MONTHLY MANDATORY CHECK-UP :
1. Inspect the pump and the sump for any obvious condition that necessitates cleaning, correction, adjustement or repair.
2. Clear the sump and the surroundings of any paper, leaves or other debris that might clog the input openings. Remove anything that
might float into the suction area.
3. Assure that the pump is secure and vertical for proper operation.
4. Assure that there is adequate clearance from any combustible materials or structure. Stored materials must be kept away from the
pump. Shelves or cabinet structures must not be in close proximity over the pump.
5. Test the ‘GFCI’ outlet by pressing its test switch. This should prove that the outlet is energized and will trip off to protect against a
ground fault. Be sure to reset the ‘GFCI’ by pressing its reset switch.
6. Lift the float to prove that the pump will start when required. (Step 8 below will test submersible pumps with enclosed floats).
7. Put the necessary pail of water in the sump to prove that any check valve present will permit effluent to flow.
8. Observe that the plumbing can carry the effluent safely out of the residence.
