Safety 4
General Safety Information
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many
years of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances
(interruption of power to the pump, dirt/debris in the
sump, flooding that exceeds the pump’s capacity,
electrical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.)
may prevent your pump from functioning normally. To
prevent possible water damage due to flooding, consult
your dealer about installing a secondary sump pump, a
DC backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See
Troubleshooting in this manual for information about
common sump pump problems and remedies. For more
information, see your dealer or call customer service at
1-800-365-6832.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.
2. Disconnect the power before servicing.
3. Release all pressure within the system before
servicing any component.
4. Drain all water from the system before servicing.
5. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.
An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Check the hoses for a weak or worn condition before
each use. Make certain all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect the sump, pump and system
components. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
b. Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and
properly lighted – replace all unused tools
andequipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
d. Make the workshop child-proof – with padlocks,
master switches, and by removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes that apply.
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt
(single phase) and is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, pull plug before
servicing. Pump is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be
sure it is connected only to a properly grounded
grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with codes and
ordinances that apply.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualifiedelectrician.
13. Make certain the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
14. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn
cordsimmediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors
are designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or
in water.
Electrical shock hazard. Can burn or kill. If
your basement has water or moisture on floor, do not
walk on wet area until all power has been turned off.
If shut-off box is in basement, call electric company
or hydro authority to shut-off service to house, or call
your local fire department for instructions. Remove
pump and repair or re place. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
17. Do not install the pump in any location classified as
hazardous by the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
70-1984 or the Canadian Electrical Code.
Electrical shock hazard. Can burn or kill.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at 1-800-365-6832
Installation 5
Installation
1. Install the pump in a sump pit with a minimum
diameter of 14” (356mm). The sump depth should be
15”minimum (381mm). Construct the sump pit of
tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for
approved materials.
2. The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean the sump pit of small stones
and gravel which could clog the pump. Keep the
pump inlet screen clear.
3. Install the pump in the pit so that the
switch operating mechanism has maximum
possibleclearance. Do not lift the pump by the
power cord. See the Cord Lift Warning.
4. Install the discharge plumbing. When using rigid
pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap the threads with PTFE
pipe thread sealant tape. Screw the pipe into the
pump hand tight +1 – 1-1/2 turns.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound
on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can
attackplastics.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure the pump is secure in
the sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure
the pump may allow pump movement, switch
interference and prevent the pump from starting
orstopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length
of rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected
into the discharge line near the pump using
suitableclamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve to prevent backward
flow through the pump when the pump shuts off.
7. Power Supply: The pump is designed for 115V.,
60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum
15or 20 amp individual branch circuit (refer to
Specifications.) Both the pump and switch are
supplied with 3-wire cord sets with grounding-type
plugs. The switch plug is inserted directly into the
outlet and the pump plug inserts into the opposite
end of the switch plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn
or kill. The pump should always be electrically
grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a
grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway, or ground wire system. Do not modify the
cord or plug or cut off the round ground pin.
8. If the pump discharge line is exposed to an outside
sub-freezing atmosphere, the portion of the line
exposed must be installed so any water remaining in
the pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to
do this can cause the water trapped in the discharge
to freeze which could result in damage to the pump.
9. After the piping and check valve have been installed,
the unit is ready for operation.
10. Check the operation by filling the sump with
water and observing pump operation through one
complete cycle.
Risk of flooding. Failure to make this
operational check may lead to improper operation,
premature failure, and flooding.
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock.
Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by power
cord.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at 1-800-365-6832
Cord Lift Warning
Risk of electrical shock and fire.
1. Attempting to lift or support the pump by
the power cord can damage cord and cord
connections, expose bare wires, and cause a fire or
electrical shock.
2. Use lifting ring or handle on top of pump for
all lifting or lowering of pump. Disconnect the
power to the pump before doing any work on it or
attempting to remove it from the pit.
3. Lifting or supporting the pump by the power cord
will void the warranty.
Operation 6
Operation
Electrical shock hazard. Can burn or kill. Do
not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Before attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
Risk of fire and explosion. Can cause severe
injury, property damage or death. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump water only with this pump.
1. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication
and cooling. Do not operate the pump unless it is
submerged in water as the seal may be damaged if
allowed to run dry.
2. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset
thermal protector. If the temperature in the motor
should rise unduly, the switch will cut off all power
before damage can be done to the motor. When the
motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset
automatically and restart the motor. If the protector
trips repeatedly, the pump should be removed
and checked as to cause of difficulty. Low voltage,
clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could
cause cycling. Do not use extension cords.
3. The pump will not remove all water. If a manually
operated pump is operating and suddenly no water
comes out of the discharge hose, shut the unit off
immediately. The water level is probably very low
and the unit has broken prime.
Figure 1 – Float Switch Tether Length
NOTICE: Do not change the tether length of the float
switch (see Figure 1). The float must be able to swing
through its complete arc without interference.
Airlocks
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any
water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and
fail. This pump has a built-in anti-airlock hole. See Repair
Parts for the location of the hole. Leakage from the antiairlock hole is ‘normal.’
If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out the
anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or a piece of wire, and
restart the pump.
