PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs in the cover
nor the motor housing.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specic details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.

Nonautomatic (N or E) models with a watertight junction box (for outdoor or above ground installations) are available in all series.
1. Check to be certain your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements
of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.
2. Check valves used in High Temperature service must be all metal swing type check
valves.
3. Repairandserviceshouldbeperformedby Zoeller Pump CompanyAuthorizedService
Station only.
4. Dewatering and efuent sump pumps are not designed to handle raw sewage.
5. Maximum continuous operating temperature for high temperature pumps must not
exceed 200°F - 93°C.
6. Cable from disconnect to control box (consumer furnished) should be rated 105°C.
1. Make sure there is a properly grounded receptacle available. All pumps are
furnished with provisions for proper grounding to protect you against the possibility
of electrical shock.
(SEE WARNING BELOW)
2. Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light
do not deliver sufcient voltage to the pump motor. But, more important, they could
present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the connection
end were to fall into the sump.
3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit
breakersofpropercapacity. Aseparate branch circuit is recommended, sizedaccord-
ing to the “National Electrical Code” for the current shown on the pump nameplate.
4. Testing for ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked
for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate
if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they
are not, call a qualied licensed electrician.
5. For Added Safety. Pumping and other equipment with a 3-prong grounded plug must
be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle. For added safety the receptacle
may be protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter. When a pump needs to be
connected in a watertight junction box, the plug can be removed and spliced to the
supply cable with proper grounding. For added safety this circuit may be protected
by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. The complete installation must comply with the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER
SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a 3-prong
grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong
plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation
does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local
codes and ordinances. Pumps must be installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Pumps are not to be
installed in locations classied as hazardous in accordance with National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
7. “Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief or
connect conduit directly to the pump.
8. Installation and servicing of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by
a qualied licensed electrician.
9. Pump installation and servicing should be performed by a qualied person.
10. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming
pool and marine areas.
11. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known to
the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

All installations must comply with all applicable electrical and plumbing codes, including, but not limited to, National Electrical Code, local,
regional, and/or state plumbing codes, etc.
TYPICAL HIGH TEMPERATURE PUMP INSTALLATION
Most 200°F. installations do not involve efuent or sewage. (Consult factory)
CAUTION: High temperature pumps must be installed in a steel or concrete basin. (Do not use polyethylene or berglass type basins.)
Typical High Temperature Automatic Installation. Typical High Temperature Nonautomatic Installation.
1. Electrical wiring and protection must be in accordance with National Electrical Code and any other applicable state and local electrical
requirements.
2. Install unicheck (combination union and check valve) preferably just above the basin to allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.
Use all metal swing type check valve.
3. When a Unicheck is installed, drill a 3/16" dia. hole in the discharge pipe even with the top of the pump. NOTE: The hole must also be below the
basin cover.
4. All installations require a basin cover to prevent debris from falling into the basin, and to minimize accidental injury.
5. Securely tape power cord to discharge pipe clear of the oat mechanism.
6. Use a full-size discharge pipe.
* 7. Pump must be level and oat mechanism clear of sides of basin before starting pump.
8. Install blocks or bricks under pump to provide a settling basin.
9. Basin must be clean and free of debris after installation.
Switch housing and cord must not be exposed to high temperature water or steam for extended periods. Do not install below the lid
or in the pit. If a longer oat rod is required for deep pit installations, consult factory.
* Check specic control installation instruction for other type control usage.

(Reference step 3.) If an extender kit is being used repeat
steps 3 and 4 for each kit used. Each kit adds one oat and
one foot of oat rod length.
5. Slide large oat (8) and remaining oat stop (6) onto oat
rod as shown. (Do not tighten oat stop set screw at this
time.) (Reference step 10.)

If the above checklist does not uncover the problem, consult the factory - Do not attempt to service or otherwise disassemble pump. Service must
be performed by Zoeller Authorized Service Stations. Go to www.zoellerpumps.com/servicestations to nd the Authorized Service Station in your
area.
CONDITION
A. Pump will not start or run.
B. Motor overheats and trips overload or blows fuse.
C. Pump starts and stops too often.
COMMON CAUSES
Check fuse, low voltage, overload open, open or incorrect wiring, open switch, impeller or seal
bound mechanically, defective capacitor or relay when used, motor or wiring shorted. Float
assembly held down. Switch defective, damaged, or out of adjustment.
Incorrect voltage, negative head (discharge open lower than normal) impeller or seal bound
mechanically, defective capacitor or relay, motor shorted.
Float tight on rod, check valve stuck or none installed in long distance line, overload open,
level switch(s) defective, sump pit too small.
Debris under oat assembly, oat or oat rod bound by pit sides or other, switch defective,
damaged or out of adjustment.
Check strainer housing, discharge pipe, or if check valve is used vent hole must be open.
Discharge head exceeds pump capacity. Low or incorrect voltage. Incorrect motor rotation.
Capacitor defective. Incoming water containing air or causing air to enter pump.
Increased pipe friction, clogged line or check valve. Abrasive material and adverse chemi-
cals could possibly deteriorate impeller and pump housing. Check line. Remove base and
inspect.
D. Pump will not shut off.
E. Pump operates but delivers little or no water.
F. Drop in head and/or capacity after a period of use.
SERVICE CHECKLIST
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS - Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump - making sure you are wearing
