Risk of flooding. Make sure the pump
is stable and cannot move in the sump. If the pump
moves when it runs, the piping or sump wall may
interfere with the switch and prevent the pump
from starting or stopping.
Figure 5
Connect power supply. The pump requires a 115V,
60 Hz, 15 amp individual, grounded circuit and
should be dedicated to the sump pump. (Figures 4
and 5). The pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord set
with grounding-type plug. Plug the switch directly
into the outlet and plug the pump into the opposite
end of the switch's plug.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. Always ground the pump to a suitable
electrical ground, such as a grounded water pipe,
a properly grounded metallic raceway, or a ground
wire system. Do not cut off the round ground pin.
9. With the installation of the piping, check valve, and
float switch done, the pump is ready for operation.

Check the pump by filling the sump with water
and observing the pump's operation through
one complete cycle. For switch settings, see the
Electrical and Switch Specifications table, page 7.
operational check may lead to improper operation,
premature failure, and flooding.
During operation, make sure to follow the directions
below:
• The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication.
Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged
in water; running it dry may damage the seal.
• If the pump overheats, an automatic-reset
thermal protector cuts off the power and stops
the motor before it can be damaged. The motor
will automatically restart when it cools. If the
protector trips repeatedly, unplug the pump,
remove it from the sump, and check it for
the cause of the difficulty. Low voltage, long
extension cords, clogged impeller, very low lift,
a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., can all
cause cycling and overheating.
• This pump will not remove all the water in the
6205 1215
sump. If you are running the pump manually
and water stops coming out of the discharge,
the pump has probably run dry. Shut it off
immediately and check the water level.
