PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using.

2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.

SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS

1. Make sure there is a properly installed ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit available. All pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.

2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the connection ends were to fall into the sump and become wet.

3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized

according the National Electrical Code for the current shown on the pump name plate.

4. TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician.

5. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.

6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DIS- CONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.

7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a mating 3-prong fault interrupter receptacle. If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

8. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

9. the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects

or other reproductive harm.

1. Check to be sure your power source is ca- pable of handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.

2. The installation of automatic pumps with auxiliary float switches is the responsibility of the installing party and care should be taken that the tethered float switch will not hang up on the pumping apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so that the pump will shut off. It is recommended to use rigid piping and fittings and the pit be 12" or larger in diameter.

3. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used to handle sewage or effluent.

4. Maximum continuous operating water temperature for standard model pumps must not exceed 77°F (25°C).

5. This pump has been evaluated for use with WATER only.

NOTE: A BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM IS RECOMMENDED

TO PREVENT FLOODING AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE IN THE EVENT OF MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OR POWER OUTAGE.

NOTE: Pumps with the “CSA” mark are tested to UL

standard UL778 and certified to CSA standard C22.2 No.

WARRANTY VALID IN CANADA AND MEXICO.

1. Electrical wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all other applicable state and local electrical requirements.

2. Install combination check valve and union preferably just above the sump pit to allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.

3. Minimum pit size recommended is 18” diameter and 22” deep.

4. Locate float rod guide locator hole about midpoint of the column. Snap float rod guide on to column at this location making sure that the nub on the guide snaps into the hole.

5. Unscrew float from the float rod. Insert threaded end of float rod down through eye of rod guide and screw float full back on the float rod.

6. Remove top rubber stop from float rod.

7. Pass rod through eye of pump switch.

8. Slide top rubber rod stop back onto the float rod flush with top after passing through eye of switch. WARNING: Risk of flooding. Be sure that float rod is vertical and can move up and down freely. If float is angled or binds, pump may not start, allowing flooding to occur.

9. If the lower rod stop is positioned approximately 8” from the top of the rod, the pump will automatically cycle on at a water level about 10 -12” and off approximately. For faster cycling, move lower rod stop closer to switch lever arm.

10. Thread pipe in discharge of pump. Use care not to cross thread or strip the threads. Use a full-size discharge pipe.

11. Clean basin free of debris after installation.

12. Install blocks or bricks under pump to provide a settling basin.

13. Place pump in center of sump pit.

14. Securely tape or clamp power cord to discharge pipe clear of float mechanism.

15. Check for proper ON-OFF switch operation by running water into the sump pit.

16. All installations require a proper basin cover to prevent debris from falling into the basin and to minimize accidental injury.

CAUTION:

CHECK ROD AND FLOAT FOR FREE SWITCH OPERATION

TO ENSURE THAT PUMP WILL TURN ON AND OFF.
