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

B. Take extreme
care when
changing
fuses. To reduce the chance of fatal electrical
shocks, DO NOT
stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.
C. Ground
the electrical outlet box.
D. Use only

a grounded

outlet

for cord plug.

E. Do not handle pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

SUMP

the basement
may bc tiled into tile sump. Drain tile around
a house foundation
can also be tiled into the sump, effectively removing
water and relieving pressure from this area.
A suitable sump can be a 2(1" or 24" sewer tile. Sump must
be at least 12" in diameter.

A sump cover is desirable to exclude refuse from the sump.
Consult local code for sump cover specifications.

Risk of flooding.
If a flexible
discharge
hose is used, pump
may move around
in sump
when
motor starts.
If it moves far enough so that the
switcb bits the side of the sump, the switch may stick and
prevent pump fi'om starting. Make sure that pump is secured so tbat it cannot "walk around" in sump.

NOTE: To avoid backflow into tile sump when the pump
shuts off, install a Check Valve, SEARSStock No. 2789, in the
threaded discharge port of pump (390.303302) or l-1/2"xl1/4" reducer bushing (390.303491 ). Reducer bushing is included with Model 390.303491. Be sure arrow on check
valve body points away from the pump. This Check Valve is
equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking the
pump. If using any other check valve, drill 1/8" (3.2 ram)
hole in discharge pipe just above pump body but below
check valve to prevent air locks.
Use 1-1/4" plastic pipe from Hose Kit No. 27909 for the discharge pipe. Run the discharge pipe to the nearest sewer
outlet or other point of disposal. Use the most direct route
with the fewest turns and elbows possible.
Use Teflon tape to seal threads in plastic pipe. Hand tighten
only.
