• Feed the cord(s) through the cord grommet hole (4) on
the basin cover, place the cover on the basin ensuring the
 dischargeangeandthedischargepipingareinthe
correct orientation.
• Press each cord through the slit and into the hole on the
cord grommet (B), 2 hole cord grommet for pumps with a
 oatcordanda1holegrommetfor1cordsystems.Press
the grommet (B) into the grommet hole (4) to provide a
tight seal.
• Secure the basin cover onto the basin with the basin cover
 fastenersremovedintherststep.

• Add 4 – 6 in. of clean sub-base material or concrete
(3) to the bottom of the hole.
• Assure that it is level, compacted, and smooth.
• Place the basin (A) in the hole and ensure that it
is level.
