4.
WARNING! Always arrange a “drip loop” in the Power Cord (1) connecting the Sump Pump to a 120 volt, GFCI electrical outlet. A drip loop is that part of the Power Cord below the level of the outlet to prevent water from traveling along the Power Cord and coming in contact with the outlet. If the Power Plug or electrical outlet does get wet, do not unplug the Power Cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the Sump Pump. Then, unplug the Power Cord and examine for presence of water in the outlet. (See Figure C.)
WATER DRIPS OFF CORD,
AWAY FROM OUTLET.
