the pump an environment for long life. Do not use to pump gas or toxic
fuels. This submersible sump pump is designed to pump water only.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when

STEP 3 At this step, you have the opportunity to install a 1 1/2” or a 1 1/4” discharge. 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) 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.
STEP 4 Install and position your submersible sump pump in the centre of your sump pit

STEP 6 Themechanicalswitchprovidedwithyourpumpissuppliedwithaserialelectrical
male plug. Fix the power cord of the pump into the piggy-back receptacle of the
switch and plug this one into electrical grounded outlet. We recommend that a
licensed electrician be employed to do wiring. 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

STEP 7 Fill the sump pit or basin with water to test the operation of your submersible
sump pump. The motor should start when the water level reaches approximately
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.
STEP 8 Review your installation with typical diagram. Check all connections for leaks.
MAINTENANCE:
Unplug the switch and pump motor power cord. Remove the pump from pit or basin.
