GENERAL SAFETY
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many years of troublefree 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 retailer about a secondary AC sump pump, a DC
backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the
“Troubleshooting Chart” in this manual for information about common
sump pump problems and remedies. For more information, see your
retailer or call Simer customer service at 1-800-468-7867.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump water
only with this pump. Failure to follow this warning can result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose is
used, make sure pump is secured in sump to prevent movement.
Failure to secure pump may allow pump movement, switch
interference and prevent pump from starting or stopping.
2. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making
certain all connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Keep sump,
pump and system free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose discharge line
can be shut-off or obstructed.
10. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted –
replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master switches,
and by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and
safety codes, as well as most recent National Electrical Code (NEC)
and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Pump motor is equipped with an automatic reset-
ting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly.
12. Risk of electric shock. This equipment is only for use
on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is
connected to properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances.
13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.
15. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at motor. Refer
to most recent National Electrical Code.
16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to
operate at high temperatures.
17. The oil-filled motor in this pump was not designed for use in
water containing fish. Do not use in water where fish are present.

NOTICE: This unit is not designed as a waterfall or fountain pump, or for
applications involving salt water or brine! Use with waterfalls, fountains,
salt water or brine will void warranty.

Not designed as a swimming pool drainer.
DESCRIPTION
The submersible pump is designed for water removal in home applications. Pump can be used for sump service and dewatering. Unit is constructed of hi-impact corrosion resistant plastic. Screened inlet prevents large solids from entering pump.
PERFORMANCE
INSTALLATION
Do not use power cord to lift motor. Always use handle.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid foundation.
Do not suspend pump by means of discharge pipe or power cord.
Keep pump inlet screen clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid stripping or
crossing threads.
a. To install with garden hose, install adapter provided with pump.
NOTICE: To keep friction as low as possible, hose must be 3/4"
or larger. Keep hose as short as possible.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread with
Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*. Screw pipe into pump
hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ. operation and
requires an individual branch circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity. It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug
for use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. 3 wire extension cord, of at
least 14 AWG (2mm
2
) size is suggested, with larger sizes for runs
over 25 ft (7M). For safety, 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 cut off the round grounding prong.
The pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is indication of motor overloading as a result of operating pump at low heads (low discharge restriction), excessively
high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.
OPERATION
Risk of burns or death from electric shock. Do not
handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on
wet or damp surface, or in water. Disconnect power from pump
before handling, servicing, or attempting to repair pump.
1. The pump must be standing in at least 1/2" (12.7mm) of water
before starting it (one inch (25.4 mm) is better). The shaft seal is
water lubricated and may be damaged if pump runs dry.
2. After starting, the pump will lower the water level to 3/16" (4.75
mm) before losing suction. It will not pick up water less than 3/16"
deep when running and will not operate successfully if started in
only 3/16" of water.
3. Do not leave pump unattended! If the pump has been operating
satisfactorily and the discharge stream suddenly stops coming out
of the hose, stop the pump immediately; do not allow it to run dry.
A mop or squeegee will be needed to remove remaining water.
4. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal
overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector will stop the motor before it is damaged. When the motor has
cooled sufficiently, the overload protector will reset itself and the
motor will restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check it to find the problem.
Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, too much
back pressure in the discharge hose (as when pumping through
50' (15 M) of coiled hose), or running pump with no load, can all
cause excessive cycling and overheating. However, if the motor
overload stops the pump, allow it to cool for one hour before
restarting. Motor will not restart before the overload has cooled.

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 an anti-airlock
hole in the bottom of the pump body. If you suspect an airlock, unplug
the pump, clean out the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or piece of
wire, and restart the pump.
IMPORTANT: This hole allows the pump to start priming within
15 seconds in as little as 1/2" of water. NEVER restart pump in less
than 1/2" of water. Leakage from the anti-airlock hole is normal.
