keep all flammable
objects or liquids away from motor.
8. Provide means of pressure relief for pumps
whose discharge line can be shut-off or
obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when work-
ing with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and
properly lighted – replace all unused tools
and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work
area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with pad-
locks, master switches, and by removing
starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, fol-
low all electrical and safety codes, as well as
most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (sin-
gle phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-
conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type
plug.
To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is
connected to properly grounded, grounding-
type receptacle.
Never connect green (or
green and yellow) wire in
cord to a live terminal!
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encoun-
tered, it must be replaced with properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and
local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
13. Make certain that power source conforms to
requirements of your equipment.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern
motors can operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp sur-
face, or in water.
If your basement has water or
moisture on floor, do not walk on
wet area until all power has been turned off. If
shut-off box is in basement, call electric company
to shut-off service to house, or call local fire
department for instructions. Remove pump and
repair or replace. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fatal electrical shock.
Do not use in hazardous or
explosive locations.
