SAFETY GUIDELINES
UNPACKING
• Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has
occurred, file a claim immediately with the carrier that delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
STORAGE
• Short Term—Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following short, inoperative
periods in storage. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory assembled,
in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures for up to six (6) months.
• Long Term—For storage of six (6) months, to twenty-four (24) months, the units should
be stored in a temperature-controlled area: a roofed-over, walled enclosure that provides
protection from the elements (rain, snow, wind, dust, etc.), and where the temperature
can be maintained between 4 and 40°C (40 and 104°F). If extended high humidity is
expected to be a problem, all exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all
surfaces that have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn should be recoated with a water-based,
air-dry enamel paint. All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
• Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On initial start up, rotate impeller by hand
to ensure seal and impeller rotate freely.
INSTALLATION
DISCHARGE
• Discharge piping should be as short as possible. A check valve is recommended for each
pump being used. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive
backflow can cause flooding and/or damage to the pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
• Pump comes with float switch.
• Power Cable—The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made in accordance with all
applicable electric codes. It is recommended that a junction box, if used, be mounted outside
the sump or be of at least NEMA 4 construction if located within the wet wall. Do not use
the power cable to lift pump.
• Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not
use damaged or worn cords.
• Failure to comply with the instructions and designed operation of this unit may void the warranty. Attempting to
use a damaged pump can result in property damage, serious personal injury and/or death.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
WIRE SIZE
• Consult a qualified electrician for proper wire size.
PRE-OPERATION: CHECK VOLTAGE AND PHASE
• Before operating pump, check to make sure that the voltage and phase information
stamped on the pump’s identification plate matches the available power.
IDENTIFICATION PLATE
• Note the numbers on the pump’s identification plate and record at the end of the manual
for future reference.
INSULATION TEST
• Before the pump is put into service, an insulation (megger) test should be performed on it.
The ohm values as well as the volts and amps should be recorded.
PUMP-DOWN TEST
• After the pump has been properly wired and lowered into the basin, sump, or lift station,
it is advisable to check the system by filling with liquid and allowing the pump to operate
through its pumping cycle. The time needed to empty the system, or pump down time,
should be recorded.
MAINTENANCE
• As the motor is oil-filled no lubrication or other maintenance is required.

width
1/8" (3 mm)
anti-airlock
hole
• Install the pump in sump pit with minimum diameter of
10" (25.4 cm). The sump depth should be 14" (35.6 cm).
Construct the sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic.
Check local codes for approved materials and for proper
installation.
• Install the pump in a pit so that the switch operating
mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
• The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand
surfaces. Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel
which could clog the pump. Keep the pump inlet screen
clear.
• Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe and
wrap threads with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Screw
pipe into the pump hand tight plus 1 1/2 turns.
• To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of
rubber hose [1 7/8" (47.6 mm) I.D., e.g., radiator hose]
can be connected into the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
• Install an in-line check valve or an in-pump check valve to prevent flow backwards through the pump
when the pump shuts off.
• Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V, 60 Hz, operation and requires a minimum 15 A individual
branch circuit. Plug the power plug into a 115 V GFCI power outlet.
• If the pump discharge line is exposed to outside subfreezing atmosphere, a portion of the line
exposed must be installed so any water remaining in the pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity.
Failure to do this can cause water trapped in the discharge to freeze which could result in damage to
the pump.
• After the piping and check valve have been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
• Check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and observing pump operation through one
complete cycle.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can
damage plastics.
If your check valve is not equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent an airlock in the
pump, drill a 1/8" (3 mm) hole in the discharge pipe just above where the discharge
pipe screws into the pump discharge. Be sure the hole is below the waterline and the
check valve to prevent airlocks.
• Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. If a flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure the pump is secured in the sump to prevent movement. Failure
to secure the pump may allow pump movement, switch interference and prevent the pump
from starting or stopping.
• Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. Failure to make an
operational check may lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.
• Risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury and/or death. Pump should always be electrically
grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly-grounded
metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off the round ground pin.
CAUTION!
DANGER!

• Risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury and/or death. Do not handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water.
• Risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury and/or death. Before attempting to check why the
unit has stopped operating, disconnect power from the unit.
DANGER!
• The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged
in water as the seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
• The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector. If temperature in the motor
should rise unduly, the switch will cut off all power before damage can be done to the motor.
When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart the motor.
If the protector trips repeatedly, the pump should be removed and checked. Low voltage, long
extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, a plugged or frozen discharge pipe,
etc., could cause the protector to trip.
• The pump will not remove all water.
