Pumping sand, gravel, and other hard debris will shorten the life of the

pump). Elevate the pump with bricks or other support above the sump, pit or

pond bottom if debris is present. Consult dealer for other fluids.

set cannot be more or less than μ5% of the rated voltage on the pump.

• Maximum distance from power source and pump must not exceed 100 feet

using 16/3 electrical cables. This distance is from the breaker box and
