cause death. During operation the pump is in water. To
avoid fatal shocks, proceed as follows if pump needs
servicing:
8A. Ground pump according to all applicable codes and ordi-
nances.
8B. Disconnect power to outlet box or circuit breakers before
servicing.
8C. To reduce risk of electric shock, take care when changing
fuses or resetting circuit breakers. Do not stand in water
when working on control box or with circuit breakers.
Single Phase Pumps:
8D. When using cord and plug, plug into a grounded outlet with
it’s own individual branch circuit. When wiring to a system
control, connect pump ground lead to system ground.
Three Phase Pumps:
Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove cord
or strain relief. Do not connect conduit to pump.
8E. Three phase pumps are intended for permanent
connection only. Provide strain relief at control box for
power supply cord connection to box. All control compo-
nents must be UL listed and suitable for end use
application. Only qualified personnel should install and
service the pump and associated control equipment.
INSTALLATION
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by power cord. See “Cord Lift Warning” on
Page 3.
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay or
gravel surfaces. Basin must be at least 18" (458 mm) in
diameter and 30" (762 mm) deep.
