GENERAL SAFETY

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, elec-
trical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.) may
prevent your pump from functioning normally. To pre-
vent 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
the "Troubleshooting Chart" in this manual for infor-
mation about common sump pump problems and reme-
dies. For more information, see your retailer or call

Risk of flooding. If a flexible
discharge hose is used, pump
may move when motor starts. If it moves far
enough so that switch hits side of sump, switch
may stick and prevent pump from starting.Make sure
pump is secured so it cannot move around in sump.
5. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
