Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Installation
1. Install pump in a sump pit with
minimum size as shown in Figure 2.
Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic.
Grounded
Outlet
Figure 2
2. The unit should be located and
rest 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.
Flood risk. If fl exible
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. Thread check valve (Blue Angel
offers Model 66005-BLA) into pump
body carefully to avoid stripping
or cross threading. Do not use pipe
joint sealant.
4. Connect 1-1/2 inch rigid pipe to
rubber boot on check valve. Reverse
boot for 1-1/4 inch diameter pipe.
Tighten hose clamps.
Support pump and
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.
5. Protect electrical cord from
sharp object, hot surfaces, oil
and chemicals. Avoid kinking the

immediately.
IMPORTANT: Make sure there is
adequate room for the switch to
operate.
6. A sump pit cover must be installed
to prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump.
7. FOR BWSCAP MODELS ONLY:
Position pump switch AWAY from
the inlet so switch is clear from
incoming water (See Figure 3).
Operation
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. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required.
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.
2. This pump is only for use on 120 Volt
(single-phase), 60 hz, 15 amp service
and is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and 3-prong, grounding type

plug. Insert the float switch cord
plug directly into a 120 volt outlet.
3. Insert the pump power cord plug
directly into the back of the float
switch cord plug or solid-state water
sensor cord plug (See Figures 4a and
4b).

4. Fill sump with water. The pump will
start automatically when the water
has filled the sump to the cut-in
level. The pump will stop when the
water reaches the cut-out level. See

specifications for cut-in/out levels.
The pump will recycle thereafter as
required.
5. Do not operate the pump unless it
is submerged in water. Dry running
causes pump failure.
6. The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
7. 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.
8. 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.
FOR BWSCAP MODELS ONLY:
9. Sump pump will turn on, when
water is about 1.5 inch from the top
of the switch.
10. Sump pump will run a minimum of 4
seconds, to a maximum of 16 before
stopping.
11. Sump pump run time will be
determined by the sump pit size and
water flow rate into the sump pit.
12. Under flooding conditions, the sump
pump will stop for 1 second, every
16 seconds, and automatically turn
back on.
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 tag in the open (off)
position to prevent 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.
3. Inlet should be kept clean and free
of all foreign objects and inspect
annually. A clogged inlet will
damage pump.
4.
Pump should be checked monthly for
proper operation.
This pump contains
dielectric oil for
cooling. This oil can be harmful to
the environment. Check the state
environmental laws before disposing
this oil.
