SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION
This pump is designed for home sump applications. The pump is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding-type power cord. The ball bearings on the motor shafts never need to be lubricated.
This pump has not been tested or approved for use in swimming pools or in salt-water marine
areas. It is also not engineered to be run continuously as a “fountain” or “waterfall” pump.
Because this pump has an oil-filled motor, it should NOT be used in water containing fish.
Pump only water with this pump. For safety, the pump motor has an automatic resetting
thermal protector that automatically will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of
this feature will damage the pump and will void the warranty. Once the thermal protector
detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow the pump to operate
normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
•
This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free
service for a long time when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate
electrical power to the pump, dirt, or blockage by ice or debris may cause the pump to fail,
eventually bringing about additional water damage. To minimize the potential for water
damage due to pump failure, please carefully read the manual and follow the instructions
regarding common pump problems and remedies.
•
•
Installation
Verify the switch is operating without any obstruction from the pump, piping and basin.15.
Fill the basin/pit with water again. While the pump is draining the basin/pit, verify the
discharge pipe is carrying the water to a point at least 3 ft. away from the foundation.
the pipe must be positioned in a downward slope away from the foundation, so any
remaining water will drain away and not freeze.
•
Step 6:
Secure the basin cover and gasket to the basin to prevent debris from falling into the basin,
prevent personal injury, and to contain gases and/or odors.
•
Step 7:
Verify the switch is operating without any obstruction from the pump, piping and basin.
Fill the basin/pit with water again. While the pump is draining the basin/pit, verify the
discharge pipe is carrying the water to a point at least 3 ft. away from the foundation.
The pipe must be positioned in a downward slope away from the foundation, so any
remaining water will drain away and not freeze.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
•
Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
•
ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before
servicing.
•
Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud and sand
during operation to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent clogging and premature
pump failure.
•
Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured
discharge hose to “whip”, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
•
Before using the pump, check hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks,
and be sure hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to
move the greatest amount of water quickly.
•
Check that all hoses connections are tight to minimize leaks.
•
Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
•
Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10-amp or larger fuse or
circuit breaker.
•
Periodically inspect pump and system components, to be sure pump inlets are free of
mud,sand and debris. DISCONNECT PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
INSPECTING.
•
Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
•
Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.
•
Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and
in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
•
This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with
an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE
GROUND PIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly
inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle.
Do not use pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
•
Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords
present a life-threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the
connection ends fall into water.
•
CAUTION

Cleaning and Maintenance
TROUBLESHOOTING
•The pump should be inspected 3-4 times per year for pump movement or buildup of
debris on the switch or float. Reposition pump if it has moved. Remove any debris that
could interfere with the operation of the switch. Lack of proper routine maintenance
will void warranty.
•Make sure the pump is plugged in to a working ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
outlet and the cord is in good shape. In damp areas, GFCI breakers may trip,
effectively shutting off the sump pump. Check in on your sump pump and reset the
GFCI if necessary.
•Ensure the pump itself is standing upright. Vibrations during operation can cause it to
fall or tilt onto one side. This can jam the float arm so it can’t activate the pump.
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This motor has NO repairable internal parts, and
disassembling may cause an oil leak or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
