ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. grounded tools must be plugged into a gFCI (ground Fault Circuit Interrupt-
er) outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all 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 in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should
electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user.
2. double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges,
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
4. do not abuse the Power Cord. never use the Power Cord to carry the Sump
Pump or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immedi-
ately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSOnAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-
ing this product. Do not use the Sump Pump while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
this product may result in serious personal injury.
2. 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.
3. Use safety equipment. Wear AnSI-approved safety impact goggles when
assembling this product. Non-skid safety shoes must be used for appropriate
conditions.
TOOL USE And CARE
1. disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Sump Pump. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.

equate surrounding space. Always keep the area free of obstructions, grease, oil,
trash, and other debris. Do not use an electrically powered product in areas near
flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.
5.
Risk of electrical shock. Always disconnect the Pump from its power
source before handling or making any adjustments to the tool. Always
wear non-skid rubber boots when water is on the floor and you must
unplug the Pump. Make sure the electrical power source is a separate-
ly fused, grounded, 3-wire type gFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. do
not remove the ground prong on the Power Cord Plug. do not use an exten-
sion cord.

This Pump is designed to move clean or dirty water only. Do not pump water
hotter than 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Make sure the discharge pipe (not included) is secured to a solid surface to
ensure the stability of the Pump.
8. Make sure to position the Pump on a flat, level, solid surface.
9. Arrange a “drip loop” in the Power Cord connecting the Pump to a 115 volt,
gFCI electrical outlet. A drip loop is that part of the Power
Cord below the level of the outlet to prevent water from

10. If necessary, have a certified electrician install (within 10 feet of where the
Pump will be located) a 115 volt, gFCI electrical outlet that is dedicated only
to the Pump. Any outlet should be above the water line.
11. nEVER raise or lower the Pump by its electrical Power Cord.
12. In cold weather, when the Pump is not in use, protect the interior of the Pump
from freezing by draining the water and pumping a permanent type automo-
bile anti-freeze containing a rust inhibitor through the system. A 50% mixture
with water is recommended. Be sure to flush the system with a neutralizing liquid
prior to re-use of the Pump.
13. If an extension cord is used (for temporary use only) connections must not
come in contact with water or any wet surfaces.
14. Prior to use, and periodically thereafter, check to make sure all connections
are tight and secure.
15. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
16. Performance of this product may vary depending on variations in local line
voltage.

dition. Always replace a damaged
extension cord or have it repaired by
a qualified electrician before using it.
8. Protect the extension cords from
sharp objects, excessive heat, and
damp or wet areas.
Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire
extension cord. Double Insulated

2. As the distance from the supply outlet
increases, you must use a heavier
gauge extension cord. Using exten-
sion cords with inadequately sized
wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and pos-
sible tool damage.
