11. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
12.
Do NOT use pump if any part of the switch
housing or probe (inside switch housing)
is cracked, broken, or missing
.
13.
This unit is NOT designed for use as a sump
pump or in sump applications. This unit is NOT

operate at high temperatures. Do not
disassemble the motor housing.
17. ALWAYS disconnect the power to
the pump before servicing.
18. Release all pressure and drain all water from
the system before servicing any component.
19. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.
An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly

limitations, and potential hazards.
25. Pump must rest flat and horizontal on a solid base.
This will aid in keeping the pump in a vertical
orientation. This is critical in keeping the
pump operating at maximum efficiency.
It will also help prevent the pump from
clogging resulting in premature failure.
