GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
READ AND FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
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
prevent possible water damage due to flooding, consult your
retailer about a secondary AC 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.
Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Release all pressure within system before servicing any
component.
Drain all water from system before servicing.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at
Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured
discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use,
making certain that all connections are secure.
Periodically inspect sump, pump, and system components. Keep
free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance
as required.
