Connect a discharge line to the barbed adaptor
STEP 5
check valve on the top of the pump. Use a 3/8''
inside diameter flexible tubing.
Extend the discharge line straight up from the pump
STEP 6
to the highest point possible without exceeding the
head / US GPH capacity of the pump 20' (6m).
Next, from this high point, run the discharge line to
STEP 7
a drain with a downward slope. For best results, the
drain should be below or approxiamately level with
the bottom of the pump tank.
If it is not possible to slope the line
downward, make a invered U trap at
the high point of the discharge line
above the pump (See illustration 3).
Note
Although not needed for this pump, local codes
may require the use of a condensate neutralizer
when using this pump with a condensing gas
furnace. Consult local codes for guidelines.
Wiring
This unit is provided with a 6 foot long
STEP 8
(1.8m) power cord. Connect this cord
to a constant line voltage source,
not a fan or other device that may run
intermittently.
Test
When the unit is plugged in and the discharge line is in place as steps 1
trough 8. Pour water into the pump reservoir until the unit activates to verify
that the unit is function.
To test the overflow safety circuit :
- Energize the appliance so it runs.
- Kink the tube coming from the pump discharge, or
- Pour water into the pump reservoir, filling it completely.
- As the water level nears the top of the unit, the overflow safety switch
- Un-kink the tube, or plug the cord back in, and allow the pump to

unplug the power cord, so it cannot pump out.
should be activated, breaking the thermastat circuit to the appliance or
triggering an alarm (if used).
empty the tank. As the water level goes down the overflow safety switch
will deactivate and the appliance will energize again or alarm will reset.
