INTRODUCTION
Please read our instructions before you install and use your
new pump; this will help you obtain full value and good ser-
vice from it. It will also help you avoid needless service costs
that result from causes we cannot control and cannot cover
in our warranty.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual or on pump.
This is the safety alert symbol.
When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the potential for per-
sonal injury!
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The word
NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are
important but not related to hazards.
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 ex-
ceeds 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 local Sears store about installing a secondary
sump pump or a DC backup sump pump. See “Service”,
Page 5, for information about common sump pump prob-
lems and remedies.
1.
Read these Instructions and Safety Rules carefully.
Failure to follow them could cause serious bodily injury
and/or property damage.
2. Check your local Electrical and Plumbing Codes before
installing pump. You must comply with their rules.
Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
Pump water only with this pump.
Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are de-
signed to run at high temperatures.
Risk of electric shock. Proceed as fol-
lows if pump needs servicing:
A. Disconnect power to pump outlet box before
pulling pump cord plug!
After plug is pulled, let
pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to work
on it.
B. Take extreme care when changing fuses.
To re-
duce the chance of fatal electrical shocks,
DO NOT
stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground
the electrical outlet box.
D. Use only a grounded outlet
for cord plug.
E.
Do not handle pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
3. Never run pump dry. To do so can damage internal parts,
overheat the pump (which can cause burns to people
handling or servicing the pump), and will void the war-
ranty!
FIRE HAZARD – Do not store or rest ob-
jects on or near motor or switch linkage. Keep all
flammable objects or liquids away from motor.
4. This pump is recommended for use in permanent instal-
lations only. Do not install on clay, earth, or sand surfaces.
Pump must be level (column must be verti-
cal) when operating. If motor is tilted, internal start/run
switch may overheat and damage motor.
