1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded
receptacle of grounding type must be installed and protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and in accordance
with national electrical code and local codes.
2. Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the
pumps power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not
deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But more impor-
tant, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were
to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the
sump.
3. Testing for Ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet
should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Labora-
tory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power,
neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet.
If they are not, call a qualified electrician.
4. For electrical safety, it is recommended that a GFCI be in-
stalled.
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM
ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase
pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help
protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT,
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE GROUND PIN.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded
receptacle of grounding type must be installed and protected
by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in accordance with
national electrical code and local codes.
6. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware
should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
NOTICE TO INSTALLER: Instructions must remain with installation.

which may interfere with the float on or off position. Repair
and service should be performed by an Authorized Service
Station only.
4. A CHECK VALVE MAY BE REQUIRED TO REDUCE UNNEC-
ESSARY CYCLING OF PUMP.
5. Dewatering pumps are not designed or intended for handling
raw sewage.
