It is recommended that the pit be 18" in diameter or larger to ac com mo date both a pri ma ry and a DC backup pump.

STEP 2 Float Stop Adjustment

2.1) With the pump in the pit, measure the desired ﬂ oat stop on/off positions as shown in Fig. 2.1. These two dimen- sions will de ter mine the on/off levels of the pump. The spacing between the upper and lower stops will de ter mine the amount of water removed from the pit.

Note: It may be necessary to raise the ﬂ oat rod guide to adjust the stops to the dimensions determined in Step 2.1.

The ﬂ oat rod guide should NEVER be between the upper and lower stop.

2.2) Remove the pump from the pit and adjust the ﬂ oat stops as necessary. Tighten all screws.

Note: If a brick, or similar material has been used to raise the pump in the pit, it will be necessary to account for the

thickness of the brick.
