This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol

on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the fol- lowing signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury.

warns about hazards that can cause serious per- sonal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

warns about hazards that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.

The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are important but not related to hazards.

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 functioning normally. To pre- vent possible water damage due to flooding, consult your dealer about installing a secondary sump pump, a DC backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this manual for information about common sump pump problems and remedies. For more information, see your dealer or call customer service at 1-800-468-7867.

1.Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards. Pump water only with this pump.

2.Do not use this pump in water with fish present. If any oil leaks out of the motor it can kill fish.

3.Disconnect the power before servicing.

4.Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.

5.Drain all the water from the system before servicing.

6.Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unse- cured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.

7.Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

8.Periodically inspect the sump, pump and system compo- nents. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform rou- tine maintenance as required.

9.Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis- charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

10.Personal Safety:

a.Wear safety glasses at all times when working 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 padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.

11.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electri- cal and safety codes that apply.

12.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding- type plug.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or

cause death. To reduce the risk of electric shock, pull the plug before servicing. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with codes and ordinances that apply.

This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

13.A ground fault circuit interrupter is recommended for use with any electrical appliance submerged in water. Installation and all wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

14.Make certain the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment.

15.Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.

16.Do not touch an operating motor. Motors can operate at high temperatures.

17.Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

Risk of electric shock. Can burn or kill. If your basement has water or moisture on floor, do not walk on the wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-off box is in the basement, call electric company or hydro authority to shut- off the service to house, or call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.

18.DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.

19.DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.

20.DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or damage motor.

21.Connect or wire the pump to an individual branch circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or circuit breakers according to the specifications.
