General Safety
Risk of burns. Do not
touch an operating motor. Motors are de-
signed to operate at high temperatures. To
avoid burns when servicing pump, allow it to
cool for 20 minutes after shut-down before
handling.
Do not allow pump or any system compo-
nent to freeze. To do so will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
Periodically inspect pump and system com-
ponents.
Wear safety glasses at all times when work-
ing on pumps.
Risk of explosion. Pump
body may explode if used as a booster
pump.

INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Do not work on pump until
power is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or
use an adapter tting.
Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord should be connected to a
separately fused, grounded line with a minimum
capacity of 15 amps. It can be connected to non-
fuse breaker at the recommended amperes.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be
 certainpump’spowersourceisdisconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and local codes and must be
completed before priming pump. Check
appropriate community agencies, or contact
local electrical and pump professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump
should be connected to a separate 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block.
Note that plugging into existing outlets may
cause low voltage at motor. This could cause
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or
burned out motor.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump
to the grounding bar at the service panel is
mandatory. These sump pumps come with a
grounding conductor and a grounding-type
attachment plug. Do not connect pump to
a power supply until permanently grounded.
For maximum safety, connect pump to a circuit
equipped with a fault interrupter device when
positioningthepump’sgroundingwire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the
voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of
any water, debris or sediment.
Sump basin must be vented
in accordance with local
plumbing codes. These Sump pumps are not
designed for and CANNOT be installed in loca-
tions classied as hazardous.
7. The following may cause injury and/or severe
damage to pump and will void the warranty.
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting o the ground pin or using an
adapter tting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while
plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing
impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal.
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
 (g)Pumpinggasolineorotherammableliquids
8. Plastic PVC pipe can be installed in the
outlet piping. Drain hose, galvanized steel
or copper pipe may be used if desired.
All piping must be clean and free of all
foreign matter to prevent clogging.
9. Pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids
contain solid particles larger than 1/2” (3/4” ECD75).
Verify that the voltage and
frequency of the pump shown
on the nameplate corresponds to those available on
the mains. The installer must make sure that the
electric system is grounded in accordance with code.
• For outdoor use it is necessary to use cable with
a lengthofatleast8’.Theplugandconnection
should be protected from water splashes. Before
using the pump, always inspect it visually
(especially power cable and plug)
• Do not use pump if it is damaged
• If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by an
authorized service center.
• Make sure that electric connections are protected
 fromooding.Protecttheplugandthepower
cable from heat or sharp edges.
The power cable must be
     replacedbyqualiedpersonnel
only. Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a
double grounding contact, so that grounding can be
performed by simply inserting the plug.
This pump series has a built in thermal protection
switch. The pump stops if an overload condition
occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has
cooled down. If it doesn’t start automatically, unplug
the pump and plug it back in.

CAUTION:
Check local codes before installing
pump.
STEP 1:
Pump must be installed in a suitable
gas tight, properly vented basin which
is at least 24” deep and is at least 18”
wide for pumps tted with wide angle
on/o switches and at least 14” wide
for pumps tted with vertical on/o
switches.
STEP 2:
Pump must be placed on a hard sur-
face in a sump that has been cleared
of all debris. Never place the pump on
clay, earth or gravel surfaces and it is
suggested the pump be placed on two
bricks approximately 2” apart.
STEP 3:
Connect the discharge pipe, ttings
and check valve to the discharge port
of the pump. It is recommended that
the discharge pipe diameter be equal
to or larger than the discharge size of
the pump.
Discharge piping can be
PVC, polypipe or
galvanized steel.
