Electrical Safety
General Safety Information
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert
and understanding how your utility pump works.
Safety Signal Words
means if the safety

seriously injured or killed.
means if the safety

seriously injured or killed.
means if the safety

indicates important
information, that if NOT followed, MAY cause damage
to the equipment or flooding.
Read and understand all
instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below COULD result in fatal electric shock, fire,
property damage, and/or serious personal injury.
• Do NOT submerge motor or allow motor
to be exposed to water. Personal injury and/or
death WILL result.
• This pump must be plugged into a properly
installed and a grounded GCFI outlet in
accordance with all applicable codes and
ordinances. NEVER remove the grounding prong
or modify the plug in any way. Do NOT use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician
if you are NOT sure the outlet is grounded. If the
pump should electrically malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
• Electrical wiring must be performed by a
qualified electrician. Improper wiring COULD
result in fatal electrical shock.
California Proposition 65
• Do NOT abuse cord. NEVER use the cord to
carry the pump or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electrical shock.
This product or its power
cord MAY contain chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating
correctly. A GFCI reduces the risk of electrical
shock.
• Do NOT use an extension cord. This increases
the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a
properly grounded outlet closer to the pump.
