General Safety Information

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and understanding how your sump pump works.

Safety Signal Words

!DANGER means if the safety information is not followed someone will be seriously injured or killed.

!WARNING means if safety information is not fol- lowed someone could be seriously injured or killed.

!CAUTION means if safety information is not fol- lowed someone may be injured.

NOTICE indicates important information, that if not followed, may cause damage to the equipment or flooding.

!WARNING Read and understand all instruc- tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in fatal electric shock, fire, property damage, and/or serious personal injury.

Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the pump or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or mov- ing parts. Replace damaged cords immediate- ly. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical shock.

Pump must be plugged into an outlet recepta- cle that includes a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). In the event of current leak- age, a GFCI will trip, thus reducing the risk of seri- ous injury or death from electrical shock.

Work Area

!DANGER

Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pump motors create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while installing pump. Distractions can result in mistakes.

Electrical Safety

! WARNING

This pump must be plugged into an outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not sure the outlet is grounded. If the pump should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

Electrical wiring must be performed by a quali- fied electrician. Improper wiring could result in fatal electrical shock.

Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating cor- rectly. A GFCI reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Do not use an extension cord. This increases the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a properly grounded outlet closer to the pump.

Personal Safety

!WARNING

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when installing this pump. Do not attempt to install this pump while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med- ications. A moment of inattention may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard hat must be used for appropriate conditions.
