burned out motor.
4. For maximum safety, connect pump to a
circuit equipped with a fault interrupter
devicewhenpositioningthepump’s
grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the
voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear of any debris or
sediment.
The power cable must be replaced by qualied personnel only.
Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact,
so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting the plug.
