Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the Basement Watchdog pumps. You will need to refer to
it before attempting any installation or maintenance.
ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible.
Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or making
adjustments.
• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface while the pump is plugged into the power source.
• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is
wired with a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain
that it is only connected to a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle. If you have a 2-
prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician replace it with a 3-prong receptacle
according to local codes and ordinances.
• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the ground prong from the plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical outlet should be within the length of the
pump’s power cord, and at least 4 feet above the floor level to minimize potential
hazards from flood conditions.
• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord.
• MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle the power
requirements noted on the nameplate of the pump.
• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.
• DO NOT expose the control unit to rain or snow.
• DO NOT operate the pump or control unit if it has been damaged in any way.
• DO NOT use sump pumps in pits handling raw sewage, salt water, or hazardous liquids.
