GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING! Read all instructions

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

re, and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your line-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit.1. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite

accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the pres-2.

ence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. 3.

Distractions can cause you to lose control. Children and other unauthorized peo-

ple should not be allowed in the work area.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded tools must be plugged into a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt-1.

er) outlet, properly installed, and grounded in accordance with all codes and

ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you

are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should

electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to

carry electricity away from the user.

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider 2.

than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the

plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t,

contact a qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change

the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire

grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, 3.

and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.

Do not abuse the Power Cord.4. Never use the Power Cord to carry the Sump

Pump or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat,

oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immedi-

ately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat-1.

ing this product. Do not use the Sump Pump while tired or under the inu-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating

this product may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. 2.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Use safety equipment. Wear ANSI-approved safety impact goggles when 3.

assembling this product. Non-skid safety shoes must be used for appropriate

conditions.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any 1.

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Sump Pump. Such pre-

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the unit accidentally.

Store idle equipment out of reach of children and other untrained persons. 2.

Electrically-powered products are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and 3.

any other condition that may affect this product’s operation. If damaged,

have the Sump Pump serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by

poorly maintained equipment.

SERVICE

Service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. 1. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing this product, use only identical replacement parts. Follow 2.

instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Pump.1. These carry important informa-

tion. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. Wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye goggles when assembling

the Pump. Using personal safety devices reduce the risk for injury.
Safety impact eye goggles are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

Use the right product for the job. 3. There are certain applications for which this

product was designed. Do not use small tools, attachments, or equipment to do

the work of larger industrial tools, attachments, or equipment.

Maintain a safe environment. 4. Keep the area well lit. Make sure there is ad-

equate surrounding space. Always keep the area free of obstructions, grease, oil,

trash, and other debris. Do not use an electrically powered product in areas near

ammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.

5. Risk of electrical shock. Always disconnect the Pump from its power

source before handling or making any adjustments to the tool. Always

wear non-skid rubber boots when water is on the oor and you must

unplug the Pump. Make sure the electrical power source is a separate-

ly fused, grounded, 3-wire type GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet. Do

not remove the ground prong on the Power Cord Plug. Do not use an exten-

sion cord.

Do not pump hazardous materials. 6. Do not pump explosive or ammable ma-

terials such as fuel, oil, kerosene, gasoline, etc. Do not pump in close proximity

to ammable or explosive materials. Do not pump fats, oils, salt or waste water.

hotter than 95 degrees Fahrenheit.

Make sure the discharge pipe 7. (not included) is secured to a solid surface to

ensure the stability of the Pump.

Make sure to position the Pump on a at, level, solid surface.8.

9. Arrange a “drip loop” in the Power Cord connecting the Pump to a 115 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 Pump. Then,

unplug the Power Cord and examine for presence of water

in the outlet. (See Drip Loop, right.)

If necessary,10. have a certied electrician install (within 10 feet of where the

Pump will be located) a 115 volt, GFCI electrical outlet that is dedicated only

to the Pump. Any outlet should be above the water line.

NEVER raise or lower the Pump by its electrical Power Cord.11.

In cold weather, when the Pump is not in use, protect the interior of the Pump 12.

from freezing by draining the water and pumping a permanent type automo-

bile anti-freeze containing a rust inhibitor through the system. A 50% mixture

with water is recommended. Be sure to ush the system with a neutralizing liquid

prior to re-use of the Pump.

If an extension cord is used (for temporary use only) connections must not 13.

come in contact with water or any wet surfaces.

Prior to use, and periodically thereafter, check to make sure all connections 14.

are tight and secure.

Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.15.
