Electrical Connections
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if
required by code.
Connect the power cord to a constant source of 115 volts.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit.
• Do not connect to a fan or any device that runs intermittently.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample
capacity.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, the whole
unit must be replaced.
Pumps with a tethered or vertical float switch include
two power cords with a piggyback plug on the switch
cord.
1. Plug the pump cord into the piggyback switch cord.
2. Plug the switch cord (with pump cord attached) into a
GFCI outlet.
OPERATION TESTING
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• 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 operation and disconnected from power before
the pump runs dry.
• If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer's instructions. Failure to
install control in compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within manufacturer's
recommendations may result in electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• If pump is run dry, it may damage pump and will void the warranty.
• Do not let the unit freeze. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
NOTE: If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, refer to
