2.  If the water level sinks too low, any sludge in the basin will dry out and stop the pump from starting. To help ensure the pump will start as required, check the pump regularly with start-up tests.

Power Supply

1. The pump is equipped with a shock-proof plug according to regulations. The pump is designed to be connected to 120 VAC, 60 Hz GFCI protected socket.
2. Make sure that the socket is sufficiently secured and is in excellent condition.
3.  When the plug is inserted into the socket, the pump will be on standby.
4. WARNING: To prevent death from electric shock, pump must be connected only to a GFCI protected outlet.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: If the power cord or plug is damaged, do not use the pump. The power cord or plug may only be repaired by a certified electrician.
