This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this

symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the
following signal words and be alert to the potential for per-
sonal injury!

_ warns about hazards that will cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

[_WARNING_ warns about hazards that can cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

[A CAUTION ] warns about hazards that will or can cause

minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
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 ex-
ceeds 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 local Sears store about installing a secondary
sump pump or a DC backup sump pump. See "Service",
Page 5, for information about common sump pump prob-

lems and remedies.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving

salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void

warranty.

Failure to lollow them could cause serious bodily injuD.'
and/or property damage.

THE SUMP

Tbe sump should be located at tile lowest place in tim base-
ment or area to be drained. Floor drains from other areas in

the basement may bc tiled into tile sump. Drain tile around
a house foundation can also be tiled into the sump, effec-

tively removing water and relieving pressure from this area.

be at least 12" in diameter.

A sump cover is desirable to exclude refuse from the sump.
Consult local code for sump cover specifications.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Check your local Electrical and Plumbing ('odes before in-
stalling pump. You nlust comply with their rules.

Set tile pump on the bottom of the stlnlp, luakiug sure that

it sits solidly and is level. Be sure there is cnotlgh space

arottlld the punlp to allow tile s\vitc]l I'ree MOVelncnt as

tile stlnlp veater level cllallgCS I)o not Jllstall un clay,

earth, or salld

_" CAUTION Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge

hose is used, pump may move around in sump

when motor starts. If it moves far enough so that the
switcb bits the side of the sump, the switch may stick and

prevent pump fi'om starting. Make sure that pump is se-

cured so tbat it cannot "walk around" in sump.

NOTE: To avoid backflow into tile sump when the pump
shuts off, install a Check Valve, SEARSStock No. 2789, in the

threaded discharge port of pump (390.303302) or l-1/2"xl-

1/4" reducer bushing (390.303491 ). Reducer bushing is in-

cluded with Model 390.303491. Be sure arrow on check
valve body points away from the pump. This Check Valve is

equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking the
pump. If using any other check valve, drill 1/8" (3.2 ram)
hole in discharge pipe just above pump body but below
check valve to prevent air locks.

Use 1-1/4" plastic pipe from Hose Kit No. 27909 for the dis-
charge pipe. Run the discharge pipe to the nearest sewer
outlet or other point of disposal. Use the most direct route
with the fewest turns and elbows possible.

Use Teflon tape to seal threads in plastic pipe. Hand tighten
only.
