Congratulations!
Congratulations
You have just purchased one of the finest quality pumps
available in the industry. It was developed after years
of experience, research and testing by our research
staff. Its motor, electronics and seals were specifically
designed and manufactured by Rule Industries to give
years of reliable, trouble-free performance.
How This Pump Works
Rule Automatic Sump and Utility Pumps turn on and check
for water approximately every 2-1/2 minutes. During this
"check", the pump runs for about one second and checks for
resistance or drag against the impeller. If resistance (water)
is found, it will run for as long as water is present. When all
the water is pumped out, the pump shuts off and returns to
its 2-1/2 minute test cycle. The pump can be started at any
time by disconnecting it from the power source, waiting five
seconds and reconnecting.
Please read and follow the instructions carefully and your
pump will provide you with the maximum output for which
it was designed.
