SAFETY
SAFETY
WARNING
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene,
ethanol, etc. Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapours.
Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause explosion or fire,
resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
• Always disconnect the pump from its power source before installing, inspecting,
maintaining, or repairing.
• Do not stand in water when the pump is connected.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT
and can cause serious skin burns.
• Do not disassemble the motor housing. The motor has NO repairable internal
parts, and disassembling may cause oil leakage or dangerous electrical wiring
issues.
CAUTION
• This pump was designed exclusively for SEWAGE WATER TRANSFER
applications, i.e., transferring water with 2” (5 cm) suspended, stringy solids in
it, and NOT to pump clear water from sump pits, hot water applications, water
fountain/features applications, etc.
• Call an electrician when in doubt. The pump should be connected to a separate
15 A circuit breaker or 15 A fuse block. Plugging into existing outlets may cause
low voltage at the motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor
overload or a burned out motor.
• This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide
trouble-free service for a long time when properly installed, maintained, and
used. However, inadequate electrical power to the pump, dirt, or blockage by ice
or debris may cause the pump to fail, eventually bringing about additional water
damage. To minimize the potential for water damage due to pump failure,
please carefully read the manual and follow the instructions regarding common
pump problems and remedies or call 1-800-689-9928.
• This pump has not been tested or approved for use in swimming pools or in
salt-water marine areas. It is also not engineered to be run continuously as a
“fountain” or “waterfall” pump. Because this pump has an oil-filled motor, it
should NOT be used in water containing fish. Pump only water with this pump.
• For safety, the pump motor has an automatic resetting thermal protector that
automatically will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this
feature will damage the pump and will void the warranty.

SAFETY
• Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe
temperature, it will allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged
in, it may restart unexpectedly.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of
the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
4. Release all pressure (drain all water) within system before servicing any
component.
5. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will
whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud
and sand during operation to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent
clogging and premature pump failure.
7. Check that all pipe connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor.
Extension cords present a life threatening safety hazard if the insulation
becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 15 A or larger
fuse or circuit breaker.
11. Periodically inspect the pump and system components to be sure the pump
inlets are free of mud, sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code
(NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), and in the workplace, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or the Canadian Centre for
Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 V (single phase), 60 Hz, and is
equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO
NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong
plug must be directly inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong,
grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a 2-prong wall outlet.
Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a
GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the NEC or CEC and local codes and
ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

the water lowers to a certain
level, the float switch (1) will turn
the pump off.
1Connecting power.
Plug the pump power cord
plug into the piggy-back
switch plug outlet.
Plug the switch plug into a
115 V GFCI power outlet.
Allow pump to operate
through several on-off cycles.
