DESCRIPTION
Submersible 10S Series Sewage Ejector Pumps and 10E Series
Effluent Pumps are recommended for use in basins or lift sta-
tions and are suitable for pumping sewage, effluent, wastewater,
and other non-explosive, non-corrosive liquids. The 10S Series
Sewage Ejector Pumps have 2" spherical solids handling capa-
bility. The 10E Series Effluent Pumps have 3/4" spherical solids
handling capability.
Automatic operation can be achieved with the use of the RFS
Remote Float Switch. Other accessories such as basins, check
valves, and covers are also available.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Your pump is equipped with a 3-prong electrical plug. The third
prong is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical shock
hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. A separate
branch circuit is recommended. Do not use an extension cord.
When a pump is in a basin, etc., do not touch motor, pipes or
water until unit is unplugged or shut off. If shut-off box is not
accessible, call the electric company to shut off service to the
house, or call your local fire department for instructions. Failure to
follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
The flexible PVC jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump
must not be modified in any way, with the exception of shorten-
ing the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the
pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box
and mounted outside of the basin, and comply with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or

low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump.
1. Read all instructions and Safety Guidelines thoroughly. Failure
to follow the guidelines and instructions could result in serious
bodily injury and/or property damage.
2. DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. DO
NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES OR HAZARDOUS
LOCATIONS AS CLASSIFIED BY NEC, ANSI/NFPA70. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS WARNING CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
3. During normal operation the sump pump is immersed in
water. Also, during rain storms, water may be present in the
surrounding area of the pump. Caution must be used to pre-
vent bodily injury when working near the pump:
a. The plug must be removed from the receptacle prior to
touching, servicing or repairing the pump.
b. To minimize possible fatal electrical shock hazard, extreme
care should be used when changing fuses. Do not stand in
water while changing fuses or insert your finger into the fuse
socket.
4. Do not run the pump in a dry basin. If the pump is run in a dry
basin, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high
level. This high level could cause skin burns if the pump is
touched and will cause serious damage to your pump.
5. Do not oil the motor. The pump housing is sealed. A high
grade dielectric oil devoid of water has been put into the motor
housing at the factory. Use of other oil could cause serious
electric shock and/or permanent damage to the pump.
6. This pump's motor housing is filled with a dielectric oil for
motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings.
This oil is non-toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation can
occur if oil is left on the water surface. If oil escapes the motor
housing it can be removed from the surface quickly by placing
newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.
7. In any installations where property damage and/or personal
injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to
power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason,
a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
