• NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested to UL Standard UL778. CSA
certied pumps are certied to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108. (CUS.)
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor (GFCI).
Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Follow all local electrical and safety codes, as well as the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Do not kink power cable, and never allow the cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces,
chemicals, or sharp objects. Replace damaged or worn wiring cord immediately.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory
Listed circuit analyzer, which will indicate if the power, neutral, and ground wires are correctly connected to
your outlet. If they are not, contact a licensed electrician.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of
electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN.
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor (GFCI).
• ELECTRICAL SHOCK ALERT.
Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A
separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according the National Electrical Code for the current shown
on the pump name plate.
• CHEMICAL ALERT.

1. The most common application is for draining
bathroom waste water.
This pump is designed to shred ushable
solids such as toilet paper, paper towels,
feminine hygiene products and baby wipes.
It can replace traditional sewage pumps
when pumping to a pressurized sewer
main. These pumps are not recommended
for pumping from a residence to a septic
tank. They are designed to pump long
distances (750 feet or more) and/or high lifts
(minimum of 30 feet).
2. These pumps are shipped with a float switch which
attaches to the discharge pipe. The pump will turn
on automatically when the water level in the basin
reaches the “on” level of the switch.

6. Attach the switch securely to the discharge pipe so
that incoming water does not interfere with switch
movement. The best place for the ‘off’ point is above
the motor housing and 180° from the inlet. Never put
the ‘off’ point below the pump discharge.
4. Install rigid 1-1/4 in. discharge pipe (not included)
according to local, regional, and state codes.
