Before installation, read the following instructions carefully. Each Liberty pump is individually factory tested to insure proper
performance. Closely following these instructions will eliminate potential operating problems, assuring years of trouble-free service.
Risk of electric shock. To reduce risk of electric shock, always disconnect pump from power source before handling.
The electrical connections and wiring for a pump installation should only be made by qualified personnel.
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, this receptacle may be
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Do not bypass grounding wires or remove ground prong from attachment plugs.
Do not use an extension cord.
This pump requires separate, properly fused and grounded branch circuit. Make sure the power source is properly sized for the
voltage and amperage requirements of the motor, as noted on the pump nameplate.
The electrical outlet or panel shall be within the length limitations of the pump power cord, and at least 4 feet above floor level to
minimize possible hazards from flood conditions.
The installation must be in accordance with the National Electric Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Sump and sewage pumps often handle materials which could cause illness or disease. Wear adequate protective clothing when
working on a used pump or piping.
NEVER dispose of materials such as paint thinner or other chemicals down drains, as they can chemically attack and damage
pump components, potentially causing product malfunction or failure.
Do not use these pumps in water over 140
F.
When the risk of property damage from high water levels exists, an independent high water alarm such as
Liberty’s ALM-2 and/or
a back up pump system such as
Liberty’s SJ10 SumpJet or battery backup FKIT441 should be installed.
