SPECIFICATIONS
NOTICE:Read this Owner’s Manual for installation, operation, and safety information.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement, asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay or
gravel surfaces.
Piping –Effluent Applications (3/4”or Less Solids)
Piping must be 1-1/2”minimum to carry volume of pump discharge. Check local codes to determine if a check valve is
required in your system. In cold climates, check valves are not used to prevent effluent from freezing in piping.
If using as a sump pump, a check valve is recommended.
Piping –Sewage Applications (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 2”(5.1 cm) diameter. The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids
present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minimum flow requirements, the minimum pipe size is 2”.
Use a 2”(5.1 cm) 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 start up.
Drill a 1/8”(3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1”-2”(2.5 - 5.1cm) above pump discharge connection (but below check
valve) to prevent air locking the pump.
PIPE QUICK CONNECTION:
Insert rigid plastic pipe into the quick connector.
Hand tighten the knurling nut of the quick connector as tight as possible.

OPERATION
WARNING: Do not handle this pump or plug in or unplug this pump with wet hands or while standing in water, unless you
are certain all power has been turned off to the pump. Remember, the pump should be connected only to a properly
grounded, GFCI outlet.
1. Make certain the pump is submerged in water. Running the pump dry can damage the shaft seal.
2. Plug the pump cord into the back of the float switch cord’s plug. Plug the float switch cord into a 115V GFCI power
outlet.
3. After connecting power to the pump and periodically afterwards, test the pump:
a. Fill the basin to above the float switch operation ON Height. The pump should start pumping.
b. The pump should pump the water down to below its float switch operation OFF Height and then stop pumping.
c. If the water drains back into the basin and restarts the pump, make sure the check valve is properly installed
and working. Also make sure that all pipe connections are tight.
4. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the
overload protector will shut off the pump before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload
protector will reset, and the motor will restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check to find the
problem. Low voltage, a long extension cord, clogged impeller, screen blocked by debris, or water that is too hot can
cause motor overheating.
