General Information; Installation - Liberty Pumps SumpJet SJ10 Manuel D'installation

General Information

Ensure this manual is read and understood prior to installing and
using this pump. Each Liberty Pumps pump is individually factory
tested to ensure proper performance. Closely following these
instructions will eliminate potential operating problems, assuring
years of trouble-free service.
Liberty Pumps products are designed for minimal maintenance.
However, regular checks will ensure longer life and greater
operating reliability.
WARRANTY: No repair work should be carried out during the
warranty period without prior factory approval. To do so may
render the warranty void.
PUMP SERIAL NUMBER: In all correspondence and reports, make
certain that the pump serial number is given.
Pump Design
The Liberty Pumps SumpJet is designed for emergency backup to
an existing pump system. It uses the municipal water supply to
evacuate water from the sump. It is not intended to be used as the
primary sump water removal pump. It is intended to remove clear
sump water only.
Prolonged use of the SumpJet will result in increased municipal
water consumption. The SumpJet uses approximately 1 gallon of
water to remove 2 gallons of sump water, depending on elevation.
Optional Alarm
Liberty Pumps recommends the use of an audible high water
alarm. The model SJ10A features an alarm system to warn when
the SumpJet is activated. The model SJ10A-EYE features the
NightEye® Alarm for wireless alarm protection. If the model SJ10
was purchased without an alarm, an alarm (ALM-P1 or
ALM-P1-EYE) may be ordered from your local distributor or
contact Liberty Pumps for more information.
Inspection Upon Receipt
The shipping container should be immediately inspected for
damage that may have occurred in shipment. Exercise care in
opening the shipping container to avoid damage to the pump.
Remove any blocking and cushioning from within the container.
Check all cushioning for spare parts before discarding. Visually
check the pump and any parts for damage. Report any damage or
shortage of parts.
Storage Before Use
Liberty Pumps products are shipped from the factory ready for
installation and use. They should be held in storage if the pump
station is not complete. If storage is necessary, the pump should
remain in its shipping container. It should be stored in a
warehouse or storage shed that has a clean, dry, temperature-
stable area where the pump and its container should be covered
to protect it from water, dirt, dust, etc.
NOTICE
 At no time should the pump be stored within an incomplete
wet pit. The pump should not be placed into the pit until it
can be fully operational.

Long Term Storage
If long term storage of the SumpJet is required, it should be
stored indoors in a clean, dry temperature-stable environment.
The pump should be covered to protect it from water, dirt, dust,
etc. Do not allow the pump to freeze.
Maintenance
Installed pumps which are idle for long periods of time should be
manually operated once a month to ensure proper operation.
Check for proper operation of the float and clean any debris that
may be on the float or the suction screen. Make sure that the float
operates freely without any restrictions.
