Notes
system is reset).
Functionally, the liquid in the basin
rises and trips the first float, but the
pumps do not turn ON. As the liquid
level rises, it trips the second float,
activating one of the pumps. Once the
liquid level recedes and no longer trips
the second float, the pump will turn
OFF. If the second float is tripped
again, the other pump will turn ON.
If for some reason the liquid level
increases past the second float and
trips the third float, both pumps turn
ON and trips the alarm.
Under normal circumstances, the first
pump will handle the flow after the
second float is tripped. In those cases,
the liquid level will recede until it
drops the lower float. This action turns
the pump OFF. The next time that the
liquid level rises, the other pump turns
ON. This alternates the pumps; this
prevents lock-up and extends the lifer
of both pumps.
Available Controls
For 115 volt only, a wide angle float
switch can be supplied with a plug-
thru series plug.
For 230 volt Simplex units, a NEMA 1
Simplex Controller with a hand-off-
auto switch and run light can be
supplied. This is supplied with a wide-
angle switch for automatic operation.
For 230 volt Duplex units, a NEMA 1
control panel can be supplied with a
hand-off-auto switches, run lights,
pump alternator, and an alarm bell.
This is supplied with a three float
switch system for automatic operation.
General Information
Sewage Pump Systems:
Simplex System
A simplex system consists of one pump,
its control switch, and one basin. It is
used in applications where less than six
toilets (units) are discharged into a
basin. The simplex unit is generally
operated with a contactor to turn the
pump ON and OFF. The contactor is
activated by a single pole float switch.
The float switch is a wide-angle
differential switch that rises with the
liquid level and turns the pump ON. As
the liquid level decreases, the float
lowers and turns the pump OFF. The
switch differential is 120º.
Sewage Pump Systems:
Duplex System
A duplex system is used in applications
where more than six toilets (units) are
discharged into a basin. However, each
pump should be sized to handle the
entire flow in case one pump fails. The
duplex unit is controlled by a NEMA 1
control panel that has an automatic
alternator, run lights, hand-off-auto
switches, and an alarm bell. The duplex
control panel is supplied with three
float switches. The floats are to be
positioned so that the lower float
turns the pumps OFF. The second float
alternates turning first one pump ON
and then the other pump ON. The
third float will turn BOTH pumps ON in
case one pump cannot handle the
flow. The third float will also sound
the alarm (which remains on until the

Operating Instructions And Parts Manual
Installation
Always disconnect the power
source before attempting to
install, service, relocate or
maintain the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Some models of this product include a
grounded plug for quick installation
anywhere a grounded outlet is
accessible. Some models must be
incorporated into the building’s
electrical system. Models without plugs
must be connected to a grounded
circuit. The circuit should be equipped
with a ground fault interrupter device.
All models without plug-in power
cords systems must be installed by a
qualified electrician. All models with a
plug-in power cords system should still
have a qualified electrician inspect the
outlet being used to ensure proper
wiring.
The control switch is a wide-angle
system which prevents short cycling of
the pump motor and the
consequential problems that short
cycling can cause. The switch can be
mounted on the discharge pipe (just
above the pump discharge flange). See
illustrations for switch mounting
arrangements.

5. A check valve MUST be used in a
solids-handling system. Mount the
check valve in a horizontal position
or at a 45º angle with the valve
pivot on top. In a vertical position,
solids tend to lodge on the valve
flapper and can prevent it from
opening.
6. Drill a 1/16” hole in the discharge
pipe 1 to 2 inches above the flange.
This will prevent air locking and loss
of prime at startup. A gate valve
should be installed in the system
after the check valve. This gate
valve should be a full port valve
which will pass 2” solids or as
required by state and local codes.
The gate valve permits removal of
the pump and/or the check valve for
servicing (and will minimize
backflow mess).
7. (OPTIONAL) Install a union between
the check valve and the pump so
the pump can be removed with the
least amount of disturbance of the
piping.
8. Connect 2” rigid pipe to check
valve.
Installation (Continued)
INSTALLATION BASICS:
1. NEVER lift this product by the
electrical cords.
2. Install pump in a sump pit that
fulfills the minimum size
requirements (24” minimum).
Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic. Do not install a pit
smaller than recommended.
3. The unit should be located and rest
on a solid, level foundation. Do not
place pump directly on clay, earth,
gravel or sandy surface. These
surfaces contain small stones,
gravel, sand, etc. that may clog or
damage the pump and cause pump
failure.
Flood risk. If flexible discharge hose is
used, make sure pump is secured in
sump pit to prevent movement. Failure
to secure pump could allow pump
movement and switch interference and
prevent pump from starting or
stopping.
4. Thread the discharge pipe or pipe
nipple into the discharge flange
connection.
3
Operating Instructions And Parts Manual
Support pump and piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
9. Protect electrical cord from sharp
object, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord
and replace damaged cords
immediately.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is
adequate room for tether switch to
swing freely during operation.
10. A pit cover must be installed to
prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump. All piping and
power cords will be brought
through the appropriate openings
in the basin cover. Do not modify
existing openings in any way.
All sewage basins must be vented to
prevent a build-up of methane gas.
Consult your local codes for proper
venting. DO NOT install venting in
locations classified as hazardous in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code NFPA 70.

2. With the cover uninstalled, add
water to the basin and observe the
float control switch operation.
3. Also, test alarm switch if installed.
4. Secure and seal basin cover.
Do not run your pump in a dry sump.
Do not attempt to oil the motor. A special
oil has been put in the motor housing at
the factory. Use of any other oil could
damage the pump and WILL void the
warranty.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the electrical
supply before attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform any
maintenance. If the power source is out
of sight, lock and tag in the open (off)
position to prevent unexpected power
application. Failure to do so could
result in fatal electrical shock. Only
qualified electricians should repair this
unit. Improper repair could result in
fatal electrical shock.
Operation
Always disconnect the power
source before attempting to
install, service, relocate or
maintain the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. Verify pump and switch operate
within the basin.
Risk of electrical shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded receptacle to reduce
the risk of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
1. Let the pump cool for a minimum of
two hours before servicing because
the pump contains hot oil under
pressure and the motor is hot.
2. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of warranty will void the
warranty. If repairs are required,
see troubleshooting chart.
3. Inlet should be kept clean and free
of all foreign objects and inspect
annually. A clogged inlet will
damage pump.
4. Pump should be checked monthly
for proper operation.
This pump contains dielectric oil for
cooling. This oil can be harmful to the
environment. Check the state
environmental laws before disposing
this oil.
