This pump has an approved 3-conductor power
cord with 3-prong, grounding-type plug. Connect
the pump only to a properly grounded, 3-prong
outlet. If the sump pump circuit has a 2-prong
outlet, replace it with a grounded 3-prong outlet
installed according to code.
Unplug the pump before handling or servicing it.
If your basement floor is wet, turn off all power
before walking on it. If the shut-off box is in the
basement, call your electric company or hydro
authority to shut off service to the house, or
call your local fire department for instructions.
After turning off the power, remove the pump for
service.
Protect the electrical cords from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cords. Replace damaged or worn cords.
Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
General Safety Information
Your automatic sump pump should give years of
trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, interruption of power
to the pump, dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that
exceeds the pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical
failure in the pump, etc., may prevent normal pump
operation. To help prevent damage from flooding,
purchase a secondary AC sump pump, a DC backup
sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the
Troubleshooting section of this manual for information
about common sump pump problems and remedies. For
more information, call Pentair Flotec® customer service
at 1-800-365-6832 or visit our website at pentair.com/
flotec.
Risk of fire. Plastic pipe glue is extremely
flammable. Follow the glue manufacturer's instructions
when assembling glued plastic pipe.
Risk of burns. Motors may run hot. Allow
20 minutes to cool before handling.
• Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
• Do not use this pump in water with fish present. If
any oil leaks out of the motor it can kill fish.
• Drain the system completely before servicing it.
• To prevent a flexible discharge line from whipping,
which could cause injury or damage, fasten it
down before starting the pump.
• Before each use, check any hoses in the system
for weakness or wear. Make certain that all
connections are tight.
• Periodically inspect the sump, the pump, and the
piping for debris and foreign objects. Perform
routine cleaning as required.

— Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
— Keep your work area clean, uncluttered and
properly lighted; put away all unused tools and
equipment.
