At this step, you have the opportunity to install a 1 1/2" or a 1 1/4" discharge.
STEP 3
We recommend a 1 1/2" ABS/DWV discharge. Install a check valve (350362
in-line 1 1/2" or 350353 1 1/4" MNPT inlet and 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" outlet or
350363 1 1/2'' MNPT inlet and 1 1/2'' or 2'' outlet) over discharge pipe of your
pump and secure it with stainless steel clamps or glued nipple for ABS/DWV
pipe. This check valve will allow easy access to pump, should service be
required.
Install and position your submersible sump pump in the centre of your
STEP 4
sump pit or basin and ensure that there is clearance to allow the vertical
float switch a free working area without obstructions (pipe, pit's wall, power
cord). The float cord length is factory set and should not need adjustment. If
adjustment is required, the switch cord can be shorted or lengthed.
Install your discharge pipe from check valve to the point of discharge or
STEP 5
drain. For installation over 50 feet of horizontal position discharge pipe, use
a 2" pipe to reduce friction loss.
We recommend that a licensed electrician be employed to do wiring.
STEP 6
Permanently ground the motor in accordance to the electrical codes for your
area. Do not use an extension cord to connect your pump to the power
source. From your distribution panel to the receptacle, we recommend a
wire gauge not smaller than 14 gauge. Use tape or tie wrap to fix power
cords to discharge pipe.
Fill the sump pit or basin with water to test the operation of your submersible
STEP 7
sump pump. The motor should start when the water level reaches
approximetely 3" over your pump. Allow the pump to go through several
"on-off" cycle to assure satisfactory operation. If needed, see trouble shooting
guide in this manual.
Review your installation with typical diagram. Check all connections for leaks.
STEP 8
Unplug the switch and pump motor power cord. Remove the pump from pit or basin.
Remove trash accumulation and dirt from the pump and float switch. Be sure the float
switch operates freely after cleaning. If tar or paint has been received in the pit or basin, use
kerosene to remove residue from float switch or pump. Do not use strong paint solvents.
Remove the screws that hold the strainer or the base to the bottom of the pump body. Pry
the base off the pump body carefully. Clean the impeller and volute passage way from any
debris wich may have become in contact with these parts. Again, If tar or paint has entered
pump, clean with kerosene. Do not use strong paint solvents. Be sure impeller turns
freely after cleaning.
Check and clean away any debris wich may be clogging the suction inlet, pump discharge,
check valve and discharge line.
Replace screws and return sump pump to sump pit or basin and reconnect to piping.
