Safety 2
READ AND FOLLOW
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this
symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for
one of the following signal words and be alert to the
potential for personal injury:
warns about hazards that will cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if
ignored.
warns about hazards that can cause serious
personal injury, death or major property damage if
ignored.
warns about hazards that will or can cause
minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The label NOTICE indicates special instructions which
are important but not related to hazards.
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this
manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
1. Read this manual carefully. Failure to follow these
Instructions could cause serious bodily injury and/or
property damage.
2. Check your local codes before installing. You must
comply with their rules.
3. Vent sewage or septic tank according to local codes.
Hazardous voltage, Can shock, burn or
cause death. During operation, the pump is in water. To
avoid fatal shocks, proceed as follows if pump needs ser-
vicing:
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by power cord. See “Cord Lift
Warning” on Page 5.
4A. Disconnect power to outlet box before unplugging
pump.
4B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. Do not
stand in water or put your finger in fuse socket.
4C. Do not modify cord and plug. When using cord and
plug, plug into a grounded outlet only. When wiring
to a system control, connect pump ground lead to
system ground.
5. Do not run pump dry. Dry running can overheat
pump, (causing burns to anyone handling it) and will
void warranty.
6. Pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns when ser-
vicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after
shut-down before handling it.
7. In normal service, motor should not need oiling.
Motor has been filled at the factory with a special
oil.
ATTACH ORIGINAL RECEIPT HERE FOR WARRANTY CONSIDERATION.

Installation 3
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement, asphalt, etc.). Never place
pump directly on earth, clay or gravel surfaces.
Piping – Sewage Applications (51 mm/2" or Less Solids)
In any case, piping must not be smaller than pump discharge.
When installed in a sewage system, pipe must be capable of handling semi-solids of
at least 51 mm (2”) diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids present in suspension in
the fluid. To meet minimum flow requirements [61 cm (2 feet)] per second in dis-
charge line), size pipe as follows:
APipe Size Of: Will Handle a Flow Rate Of:
38 mm (1-1/2”) 45 LPM (12 GPM)
51 mm (2”) 79 LPM (21 GPM)
63 mm (2-1/2”) 113 LPM (30 GPM)
76 mm (3”) 181 LPM (48 GPM)
Use a 51 mm (2”) swing check valve in pump discharge to prevent backflow of liquid
into sump basin. Check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when handling solids, do not install it
with discharge angled more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not install check valve
in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve and prevent opening on startup.
Drill a 5 mm (3/16”) hole in discharge pipe about 25-51 mm (1"-2”) above pump dis-
charge connection (but below check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.

Electrical / Operation 4
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. When installing,
operating, or servicing this pump, follow safety instructions listed below.
Step 1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
Step 2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be submerged.
Step 3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and can reduce voltage
sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or damage motor.
Step 4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is connected to power supply.
Step 5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug or modify plug. Connect pump
accoding to electrical codes that apply.
An automatic pump will start and stop dependent upon water level.
Connect or wire pump to its own circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the
circuit. Size fuses or circuit breakers according to chart below.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure that power supply informa-
tion (Voltage/ Hertz/Phase) on pump motor nameplate matches incoming power
supply exactly. Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.

OPERATION AND INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will void the warranty and may
damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect motor from burning out
due to overheating/overloading. When motor cools down, overload protector will
automatically reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a stuck impeller, wrong/low
voltage, or electrical failure in motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is required.
GENERAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause death. Before removing
pump from basin for service, always disconnect electrical power to pump and con-
trol switch.
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. Do not lift pump by ower
cord. See “Cord Lift Warning” on Page 5.
Submerge pump in a disinfectant solution (chlorox or chlorine) for at least one hour
before disassembling pump.
The pump motor contains a special lubricating oil which should be kept clean and
free of water at all times.

Troubleshooting 5
A. Pump fails to operate:
B. Pump fails to empty sump:
C. Pump will not shut off:
Sudden Starts. If power to pump is on when
thermal overload resets, pump may start without warning. If
you are working on pump, you may get an electrical shock or
impeller may catch fingers or tools. Disconnect power before
servicing pump.
1. Check to be sure that power cord is securely plugged into outlet. Disconnect power to
outlet before handling pump or motor.
2. Check to be sure you have electrical power.
3. Check that liquid fluid level is high enough to activate switch or controller.
4. Check to be sure that 4.7 mm (3/16") vent hole in discharge pipe is not plugged.
5. Check for blockage in pump inlet, impeller, check valve or discharge pipe.
6. Thermal overload may have tripped. Test start pump; if it starts and then stops immedi-
ately, disconnect from power source for 30 minutes to allow motor to cool, then
reconnect to power source. Check for cause of overheating/overloading.
1. Be sure all valves in discharge valve are fully open.
2. Clean out discharge pipe and check valve.
3. Check for blockage in pump inlet or impeller.
4. Pump not sized properly. A higher capacity pump may be required.
1. Check switch or controller automatic floats for proper operation and location.
See installation instructions for switch/controller.
2. If pump is completely inoperative or continues to malfunction, consult your local
serviceman.
1. Attempting to lift or support pump by
power cord can damage cord and
cord connections.
2. Cord may pull apart, exposing bare
wires with possibility of fire or electri-
cal shock.
3. Lifting or supporting pump by power
cord will void warranty.
4. Use T-handle on top of pump for all
lifting/lowering of pump. Disconnect
power to pump before doing any
work on pump or attempting to
remove pump from sump
