4. Test the operation of the pump system by following the instructions in
this manual. Do not attempt to operate the pump without water; this will damage the seals and bear-
ings and could result in permanent damage to the pump.
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 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.

OPERATION TESTING
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
•
Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump.
•
If pump is run dry, it may damage pump and void the warranty.
Test the Pump
1.
Turn on power to the pump.
2. Run water into the sump pit until the pump starts. Do not attempt to operate the pump without water;
this will damage the seals and bearings and could result in permanent damage to the pump.
Check the pump for proper operation by gently lifting the float stem to activate the motor. Release the
float stem after a few seconds.
