room for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing temperatures and good
ventilation should be considered as well, to provide the pump an environment for
long life. Do not use to pump gas or toxic fuels. This submersible sump pump is
designed to pump water only.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when the
horizontal offset is greater than 50 feet. The discharge pipe should be increased from
1 1/2" to 2". This will reduce friction losses and allow the pump to give maximum
performance.
More friction losses must also be taken into consideration when many elbows and
fittings are installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be considered
as 1 feet of head.
T he float switch of your pump has been pre-set at the factory and does not need any
adjustment.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur. Fill pump pit or sump
basin with water before turning on the power.
