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 sym-
bol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the potential for personal
injury!

The word
NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are im-
portant 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 exceeds the
pump’s capacity, electrical 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 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 problems and remedies.
NOTICE:
This unit is not designed for applications involving salt
water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
1. To avoid risk of serious bodily injury and property damage,
read safety instructions carefully before installing pump.
2. Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical codes
when installing pump.
3.
To avoid fatal shocks, proceed as follows
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. Modern mo-
tors are designed to operate at high temperatures.
B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. To reduce
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 an individual branch circuit with a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded
outlet for cord plug.
4.
Never run pump dry.
To do so can damage internal parts,
overheat the pump (which can cause burns to people han-
dling or servicing the pump), and
will void the warranty!
5.
DO NOT
attempt to oil the pump motor. A special oil has
been put into the motor housing at the factory; use of any
other oil will void the warranty and could damage the pump.
6. This pump is recommended for use in permanent installa-
tions only. Pump water only with this pump.
