surfaces contain small stones, gravel,
sand, etc. that may clog or damage
the pump and cause pump failure.

hose is used, make sure pump is secured
in sump pit to prevent movement.
Failure to secure pump could allow pump
movement and switch interference and
prevent pump from starting or stopping.

3. A check valve is required in the
discharge line to prevent back-flow
when the pump shuts off. It is best
to install the check-valve directly to
the pump discharge. Thread a check

pipe to rubber boot on check valve.

Operation
Always
the power source before
attempting to install, service,
relocate or maintain the pump.
Never touch sump pump, pump motor,
water or discharge piping when pump is
connected to electrical power. Never handle
a pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on wet or damp surface or
in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required (See Figure 3).
Risk of electrical
is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded receptacle to reduce the
risk of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding prong.
Cutting the cord or plug will void the
warranty and make the pump inoperable.

is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and
3-prong, grounding type plug. BSPM
and BCSM pumps must be connected
to a control system for automatic
operation. For all other models, insert
the switch cord plug directly into a GFCI
protected 120 volt outlet.

3. Insert the pump power cord plug
directly into the back of the switch
cord plug, (See Figures 4 and 5).
4. Fill sump with water. The pump will
start automatically when the water
has filled the sump to a depth of
approximately 13 in. (8 in. for BCAP
and BCSC Series). The pump will stop
when the water depth is approximately
7 in. (approximately 3 in. for BCAP and
BCSC Series). The pump will recycle
thereafter as required.

5. While the pump is draining the pit,
verify that the discharge piping is
carrying the water to a point several
feet away from the foundation.
6. If pump discharge line is exposed to
freezing temperature, the exposed line
must be pitched to drain. Trapped water
will freeze and damage the pump.
NOTE: The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.

Operation (continued)
• Sump pump will run a minimum of 4
seconds, to a maximum of 16 before
stopping.
• Sump pump run time will be
determined by the sump pit size and
water flow rate into the sump pit.
• Under flooding conditions, the
sump pump will stop for 1 second,
every 16 seconds, and automatically
turn back on, until water level

unexpected power application. Failure to
do so could result in fatal electrical shock.
Only qualifi ed electricians should repair this
unit. Improper repair could result in fatal
electrical shock.
1. Let the pump cool for a minimum of
two hours before servicing because
the pump contains hot oil under
pressure and the motor is hot.
2. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of warranty will void the
warranty. If repairs are required, see
troubleshooting chart.
Maintenance
Always
disconnect the
electrical supply before
attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any
maintenance. If the power
source is out of sight, lock and
3. Inlet should be kept clean and free
of all foreign objects and inspected
annually. A clogged inlet will
damage pump.
4. Pump should be checked monthly
for proper operation.

(BCAP and BCSC Series only)
Pump can be checked for proper operation
by briefly removing pump power cord
from the back of the Solid-State Water
Sensor plug and inserting directly into the
grounded outlet. In this condition, the
pump will run continuously. Once pump
operation is verified, replace pump power
cord into the back of the Solid-State Water
Sensor plug (see Figure 5).
Wipe water sensor surface regularly to
prevent silt or other coatings from building
up on sensor face (see Figure 5).
This pump contains
dielectric oil for
cooling. This oil can be harmful to the
environment. Check the state environmental
laws before disposing this oil.
