YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY
INFORMATION. FAILURE

DESCRIPTION
This pump automatically removes condensate dripping off an air
conditioner evaporative coil. It is controlled by a float/switch mech-
anism that turns the pump on when approximately 2-1/4" of water
collects in the tank, and turns the pump off when the tank drains to
approximately 1-1/4".
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Use
only with liquids compatible with pump component materials.
Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or ground-
ing type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded grounding
type receptacle.
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.
Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.

CAREFULLY BEFORE

HAZARDS. PROTECT
TO COMPLY WITH THESE
Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fail, motor
bearing failures etc.
Do not install this pump in a manner that will subject it to splash-
ing or spraying.
Do not install this pump inside air plenums.
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing pump, allow air conditioner to cycle
several times, collecting condensate in a separate container to
help flush any residual oils that may remain in the system.
2. Carefully unpack the pump. Remove the cardboard insert
(Figure 1) from the motor cover air slots by carefully pulling
it away from the pump. This insert is used to prevent switch
movement during shipment. The pump will not operate with
the insert in place.
3. The tank has two slots provided to mount the unit. The slots
are located on the ends of the tank (Figure 2). The unit should
be mounted either on the side of the air conditioner unit or
nearby wall. Pump must be level and the inlet must be below
the coil drain. Conduit fittings are not compatible with the
plastic pump housing.
4. Run flexible tubing or pipe from evaporator drain into one of
the three pump inlets. Be sure inlet piping is sloped downward
to allow gravity flow (Figure 3). Extend the inlet piping into the
tank from 1 to 3 inches to ensure that it will not interfere with
proper float operation. Be sure that the inlet piping is cut at an
angle where it enters the tank.
5. The outlet piping should be flexible tubing secured
with a hose clamp (not provided) or pipe (3/8 inch I.D.
maximum to prevent excessive flow back to unit).
