GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

Your automatic sump pump should give years of trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained, and used. However, 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 normal pump operation. To help prevent damage from flooding, purchase a secondary AC sump pump, a DC backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm.
