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
6, for information about common sump pump problems and
remedies.

age, read safety instructions carefully before installing
pump.

lows if pump needs servicing:

B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. To re-
duce the chance of fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT
stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
