GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

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 func- tioning normally. To prevent possible water damage due to flooding, consult your retailer about a sec- ondary 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. For more infor- mation, see your retailer, call Simer customer service at 1-800-468-7867 / 1-800-546-7867.

1.Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.

2.Do not use in water with fish present. If any oil leaks out of the motor it can kill fish.

3.Disconnect power before servicing.

4.Release all pressure within system before servic- ing any component.

5.Drain all water from system before servicing.

6.Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.

7.Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

8.Periodically inspect sump, pump and system components. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.

9.Provide means of pressure relief for pumps whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

10.Personal Safety:

a.Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.

b.Keep work area clean, uncluttered and prop- erly 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.

11.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety codes that apply.

12.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
