GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
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 exceeds the
pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in
the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from func-
tioning normally. To prevent possible water damage
due to flooding, consult your retailer about a sec-
ondary AC sump pump, a DC backup sump pump,
and/or a high water alarm. See the "Troubleshooting
Chart" in this manual for information about common
sump pump problems and remedies. For more infor-
mation, see your retailer, call PitMaster customer
service at 1-877-PIT-MSTR (877-748-6787).
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.

3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servic-
ing any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
