Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. If it
hould malfunction or breakdown,
s
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock. The plug must
be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
!
WARNING: 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.
!
WARNING: Check with a qualified
electrician or service person if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided with the appliance
- if it will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This pump is for use on a nominal 120volt circuit, and has a grounded plug as
illustrated in the sketch. A temporary
adapter with a grounding lug may be
used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle if a properly grounded outlet is
not available. The temporary adapter
should only be used until a properly
grounded outlet can be installed. The
green-colored rigid ear, lug, or the like,
extending from the adapter, must be
connected to a permanent ground such
as a properly grounded outlet box cover.
Whenever the adapter is used, it must be
held in place by a metal screw.
Please consult a qualified electrician if
there is question how to connect to a
ground with a 2-prong outlet. The pump
should not be plugged into this outlet if it
is not grounded.

Pump Accessory Assembly
Your Pump Accessory will work on all
IDGID brand Wet/Dry Vacuums that
R
have a drain at the bottom of the drum.
When attaching the pump to the drain of
your vacuum, you will use all of the parts
included in this kit.
1. Mount adapter onto the drain of your
Wet/Dry Vac and firmly tighten by hand.
Locate screw notch and install the
supplied #6 x 5/8-inch long screw.
NOTE: The drain adapter is now a
permanent fixture on your vacuum. Use
the original Wet/Dry Vac drain cap when
the pump is not in use.
2. Push the strainer into the large inlet of
the pump assembly. With the strainer
installed, slide the Pump Accessory
into the adapter previously installed on
the vacuum, positioning the pump in an
upright fashion. Tighten the coupler by
hand until secure.
NOTE: The connection is designed to
prohibit rotation of the pump after
installation, so proper alignment must be
achieved before the coupler has been
tightened.
3. After the pump assembly is securely

ttached to the drain, the shut-off
a
valve should be installed to the outlet
of the pump and turned to the closed
position. Without this shut-off valve,
the pump will leak through the pump
outlet. Connect a standard size garden
hose (not included), up to 50 feet in
length, to the outlet end of the shut-off
valve. Longer lengths will cause
reduced performance of the pump.

utility vac can result in foreign
objects being blown into the eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Always wear safety eyewear
complying with ANSI Z87.1 (or in
Canada, CSA Z94.3) before starting
operation. Safety eyewear are available at many local retail stores.
CAUTION:To reduce risk of hear-
!
ing damage, wear ear protectors
when using the vac for extended
hours or when using it in a noisy
area.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
Pump Accessory has a built-in GFCI
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupt) plug with
a ground connection. The plug must be
used on a properly-grounded outlet.
If the plug does not fit into the outlet,
contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
After you plug the power cord into the
outlet, you should always test the GFCI.
Press the red “RESET” button to reset
your Pump Accessory. This has to be
done each time the pump accessory is
plugged into an outlet. If the red “RESET”
indicator does NOT pop up, your unit is

have your Pump Accessory serviced.
Once you have plugged the power cord
into the outlet and the tested GFCI, you
are ready to run your pump.
NOTE: The Pump Accessory should not
be operated on the same circuit as the
Wet/Dry Vac.
