Safety
3. Release all pressure within system before ser-
vicing any component.
4. Drain all water from system before servicing.
5. Secure discharge line and pump before starting
pump.
Risk of flooding. Can cause
personal injury or property
damage. An unsecured pump may move in the
sump causing switch interference and prevent
the pump from starting or stopping. An unse-
cured discharge line can whip, causing personal
injury or cause the pump to move.
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before
each use, making certain all connections are
secure.
7. Inspect sump, pump and system components
monthly. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
Risk of fire or explosion. Can
cause severe injury, property
damage or death. Do not store or rest objects
on or near the motor or switch linkage. Keep
all flammable objects and liquids away from
the motor.
8. Provide means of pressure relief for pumps
whose discharge line can be shut-off or
obstructed.
9. This equipment is only for use on 115 V (single
phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-con-
ductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can
shock, burn or cause death.
The pump is supplied with a grounding con-
ductor and grounding-type attachment plug.
Make sure it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Grounded
to a suitable electrical ground such as a
grounded water pipe or a properly grounded
metallic raceway or ground wire system.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encoun-
tered, it must be replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accor-
dance with codes and orinances that apply. Do
not cut off the round grounding prong.
10. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
11. Make certain that power source conforms to
requirements of your equipment.
Risk of electrical shock and
fire. Can cause severe per-
sonal injury, property damage or death. Make
sure that power supply information
(Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump motor name-
plate matches incoming power supply exactly.
Install pump according to all electrical codes
that apply.
12. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.
13. Do not touch an operating motor. Motors can
operate at high temperatures.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the pump in a sump pit with a minimum
diameter of 12" (30 cm) and a depth of 12"
(30 cm). Sump pit may be constructed of tile,
concrete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for
approved materials.
2. Install pump on solid, level foundation, as near
as possible to centre of sump pit. Do not hang
pump from discharge pipe or power cord.
Do not lift the pump by the electrical cord; lift
pump only by the discharge pipe, lifting ring or
handle on the pump. Lifting by the cord can
damage the cord and result in fatal electric
shock.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones
and gravel which could clog the pump. Keep
pump inlet screen clear.
4. Thread discharge pipe into pump body careful-
ly to avoid stripping or crossing threads.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint com-
pound on plastic pipe or pump. Pipe joint com-
pound can attack plastics and damage pump.
Wrap the thread with Teflon
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short
length of rubber hose (1-5/8" [41 mm] I.D., e.g.
radiator hose) can be connected into discharge
line near pump using suitable clamps.
6. Locate float rod guide (Key No. 9) about 6"
(16 cm) below motor. Clamp guide to column
with screw provided.
damage. Make sure the float rod guide is
securely clamped and it can move up and
down freely. The float rod must be vertical and
not angled. An angled float rod can bind and
prevent the pump from starting.
