D. Use

1. Attach a rope to the pump. Set the pump on a solid, ample, horizontal base or suspend it from its handle by a rope. Never suspend or lift it by its cable. Letting the pump burrow itself in sand will ruin it.
   NOTE: LSC must be filled with water before it is started.
2. Make sure that the source of power is above flood level and away from the pump and its discharge conduit (hose or pipe), to prevent accidental shock or short circuit.

E. Maintenance

1. Rinse pump off after each use.
