Information
Pump
Warning
Failure to follow these
instructions may cause serious
bodily injury and/or property
damage.
CAUTION: To reduce risk of
electrical shock, install with
motor and all electrical
components above the top grade
level of the sump. This pump
motor is not submersible.
Connect only to a properly
grounded grounding-type
receptacle. Read all instructions
before installing pump.
WARNING: This pump has not
been investigated for use in
swimming pool areas. For
indoor use only.
1. Before installing or servicing
your pump, BE CERTAIN
pump power source is
disconnected.
• Provide adequate protection
and guarding around moving
and electrical parts.
• Voltage of power supply must
match the voltage of the pump.
Hydromatic pedestal sump
pumps are factory preset
to 115
volt, 60 Hz, single phase.
• This equipment is only for use
on 115 volt (single phase) and
is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong,
grounding-type plug. Where a
2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with
the National Electric Code and
local codes and ordinances.
• Use wire of adequate size
to minimize voltage drop at
the motor.
2. Call an electrician when in
doubt. All wiring should be
performed by a qualified
electrician. Pump should be
connected to a separate 15 amp
circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse
block. Plugging into existing
outlet may cause low voltage
at motor, causing blown fuses,
tripping of motor overload, or
burned out motor.
• When wiring an electrically
driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as
well as the most recent
National Electric Code (NEC)
and the Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
• Installation and electrical
wiring must adhere to state
and local codes and must be
complete before starting
pump. Check appropriate
community agencies or contact
local electrical and pump
professionals.
3. Pump is equipped with a
grounding conductor and a
grounding-type attachment
plug. Do NOT connect pump
to a power supply until
permanently grounded. For
maximum safety, ground pump
to a circuit equipped with a
ground fault interrupter device.
• Protect electrical cord from
sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord. Replace
or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.
• Keep fingers and foreign
objects away from ventilation
and other openings. Do NOT
insert any objects into the
rotor.
• Do NOT touch an operating
motor. Modern motors
are designed to operate at
high temperatures.
• Do NOT handle a pump or
pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
• The pump motor is equipped
with an automatic resetting
thermal protector and may
restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of
motor overloading as a result
of operating the pump at

Pump
Troubleshooting
Read the following instructions
carefully before replacing any
parts. Reasonable care and safe
methods should be practiced.
Check local codes and
requirements before installation.
Only a competent electrician
should make the installations.
CAUTION: Shut off power
to pump.
Motor overheats and automatic
overload shuts it off.
1. Pump inlet or discharge
line clogged. Check inlet,
discharge line, and check
valve.
2. Low line voltage or inadequate
extension cord. Check size of
wiring – may be below
recommended minimum. If
OK, contact electric company.
3. Voltage too high; check wiring
with voltmeter. If voltage
is too high, contact electric
company.
4. Low head (vertical pumping
distance). The shorter the head,
the greater the volume
pumped, and the harder the
pump works. If head is only
a foot or two, pump may
overload.
Pump runs but does not
deliver water.
1. Pump inlet or discharge
line clogged. Check inlet,
discharge line, and check
valve.
2. Low line voltage or inadequate
extension cord. Check size of
wiring – may be below
recommended minimum. If
OK, contact electric company.
3. Loose shaft. Reposition shaft
to motor shaft or impeller or
replace parts as needed.
Pump runs and pumps out
sump, but does not stop.
1. Float is stuck in up position.
Be sure float operates freely
in basin.
2. Faulty automatic switch.
Replace.
3. Defective motor. Check for
grounded winding and replace

General Information:
Neither the pump nor the pump
motor ever requires oiling.
However, the pump should be
checked for proper operation every
two weeks or so. Fill the sump pit
with water and watch operation of
pump, on and off levels, etc. If
there are any irregularities in
pump operation, power should be
disconnected, pump should be
removed from pit, examined, and
repaired by a qualified service
person or electrician.
Cleaning the Pump:
A decrease in output or noise
generally means the pump inlet is
clogged. Clean any debris from the
pump inlet slots. Also inspect and
turn the impeller to verify
that debris has not jammed it.
Connect the power cord and test
operation. If pumping is still not
satisfactory, check for blockage
in the discharge pipeline and
inspect the check valve.
