For your own safety - before starting to run the pump, please have the following items checked by an expert: 1. Risk of electric shock - This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding‑type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle. 2. Risk of electric shock - This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. 3. The electrical connections must be protected from moisture. 4. If there is danger of flooding, the electrical connections must be taken to higher ground. 5.
