INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SP-8012
½ HP Sump Pump
92-SP-8012-01
TOOLS & SUPPLIES NEEDED
IMPORTANT
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK The pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only on a circuit
protected by ground-fault circuit-interrupter. Always disconnect the pump from the power
source before handling or making adjustments. Always wear rubber boots when servicing in
wet areas. Make sure the pump power source is a separately fused, grounded 3-wire type
receptacle of 15-amp capacity. DO NOT REMOVE GROUND PRONG OR PLUG. DO NOT
USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Check to make sure installation is in accordance with the
National Electric Code and all applicable local codes. Installation and servicing are to be
conducted by qualified personnel.
• DO NOT pump flammable liquids.
• DO NOT use around explosive materials.
• DO NOT handle unit with wet hands or while standing in water.
• DO NOT lift the pump by the power cord.
• DO NOT handle or carry the pump by the power cord. Use the handle, or rope.
• DO NOT connect to any voltage other than that listed on the nameplate.
• DO NOT use in water over 104˚F (40˚C).
• DO NOT modify the pump in any way.
• DO NOT expose pump or discharge to freezing temperatures.
• DO NOT use this product to pump salt water or brine. Use with salt water or brine will void
the warranty. Pump water only.
The sump pit must be a minimum of 12” diameter x 10” depth for Vertical switch models usage.
• Do keep the pump inlet screen clear.
The pump MUST be placed on a solid foundation, such as a brick, stone, or other flat
heavy surface. Do not place the pump directly on the ground in sandy or rocky surfaces.
Earth, sand, or gravel that enters the pump would damage the impeller of the sump and
cause flooding. Sand or mud-choked pumps can be back-flushed clean.
• Extended usage of the pump in a partially submerged or non-submerged situation may
cause the pump to overheat due to lack of heat dissipation from the water. If this occurs, the
pump will shut itself off until the motor cools to its normal temperature. Repeated overheating
may cause damage to the pump.

1
POSITION PUMP
Position your Pump in the sump and be sure that the Float Switch moves freely without touching
the wall of the sump or other obstructions. Be sure the incoming water does not interfere with
Float Switch. Ensure the Pump is sitting on a hard surface.
2
INSTALL DISCHARGE LINE
Install a 1-1/2” Male Pipe Adapter, 1-1/2” Discharge Pipe, and Check Valve in accordance to
code.

3
PLUG IN
Plug Power Cord into a properly
grounded GFCI outlet. A dedicated AC
circuit of 120v 15A is required.
Verify that the Power Cord routing does not
interfere with the Float Switch.
4
VERIFY FLOAT SWITCH POSITION
With the Pump plugged in and the sump
dry, the Pump should not activate. If
needed, adjust Float Level by
repositioning the rubber bushing on the
bottom of the Float Rod.
Verify that the Power Cord routing does not
interfere with the Float Switch.
5
TEST FOR PROPER OPERATION
Once installation is complete, check the functionality by filling the sump with water using a bucket
or hose. The unit should activate, pump the water from the sump, and turn off once the water
level reaches the set point of the float. If needed, adjust Float Level by repositioning the rubber
bushing on the bottom of the Float Rod.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Issue: Pump does not run.
Cause:
• Circuit breaker or fuse has tripped.
• Water level in sump has not reached turn-on level as indicated in installation drawing.
• Float may be stuck. It should operate freely in basin.
Issue: Pump runs but does not deliver water.
Cause:
• Check valve is installed backwards. Arrow on valve should point in direction of flow.
• Discharge shut-off valve (if used) may be closed.
• Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove pump and clean.
• Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check for clogged
vent hole in pump case.
• Inlet holes in pump base are clogged. Remove pump and clean the openings.
• Vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce distance or change the discharge fittings of the pump.
Issue: Pump runs and pumps out sump, but does not stop.
Cause:
• Float is stuck in up position. Be sure float operates freely in basin.
• Defective float switch. Replace with float switch.
Issue: Pump runs but delivers only a small amount of water.
Cause:
• Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check for clogged
vent hole in pump case.
• Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove pump and clean.
• Pump impeller is partially clogged with tar or paint, causing motor to run slow and overload. Remove
pump and clean.
Issue: Circuit breaker trips or fuse blows when pump starts.
Cause:
• Pump impeller is partially clogged with tar or paint, causing motor to run slow and overload. Remove
pump and clean.
• Motor stator may be defective.
• Check that circuit breaker or fuse is rated for at least 15 amps.
• Impeller or volute opening are fully or partially clogged. Remove pump and clean.
