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 dealer about installing a secondary sump pump,
a DC backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the
"Troubleshooting Chart" in this manual for information about
common sump pump problems and remedies. For more
information, see your dealer.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
2. Disconnect the power before servicing.
3. Release all pressure within the system before servicing
any component.
4. Drain all water from the system before servicing.
5. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An
unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing
personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Check the hoses for a weak or worn condition before
each use. Make certain all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect the sump, pump and system
components. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with
pumps.
b. Keep the 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 the workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes that apply.
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single
phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, pull plug before servicing.
Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and
10'
grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected
20'
only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
