Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
• Pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce
risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type
receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to
help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are prop-
erly connected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not remove the third prong from the plug, or cut plug from cord. These actions will void the war-
ranty.
• Do not use an extension cord.

Wiring Guidelines

Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
device if required by code.
The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or equipment
in the circuit. The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
• RL-SC Series breaker size = 15 A

Power Supply

Automatic Pump Operation
Pumps with a tethered or vertical float switch include two power cords with a piggyback
plug on the switch cord. For automatic operation, plug the pump cord into the piggyback
switch cord. Plug the switch cord (with pump cord attached) into a GFCI outlet.
Manual Pump Operation
For manual operation, disconnect the pump cord from the float switch piggyback plug.
Plug the pump cord directly into a dedicated GFCI receptacle.
Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a
large volume of water is to be pumped.
The pump must be continuously monitored during manual operation and disconnected from power before
the pump runs dry. If the pump is run dry, it may damage the pump and void the warranty.
