PREPARATION
Estimated Installation Time: 15 minutes
Materials required for assembly: Sump basin, inlet piping, discharge piping (PVC, poly pipe or
galvanized steel), check valve, and 2-step PVC glue system (primer and sealer).
GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
This pump is designed to be installed in a sump basin for removing clear drain water and will usually
pass small particles suspended in water. Heavy mud, sand, or pea gravel can clog the pump, which
can usually be cleaned out by back-ushing with a garden hose through the pump discharge.
A check valve must be installed in the discharge pipe to keep water from draining back into the sump
basin when it is not operating. The sump basin must be at least 18-in deep and 10-in diameter.
NOTES: Before installing pump:
• Have the electrical circuit checked by an electrician to ensure it is on a dedicated circuit with
proper grounding.
• Connect pump to a grounded circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interruptor (GFCI) device.
• BE CERTAIN the pump power source is disconnected before installing or servicing this unit.
• Be sure the sump basin and piping are clear of sand, dirt, and scale. Debris will clog pump and
void warranty.
• Failure to protect pump and piping from freezing could cause severe damage and will void the
warranty.
• Do not run pump dry.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make sure the sump basin is cleared of any
debris or sediment, and place the sump pump
on a hard surface inside the basin.

2. Connect the discharge pipe, ttings, and check
valve (not provided) to pump discharge. The
discharge pipe should be the same size as the
discharge of pump (1-1/2-in) or larger.
NOTE: Make sure there is enough room in the
basin for the oat to move freely. If the oat is
restricted, the pump will not operate.
3. Drill a 3/16-in vent hole in the discharge pipe,
level with the top of pump. It is normal for
water to spray from this hole when the pump is
operating.
