wear nonskid rubber boots when water is on the floor and you must unplug the
Sump Pump. Never allow the Motor to get wet. Make sure the electrical power
source is a separately fused, grounded, 3-wire type GFCI outlet of 15 AMP
capacity. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG OR PLUG. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.
4. WARNING! Always arrange a “drip loop” in the Power Cord (1)
connecting the Sump Pump to a 120 volt, GFCI electrical outlet. A drip loop is
that part of the Power Cord below the level of the outlet to prevent water from
traveling along the Power Cord and coming in contact with the outlet. If the Power
Plug or electrical outlet
does
get wet, do not unplug the Power Cord. Disconnect
the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the Sump Pump. Then, unplug
the Power Cord and examine for presence of water in the outlet. (See Figure C.)

6. Make sure the discharge hose (not included) is secured to a solid surface to
ensure the stability of the Sump Pump.
7. Make sure to position the Base of the Sump Pump on a flat, level surface.
8.
If necessary,
have a certified electrician install a 120 volt, grounded, GFCI
electrical outlet that is dedicated only to the Pump. Any outlet should be
above the water line.
9. NEVER raise or lower the Sump Pump by its electrical Power Cord. Firmly
attach the accessory polypropylene Rope to the Handle of the Sump Pump. Use
the Rope only to raise or lower the Sump Pump.
