grounding conductor.
• A grounding plug is included with the cord. The plug must be
plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
• Improper connection of the pump grounding conductor can
result in electric shock. The conductor with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is
the pump grounding conductor.
• If the cord and/or plug are damaged, do not connect the pump
to a live electrical outlet. Repair or replace the damaged items
as required and be sure the grounding conductor is properly
wired before reconnecting the pump to the outlet. Consult a
qualified electrician if grounding conductor wiring procedures

not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
