WARNING: The pump can be used for sea

water but not inammable, corrosive,

explosive or dangerous liquids.

InstaLLatIon

Drill a 1/8″ inch hole into PVC pipe 4 inches above the pumps discharge.

Do not work on pump until power is unplugged. Do

not cut off ground pin or use an adapter tting. Do not

use an extension cord.

The pump power cord should be connected to a

separately fused, grounded line with a minimum

capacity of 15 amps.

It can be connected to non-fused breaker at the recommended amperes. Never touch the pump when it is connected to electrical power.

1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain pump power source is disconnected.

6. Piping: Plastic PVC pipe could be installed in the

outlet piping, but drain hose, galvanized steel or

copper pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging. Use thread compound on

all threaded joints unless specied otherwise.

Be sure to seal the thread connection with

tape when using the pipe tting to connect the ange.

7. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any

water, debris or sediment.

WARNING: Sump basin must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.

StormPro® sump pumps are not designed for, and

can not be installed in locations classied as hazardous.

8. Position vertical switch on discharge pipe, making sure that off level is not lower than minimum level. See Figure 1.

2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state and local codes and must be completed before priming pump. Check appropriate community agencies or contact local electrical and pump professionals.

3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be connected to a separate 15 amps circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block. Note that plugging into existing outlets may cause low

voltage at motor, causing blown fuses, tripping of motor overload, or burned out motors.

4. A permanent ground connection from pump to the grounding bar at the service panel is

mandatory, StormPro® sump pumps come

with a grounding conductor and a groundingtype attachment plug. Do not connect pump to a power supply until permanently grounded.

For maximum safety, connect pump to a circuit

equipped with a fault interrupter device when you position the pump’s grounding wire.

5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.

Note: If you purchased your pump with an Ion™ Digital

Level Control switch, please refer to its manual for

installation instructions.

9. Tighten pipe clamp around pipe and through mounting bracket slots.

10. If needed, on and off stops on switch can be

adjusted. See Figure 1.

11. Plug piggyback plug into a grounded outlet,

then plug pump into the piggyback plug. See

Figure 2.

12. Cycle the system for proper operation. Filling the basin may require a bucket or garden hose to cycle. Make adjustments if needed and cycle system again to ensure proper operation.

13. Make sure that oat is free and unobstructed.

2. The plug and connections should be protected

from water splashes. Before using the pump,

always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug).

3. Do not use the pump if it is damaged.

4. If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by

an authorized service center only.

5. Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation. Protect the plug and

the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.

WARNING: The power cable must be

replaced by qualied personnel only.

Grounding

The plug of the power cable has a double grounding

contact, so that grounding can be performed by

simply inserting the plug

Overload Protection:

This pump series has a built in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has cooled down.

14. Secure all excessive and loose cord to avoid future problems.

eLectrIcaL WIre connectIon

DANGER: Before servicing a pump, always

shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump. Make sure you are not standing in water and are wearing insulated protective sole

shoes, under ooded conditions. Contact your local electric company or a qualied, licensed electrician

for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.

WARNING: Verify that the voltage and

frequency of the pump shown on the nameplate correspond to those available on the mains.

1. The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with the law in force.

troubLeshootIng

DANGER: Shut off power to pump.

A. If pump does not run and hums, check the following:

1. Check line circuit breaker is off, or fuse is burned or loose.

2. Check water level in sump has not reached turn-on level.

3. Check pump cord is not making contact in receptacle.

4. Check oat is stuck. It should operate freely in basin.

5. Check if all of the above are OK, then the motor could be malfunctioning.

5. Inlet holes in pump base are clogged. Remove pump and clean the openings.

6. Vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce

distance or change the discharge ttings of the

pump.

C. If pump runs and pumps out sump, but does not stop, check the following:
