General Safety Information

Electrically powered sump pumps normally
give many years of trouble-free service when
correctly installed, maintained, and used.
However, unusual circumstances (interruption
of power to the pump, dirt/debris in the sump,
flooding that exceeds the pump's capacity,
electrical or mechanical failure in the
pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from
functioning normally. To prevent possible
water damage due to flooding, consult your
retailer about a secondary AC sump pump, a
DC backup sump pump, and/or a high water
alarm. See Troubleshooting in this manual
for information about common sump pump
problems and remedies. For more information,
see your retailer, call Simer customer service
at 1-800-486-7867 or visit our website
at simerpump.com.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
2. Do not use in water with fish present.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before
servicing any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump.
An unsecured discharge line will whip,
possibly causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition
before each use, making certain that all
connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect sump, pump and system
components. Keep free of debris and foreign
objects. Perform routine maintenance
as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief for pumps
whose discharge line can be shut-off
or obstructed.
10. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when
working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and
properly lighted – replace all unused tools
and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from
work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with
padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump,
follow all electrical and safety codes
that apply.
