Before installation, read the following instructions carefully. Each Liberty pump is individually factory tested to insure proper
performance. Closely following these instructions will eliminate potential operating problems, assuring years of trouble-free
service.
Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before handling or making
adjustments.
The electrical connections and wiring for a pump installation should only be made by qualified personnel.
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.
DO NOT bypass grounding wires or remove ground prong from attachment plugs.
DO NOT use an extension cord.
This pump requires a separate, properly fused and grounded branch circuit. Make sure the power source is
properly sized for the voltage and amperage requirements of the pump, as noted on the nameplate.
The electrical outlet shall be within the length limitations of the pump power cord, and at least 4 feet above floor
level to minimize possible hazards from flood conditions.
The installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, International
Plumbing Code, as well as all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Sump and sewage pumps often handle materials which could cause illness or disease. Wear adequate protective
clothing when working on a used pump or piping.
Never enter a pump basin after it has been used. Sewage and effluent can emit several gases which are
poisonous.
Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. To prevent injury, never insert fingers into pump while it is
plugged in.
DO NOT use this product for flammable or corrosive liquid.
DO NOT use this product in applications where human contact with the pumped fluid is common (such as
swimming pools, fountains, etc.)
NEVER dispose of materials such as paint thinner or other chemicals down drains, as they can chemically attack
and damage pump components, potentially causing product malfunction or failure.
DO NOT run pump dry, this product is intended to be partway submerged when operating.
Do not use these pumps in water over 140
F.
The Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC) states that sewage systems shall have an audio and visual alarm that signals
a malfunction of the system, to reduce the potential for property damage.
A 20 amp breaker is recommended for 115V pumps.
Note: Manual models (“M”
suffix), require a separate
approved pump control device or
panel for automatic operation.
Operation of these models will be
according to the control selected.
Make
sure
the
electrical
specifications of the control
selected properly match the
electrical specifications of the
pump. Always refer to control
panel instructions for proper
