RISK OF FIRE
DO NOT use an extension cord to power the pump. Extension cords can overload both the pump and
extension cord supply wires. Overloaded wires will get very hot and can catch on fire.
This pump requires a separate, properly fused and grounded branch circuit, sized for the voltage and
amperage requirements of the pump, as noted on the nameplate. Overloaded branch circuit wires will get
very hot and can catch on fire.
NEVER use this product with or near flammable liquids. If the rotating elements inside this pump strike any
foreign object, sparks may occur. Sparks could ignite flammable liquids.
DO NOT install this pump in locations classified as hazardous or in explosive atmospheres as defined by any
applicable electrical safety code.
RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
The pump must be installed in accordance with all applicable codes and ordinances.
DO NOT allow children to play with the pump.
DO NOT allow children, or any person who is unqualified to use the pump. Any person who is unaware of the
dangers of this pump, or whom has not read this manual, can easily be injured by the pump.
Wear adequate PPE when working on pumps or piping that have been exposed to wastewater. Sump and
sewage pumps often handle materials which can transmit illness or disease upon contact with your skin and
other tissues.
DO NOT remove any tags or labels from the pump or its cord.
NEVER enter a pump basin after it has been used. Sewage and effluent can emit poisonous gases. Inhaling
these gases can cause serious damage to respiratory and central nervous systems, or death.
ALWAYS, keep clear of the pump’s suction and discharge openings. The rotating elements of this pump can
easily draw in and cause injury or damage foreign objects.
Never insert fingers into pump while it is energized. An energized pump may start without warning, for
example, when the pump cools after it has thermally overloaded. The rotating elements of this pump can
easily dismember your fingers.
This pump has been evaluated for use with water only, however use with human waste and toilet paper is
permitted.
DO NOT use this product to pump corrosive liquids. Pump components can be damaged from corrosive
liquids and cause product malfunction or failure.
NEVER dispose of materials such as paint thinner or other chemicals down drains. Doing so could
chemically attack and damage pump components and cause product malfunction or failure.
DO NOT use pumps with fluid over 40
C.
Operating the pump in fluid above this temperature can overheat
the pump, causing the thermal overload to cut the power to the unit. Flooding can occur until the pump cools
enough to allow the thermal protector to re-supply the pump with power.
DO NOT use pumps with mud, sand, cement, oil or chemicals. Pump components can be damaged from
these items causing product malfunction or failure. Additionally, flooding can occur if these items jam the
impeller or piping.
DO NOT modify the pump in any way. Modifications may affect seals, change the electrical loading of the
pump, or damage the pump and its components. Modifications can void your warranty on this product.
DO NOT run this pump dry.
