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 the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this manual for information about common sump pump problems and remedies. For
more information, see your dealer or call customer service
at 1-888-782-7483.

MOTOR, SWITCH & CORD
SPECIFICATIONS
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
Risk of fire or explosion. Do not use in
explosive atmospheres. Pump water only with this
pump.
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 hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
7. Inspect the sump, pump and system components monthly. Keep free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
Fire hazard. Do not store or rest objects
on or near motor or switch linkage. Keep all flammable objects or liquids away from motor.
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 work area clean, uncluttered and properly light-
ed – 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.
10. 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).
11. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase)
current and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor
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. Never connect green (or
green and yellow) wire in cord to a live terminal!
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must
be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
13. Make certain that power source conforms to 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 cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor.Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electrical shock. If your basement has water or moisture on floor, do not walk on
wet area until all power has been turned off. If shutoff box is in basement, call electric company to shutoff service to house, or call local fire department for
instructions. Remove pump and repair or replace.
Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.
INSTALLATION
1. This unit can be installed in a sump pit with a minimum
diameter of 12"(30cm) and a depth of 12"(30cm).The
sump pit may be constructed of tile, concrete, steel or
plastic. Check the local codes for approved materials.
2. Install the pump on a solid, level foundation, as near as
possible to the center of the sump pit. Do not hang the
pump from the discharge pipe or power cord.
Fire hazard. Pump must be level (column must be vertical) when operating. If motor is tilted, internal start/run switch may overheat and damage motor.
3. The pump should not be installed on clay, ear th or sand
surfaces.Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel
which could clog the pump. Keep the pump inlet screen
clear.
4. Thread the outlet pipe into the pump body carefully to
avoid stripping or crossing threads.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinar y pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe or pump. Pipe joint compound can attack
plastics and damage the pump.
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 suitable clamps.
Risk of electric shock. Pump is supplied
with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for
use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. Do not modify cord
or plug or cut off the round grounding prong. For
safety, outlet must 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.

6. Locate the float rod guide (Key No. 10) about 6" (16cm)
below the motor.Clamp the guide to the column with the
screw (Key No. 11).
Risk of flooding. Be sure that guide is
securely clamped so 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.
7. Screw the float onto the threaded end of the rod.The
threads on the rod will cut threads into the corrosion
resistant float.
8. Insert the plain end of float rod up through eye of rod
guide.
9. Slide one rod stop on the float rod before passing the rod
through the eye of the pump switch.Slide the second rod
stop on the rod after passing through the eye of switch.
Position the second rod stop flush with top of the pump.
See the Exploded View on Page 3.
10. Position the lower rod stop to within 8"(20cm) of switch
lever arm.With the lower rod stop in this position, the
pump will automatically cycle at approximately 2-1/2"
(6cm) off and 10-12" (25-30cm) on. For faster cycling,
move the lower rod stop closer to switch lever arm.
11. If the pump discharge line is exposed to an outside subfreezing atmosphere, then 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
water trapped in the discharge to freeze which could
result in damage to pump.
12. Install an in-line check valve to prevent backward flow
through the pump after it shuts off.
NOTICE: If using a check valve, drill a 1/8" (3.2mm) hole
in the discharge pipe just above pump body to prevent
air locks.
13. After all the piping and controls have been installed, the
unit is ready for operation.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge
hose is used, pump may move when motor starts. If it
moves far enough so that switch hits side of the sump,
the switch may stick and prevent the pump from starting.
Make sure the pump is secured so it cannot move
around in the sump.
14. Run the pump through one cycle to check the float switch
operation.
Sudden starts.The pump motor is
equipped with automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an
indication of motor overloading as a result of operating
the pump at low heads (low discharge restriction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect
motor connections, or a defective motor.
OPERATION / MAINTENANCE
Risk of electrical shock. Do not touch sump
pump, pump motor, water, or discharge piping when
pump is connected to electrical power. Always disconnect pump cord (power) before handling. Before attempting to service, always disconnect power from unit.
1. Plug this unit into a 115V outlet, on an individual branch
circuit, with a Class A, 15 amp GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter). Consult an electrician for information
and availability.
2. Fill the sump pit with water.The pump will star t automati-
cally when the lower rod stop actuates the switch lever
arm. When the upper rod stop actuates the switch lever
arm, the pump will stop.
NOTICE: Do not allow the pump to run dr y.
3. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal
protector to protect the unit from overheating.When the
motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart the motor. Repeated tr ipping could
be caused by low voltage, long extension cords, a
clogged impeller, or very low head or lift, etc. Cycling of
the protector will cause an eventual motor burnout.
