in this manual, and the tags and decals affixed to the unit
are, therefore, not all-inclusive. If you use a procedure

Electrically powered sewage pumps normally give many
years of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances
(interruption of power to the pump, large solids 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 damage, consult your dealer about installing
a secondary sewage pump or a high water alarm. See
Troubleshooting in this manual for information about
common sewage pump problems and remedies. For
more information, see your retailer, call HYdromaTIc ®
customer service at 1-888-957-8677 or visit our web site
