DANGER
Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not
use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable
liquids can cause explosion or fire, resulting in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Always disconnect the pump from its power source before installing, inspecting, maintaining, or repairing.
Do not stand in water when the pump is connected.
Do not touch the pump while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT and can cause serious burns.
Do not disassemble the motor housing. The motor has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembling
may cause oil leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues and will void warranty.
WARNING
Never touch any electrical device, including this pump, when it is touching water, in water, or even in a
moist environment. Always unplug (disconnect the electricity) when working on or installing the unit.
WARNING
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
WARNING
Do not use the power cord or discharge hose to carry or handle the pump. Doing so may cause damage
to the power cord or discharge hose. Use the handle on this pump.
WARNING
Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the
workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
NOTICE
This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-
prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong
outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
WARNING
For safety, the pump motor has an automatic resetting thermal protector that automatically will turn off
the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and will void the warranty.
Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow the pump
to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
