Do not submerge

motor or allow
motor to be exposed to water. Personal
injury and/or death could result.

Do not use to pump
flammable or explosive
fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. Do not
use in a flammable and/or explosive
atmosphere. Pump should only be used
to pump clear water. Personal injury
and/or death could result.

This pump is not

designed to handle
salt water, brine, laundry discharge or
any other application which may contain
caustic chemicals and/or foreign
materials. Pump damage could occur if
used in these applications and will void
warranty.

All wiring must be

performed by a
qualified electrician.

If the basement has water
or moisture on the floor, do
not walk on wet area until
all power is turned off. If the shutoff box
is in the basement, call an electrician.
Remove pump and either repair or
replace. Failure to follow this warning
could result in fatal electrical shock.

A battery backup

system should be
used. Call 1-888-636-6628 to order an
emergency backup system.

Always disconnect 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. Insert the float rod through hole in
the switch lever (See Figure 1).

2. Place rubber grommet on float rod
in temporary position.

3. Using pliers to hold the float rod,
screw the float on as shown in
Figure 1.

movement. Failure to secure pump
could allow pump movement and
switch interference and prevent pump
from starting or stopping.

IMPORTANT: Make sure there is
adequate room for float switch to move
freely during operation.

7. Protect electrical cord from sharp
object, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord
and replace damaged cords
immediately.

8. A sump pit cover must be installed to
prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump.

Risk of
electrical shock! This pump
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.

9. Insert the float switch cord plug

directly into a 120 volt outlet (See
Figure 4).

ADJUST AND TEST

1. Fill sump with water.

2. Adjust rubber grommet into a

permanent position on float rod so
that the pump switches on with
approximately 14” of water in the
sump.

3. 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.

4. If the pump discharge line is

exposed to freezing temperature,
the exposed line must be pitched to
drain. Trapped water will freeze
and damage the pump.

1. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required.

2. This pump is for use on 120 Volt
(single phase), 60 hz, 15 amp service
and is equipped with a 3 conductor
cord and a 3 prong grounding plug.

3. Install pump in a sump pit with
minimum size as shown (See Figure

3). Construct sump pit of tile,
concrete, steel or plastic.

4. Locate unit on a solid, level
foundation. Do not place pump
directly on clay, earth, gravel or
sandy surface. These surfaces contain
small stones, gravel, sand, etc. that
may clog or damage the pump and
cause pump failure (See Figure 3).

5. (Optional) Thread check valve (not
included) into pump body carefully
to avoid stripping or cross threading.
Do not use pipe joint sealant.

6. Connect 1-1/4” rigid pipe to rubber
boot on check valve. Reverse boot
for 1-1/2” diameter pipe. Tighten
hose clamps.

Support pump and

piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.

Flood risk. If

flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure pump is
secured in sump pit to prevent
