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.
