IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONSBEFORE INSTALLATION
Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
• Pumps are 115 V, 60 Hz and are grounded to prevent electrical shock.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock—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.
• Use a separate 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block with the pump.
•Do not use an extension cord with the pump.

outlets may cause low voltage at motor, causing blown fuses, tripping of
motor overload, or burned out motor.
4. Do not connect pump to a power supply until permanently grounded. For max-
imum safety, ground pump to a circuit equipped with a fault interrupter device.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any water, debris, or sediment.
WARNING: Sump basin must be vented in accordance with local
plumbing codes. Honda WSP pumps are not designed for and CAN
NOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous in the National
