Installation and Operation 3

To reduce risk of electric shock, pull

plug before servicing. This pump has not been

investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor

and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it

is connected only to a properly grounded

grounding-type receptacle.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encoun-

tered, it must be replaced with properly

grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accor-

dance with codes and ordinances that apply.

13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified

electrician.

14. Make certain power source conforms to require-

ments of your equipment.

15. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot

surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord.

Replace or repair damaged or worn cords

immediately.

16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors

can operate at high temperatures.

17. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet

hands or when standing on wet or damp surface,

or in water.

Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or kill.

If your basement has water or moisture on floor, do

not walk on wet area until all power has been

turned off. If shut-off box is in basement, call elec-

tric company or hydro authority to shut-off service

to house, or call your local fire department for

instructions. Remove pump and repair or replace.

Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal

electrical shock.

Do not lift pump by power cord.

FLOAT SWITCH INSTALLATION

Models equipped with vertical switches require some

assembly. See the Switch Assembly instructions on

Page 4.

INSTALLATION

1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter

of 10" (254mm). Sump depth should be 10”

(254mm). Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,

steel or plastic. Check local codes for approved

materials and for proper installation.

2. Install pump in pit so that switch operating

mechanism has maximum possible clearance.

3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or

sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones

and gravel which could clog pump. Keep pump

inlet screen clear.

NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint com-

pound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can

attack plastics.

4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe

and wrap threads with Teflon

tape. Screw pipe

into pump hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns.

Risk of flooding. If a flexible dis-

charge hose is used, make sure pump is

secured in sump to prevent movement. Failure

to secure pump may allow pump movement,

switch interference and prevent pump from

starting or stopping.

5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short

length of rubber hose (1-7/8" (47.6mm) I.D., e.g.

radiator hose) can be connected into discharge

line near pump using suitable clamps.

6. Install an in-line check valve or an in-pump check

valve to prevent flow backwards through pump

when pump shuts off.

NOTICE: Check valves should be equipped with

an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking pump. If

not, drill a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in discharge pipe

just above where the discharge pipe screws into

the pump discharge. Be sure the hole is below

the waterline and the check valve to prevent air

locks.

7. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V., 60

Hz., operation and requires a minimum 15 amp

individual branch circuit. Both pump and switch

are supplied with 3-wire cord sets with ground-

ing-type plugs. Switch plug is inserted directly

into outlet and pump plug inserts into opposite

end of switch plug.

Pump should always be electrically

grounded to a suitable electrical ground such

as a grounded water pipe or a properly ground-

ed metallic raceway, or ground wire system.

Do not cut off round ground pin.

8. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-

freezing atmosphere, portion of line exposed

must be installed so any water remaining in pipe

will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do

this can cause water trapped in discharge to

freeze which could result in damage to pump.

9. After piping, check valve and float switch have

been installed, the unit is ready for operation.

10. Check the pump operation by filling sump with

water and observing pump operation through one

complete cycle. For switch settings see the Electrical

and Switch Specifications chart on Page 2.

Failure to make this operational check

may lead to improper operation, premature

failure, and flooding.
