NOTICE: PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL
BEFORE OPERATE OR INSTALL THE PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE
ANY QUESTION, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR FOR
INSTRUCTION.
THIS MANUAL MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.
MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY LABELS.
IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or cause
death. All electrical work must be performed
by a qualied technician. Always follow the
local applicable electrical code.
The pump must be connected to a dedicated
electrical circuit protected by a properly sized
circuit breaker or fuses. Install a disconnect
Control Panel where required by the local
code.
Code questions should be directed to your electrical inspector.
See Chart 1 for specific information.
Always disconnect the power source before
installing or servicing the pump. This motors
come with an automatic thermal overload
protection, this feature may allow an
overheated pump to restart suddenly.
Water and electricity can be dangerous if
certain precautions are not adhered to. This
pump is designed to operate in a safe way in
a water environment; however, improper use
and installation can result in personal harm
from electrical shock. Please pay attention to
the following warnings.
Never touch this pump, when it is touching
water, in water, or even in a moist environ-
ment. Always unplug (disconnect the electric-
ity) when working on or installing the unit.
Pump is not designed for use in swimming
pools, open bodies of water, hazardous
liquids, or where ammable gases exist. Do
not use this pump with ammable or explosive
liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene,
ethanol, etc. Using this pump with or near
ammable liquids can cause an explosion or
re, resulting in property damage, serious
personal injury and/or death. Pumping any
of the above mentioned liquids voids the
warranty. Always make sure that this pump
is pumping liquid with same composition as
water.
Do not stand in water when the pump is
connected to the power supply.
Pumps and oats equipped with a 3-prong
grounded plug must be connected to a 3-wire
receptacle. Do not attach to extensions or
connectors if is not in accordance to the NEC
code or your local electric code. Removing the
plug will void the agency listing. Removing the
plug will void the warranty.

DANGER

This pump has been evaluated for use with
water only.
Risk of electric shock – this pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding-
type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded, grounding-type
receptacle.
NOTICE: This pumps has been designed for working in presence
of water for cooling and lubrication. Working without water will
cause severe damage to the pump.
A qualied electrician must perform all the
wiring.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1. Read this Instruction Manual thoroughly prior to any work.
Work should be undertaken by qualified persons only.
1.2. Sump pumps are designed to operate intermittently and
usually seasonally. It is recommended that you test the pump
before your rainy season begins to insure that the pump
and switch are operating properly.
1.3. We suggest installing a high water alarm system and a
battery back-up pump system for finished basements or areas
where flooding will cause property damage. A back-up
generator is another option you can discuss with your pump
installer. Most power outages occur during rain storms, just
when you need your sump pump the most! Pump manufac-
turer’s warranties cover only the pump. Labor and incidental
damage such as flooding is not covered.
2. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
2.1. Open all cartons and inspect for shipping damage. Report
any damage to your supplier immediately.
2.2. Verify that all equipment is the correct voltage. Warranty
does not cover damage caused by connecting pumps and
controls to incorrect voltage.
2.3. Is your basin sized correctly and the proper type for the
location?
Diameter - It must be wide enough to allow the pump and
switch to physically fit and provide room for the float switch to
operate freely. The vertical float switch models typically require
less diameter than the wide-angle float models. See “min. basin
diameter” in Chart 1.
Depth - It must be deeper than the minimum depth at
which the switch turns the pump On. As an example,
if the pump turns on at 7.50” you want to use a basin
deeper than 7.50”.
See “On level” in Chart 1.
Style - There are several sump basin styles
available. The location of the sump deter-
mines if you require a cover and what type
you require. It is important to keep debris from
entering the sump and clogging the pump.
An open sump in a trafc area such as a
basement is dangerous. If children or pets will
be playing in the area a bolt-on or child-proof
cover is recommended.
Do not use the power cord or discharge hose
to carry or handle the pump. Doing so may
cause severe damage to the power cord
connector, the power cord or discharge hose.
Use the carrying handle
supplied with the pump.
It is strongly recommended to use a “Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupt” GFCI device on
this pump. This GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter) should be listed by Underwriters
Laboratories (UL). This is required by many
local codes and enforcement agencies. It is
strongly recommended as it provides a safer
installation and will reduce possible injury
from electrical shock.
3. PIPING
3.1. The discharge pipe should be the same size as the pump
discharge (11/4”) to insure optimum performance. Using
undersized pipe will reduce the flow. Your pump supplier can
suggest the correct pipe for your installation.
3.2. Install a threaded pipe adapter, matched to the pipe type
you are using, into the threaded pump discharge. A union
installed just above the sump or basin cover will facilitate future
maintenance and replacement. See Chart 1 for discharge size.
3.3. Recommended to install a line check valve just above the
union to prevent backflow of water after each pump cycle.

4. INSTALLATION IN SUMP
4.1. The pump can be placed directly on the bottom of a poly or
fiberglass sump basin or a concrete sump bottom. The pump

should be placed in a solid foundation. If the bottom is packed
gravel the stones must be larger than ½” in diameter and the
pump should be placed on bricks for support.
4.2. After connecting the discharge pipe to the pump it can be
lowered into the sump (basin). Always lower the pump by the
handle and the pipe, never by the power cord. Place the pump
against the basin wall so the float is to the center.
4.3 Check to insure all piping connections are tight. The pipes
should be supported mechanically. This will prevent the pump
from moving in the sump. Make sure the float switch will move
freely from the bottom to top, otherwise it could get stuck and
either keep the pump running or not let it turn on.
4.4. The power to the outlet should be Off at this point. The
dedicated outlet should supply power only to the pump.
4.5. Fasten the power cords to the discharge pipes using tie
wraps or electrical tape. Coil and store any excess power cord
safely outside the sump.
5. OPERATION
5.1. Turn the power on at the breaker panel and/or the
disconnect switch.
5.2. Fill the basin with water, the tank or the place the pump
will be operating and observe where the pump turns On and
Off. It should go On well before the water overflows the top of
the sump. The pump should go Off before the water goes below
the pump suction. The On-Off cycle on models with wide-angle
WARNING
!
float switches is adjustable. Adjustment is made by changing
the tether length between the switch body and the switch tether
(pivot) point.
Install a cover on the sump basin if there is a
danger of debris, children, or pets falling into
the basin. See Basin “Style” in Section 2.3.
6. SEASONAL
6.1. If your sump pump only operates seasonally and then
sits idle for months it is recommended that you test the pump
before your rainy season begins. Fill the sump with water and
check for debris and proper switch operation. Remove any
debris which could clog the suction strainer or jam the switch.
Insure that the switch operates freely and does not hit the sump
wall or hang-up on piping or power cords.
7.OPTIONS
7.1. Your pump supplier has a full line of basins, covers, high
water alarms, and battery backup pump systems available to
complete your system.
8. TROUBLESHOOTING
Extreme caution should be exercised when servicing electrical
devices. Fatal injuries could result from electrical shock. Always
disconnect the electrical power from the device being serviced
unless it is necessary for the work being done.
