3.If all of the pump's electrical requirements have been met, place thecircuit breaker or powerON/OFF switchintheON position.

4.Wait a few seconds and water should begin to flow from the discharge hose.

5.If water is not flowing from the discharge hose or not flowing freely after a few minutes, remove the power from the pump and check the system for leaks.

6.To stop the pump from pumping, place the circuit breaker or ON/OFF switch in the OFF position.

DANGER

NEVER! grab or touch a live power cord (Figure 10). DO NOT stand in water when connecting the pump's power cord into a voltage source. The possibility exists of electrical shock, electrocution and possibly death!
