SAFETY GUIDELINES

Carefully read, understand and follow all safety instructions in this manual. This

is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol, look for one of the following signal
words.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.

Indicates important information, that if not followed, may result in damage to
the equipment.

Safety Information

Read these warnings carefully. Know the application and limitations of this pump. Failure to
follow these warnings could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Disconnect and lockout power supply before

SAFETY GUIDELINES

removing old pump or installing or servicing this pump.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding

conductor and grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle.
For added safety, it is highly recommended to connect this pump to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter) outlet. Connect only to a receptacle that is adequately rated for the voltage and
amperage of this pump.

The installation of this pump must be in accordance with the Canadian
Electrical Code (CE code), National Plumbing Code of Canada (NPC),
International Plumbing Code (IPC) as well as all applicable local codes and ordinances.

Do not install this pump in any location classified as hazardous by the
Canadian Electrical Code (CE code)

Do not use this pump to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline,
kerosene, etc. Do not use this pump in flammable or explosive environments.
Use only with liquids compatible with pump component materials.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. This pump has not been investigated for use in
swimming pool or marine areas.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DO NOT use the power cord to remove or lower
the pump into the basin. The cord may pull apart exposing bare wires which
could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the handle supplied with the pump for installing and
removing the pump from the basin.

Do not run the pump dry. This pump relies on water for cooling. Running the
pump dry can cause the pump to overheat and the possibility of burns to
anyone that handles the pump. Running the pump dry will void the warranty.

Do not use this pump for potable/drinking water. Use only in applications for
which the pump is designed.

Do not expose pump to freezing temperatures. Discharge lines exposed to
freezing temperatures should be positioned with a downward slope to prevent
freezing.

SAFETY GUIDELINES (CONTINUED)

DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The

3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle.
If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired
and grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.

All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
Keep hands clear of suction and discharge openings. To prevent injury, never

insert fingers into pump while it is plugged in.
Sump basins must be vented according to local plumbing codes.
Do not handle this pump with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp

surfaces or in water.
If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump is secured in the

basin to prevent movement. Failure to secure the pump could result in
flooding from switch malfunction.

This pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly.

Please read this before installing or operating pump. This information is provided for your
SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. Most accidents can be avoided by using COMMON SENSE.ts.

• Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses, when working on the pump
or piping.

• Only qualified personnel should install, operate, and repair pump.

• Make sure lifting handle is securely fastened each time before lifting.

• Do not lift pump by the power cord.

• Do not exceed manufacturer’s recommendation for maximum performance, as this could cause the
motor to overheat.

• Secure the pump in its operating position so it cannot tip over, fall, or slide.

• Keep hands and feet away from impeller when power is connected.

• Any wiring of pumps should be performed by a qualified electrician.

• Cable should be protected at all times to avoid punctures, cuts, and abrasions. Inspect frequently.

• Do not remove cord and strain relief.

• Mastercraft® Canada is not responsible for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure to observe
these safety precautions, or misuse or abuse of pumps or equipment.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

CAUTION!

• Do not wear loose clothing that may become entangled in the impeller or other moving parts.

• Pumps generate heat and pressure during operation. Allow time for pumps to cool before handling or servicing.

• Keep clear of suction and discharge openings. Do not insert fingers in pump with power connected.

• Never operate a pump with a power cord that has frayed or brittle insulation.

WARNING!

• To reduce risk of electric shock, all wiring and junction connections should be made per the Canadian Electrical Code
(CEC) and applicable provincial and local codes. Requirements may vary depending on usage and location.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, always disconnect the pump from the power source before handling or servicing.

UNPACKING

• Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or missing parts. If you have
concerns please contact customer support at 1-800-689-9928.

REMOVING OLD PUMP (IF NECESSARY)

1. Remove the old pump from the basin. If you need to cut the old discharge pipe to remove
the pump, cut it as close to floor level as possible. If a check valve is attached to the pump,
be prepared for water to leak from the pipe. Allow water to drain into the sump basin.

2. Inspect the basin for accumulated mud, sand, silt or small stones. Clean out the basin if
necessary.

INSTALL NEW PUMP

1. Connect the discharge pipe to the pump discharge. Do not use pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe or plastic pump threads as this can degrade the plastic. Use non-stick tape if
necessary.

2. Install a full flow, swing type check valve (sold separately) either directly into the pump
discharge or on the discharge pipe. Make sure the check valve is positioned in the correct

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

direction of flow.

3. Place the pump on a solid, level surface in the basin. Use bricks or blocks to raise the
pump off the bottom surface. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand, silt or on rocky
surfaces as these materials can clog or damage the pump. Do not lower the pump into the
basin by the power cord or discharge pipe; use the attached handle.

4. Position the pump in the basin making sure that the float switch will operate freely without
coming in contact with the sides of the basin.

5. Once the pump is positioned in the basin, mark and cut your existing discharge pipe to
fit the height of the pump or continue installation of discharge pipe to the outside of the
building.
