IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLATION

Failure to follow these instructions may cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
Warranty void if product modified, drilled, painted,
or altered in any way; if used to pump hot water, or
to pump liquids other than water (such as but not
limited to chemicals, fertilizers, flammable liquids, herbicides,
mud, tar, cement, wood chips); or otherwise abused.
READ THESE RULES AND INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
WARNING: Risk of electric shock – This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment
plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a
properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. This pump has
not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. Read
instructions before installing pump.
1. Before installing or servicing your pump, BE CERTAIN
pump power source is disconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state
and local codes and must be complete before priming pump.
Check appropriate community agencies, or contact local
electrical and pump professionals.
3. CALL AN ELECTRICIAN WHEN IN DOUBT. Pump should be
connected to a separate 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
fuse block. Plugging into existing outlets may cause low
voltage at motor, causing blown fuses, tripping of motor
overload, or burned-out motor.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump to the
grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory. WATER ACE
PUMP CO. sump pumps come with a grounding conductor and
a grounding-type attachment plug. Do not connect pump to
a power supply until permanently grounded. For maximum
safety, connect pump to a circuit equipped with a fault
interrupter device.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the
pump. All WATER ACE PUMP CO. sewage pumps are factory
preset to 115V, 60 Hz.
6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any water,
debris, or sediment. WARNING: Sump basin must be
vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. WATER
ACE PUMP CO. sewage pumps are not designed for and
CANNOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous
in the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. These pumps
have not been investigated for fountain or swimming
pool areas.
7. The sump basin should be 18" in diameter and made of
plastic, fiberglass, or concrete. It must be equipped with
a gasketed, properly vented cover. Consult local plumbing
codes for correct vent size.
