and begin discharging into the discharge pipe system. Initial run time is normally between 5 -10 secs. Duration of run time is generally
determined by the length of travel in the pump-out line and type of waste, Pump operation will shut down after this time. Should the pump
continue running for longer than the recommended time, an installation or manufacturing problem may exist, immediately contact SANIFLO
