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 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 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 or call customer service at 1-800-535-4950.
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 the water from the system before servicing.
5. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unse-
cured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal
injury and/or property damage.
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use,
making certain that all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect the sump, pump and system compo-
nents. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform rou-
tine maintenance as required.
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis-
charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
b. Keep 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 workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electri-
cal and safety codes that apply.
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt and is equipped
with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-
type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause
death.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, pull the plug
before servicing. Pump is supplied with a grounding conduc-
tor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is connect-
ed only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with codes and ordinances that apply.
This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming
pool areas.
12. A ground fault circuit interrupter is recommended for use
with any electrical appliance submerged in water. Installation
and all wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
13. Make certain the power source conforms to the requirements
of your equipment.
