Safety / Installation
6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain that all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect sump, pump and system compo-
nents. Keep them free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
8. Provide means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
lighted. Replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes that apply.
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single
phase) and is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, pull
plug before servicing. This pump has not been tested
for use in swimming pool areas. This pump is sup-
plied with a grounding conductor and grounding
attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only to a
properly grounded receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with codes and
ordinances that apply.
12. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
13. Make certain power source conforms to requirements
of your equipment.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur-
faces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace
or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. 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 electric 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.

INSTALLATION
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter of
14" (356 mm). Sump depth should be 14" (356 mm).
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 mecha-
nism 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 compound on
plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can corrode plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe and
wrap threads with Teflon
turn 1 1/2 more turns.
Risk of flooding. If flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure pump is secured in sump to
prevent movement. Failure to secure pump may
allow pump movement, switch interference and pre-
vent pump from starting or stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length
of rubber hose (1 7/8" (47.6 mm) 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: Some check valves are equipped with an
air bleed hole to prevent air from being trapped in
the pump. If using a check valve that is not equipped
with an air bleed hole, drill a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in
discharge pipe just above pump body but below the
check valve.
7. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V, 60 Hz.,
operation and requires a minimum 15 A individual
branch circuit. Both pump and switch are supplied
with 3-wire cord sets with grounding-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 grounded metal-
lic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off
round ground pin.
