Description
This pump is intended for use in domestic
sump or effluent lift stations. It is suitable
for pumping effluent, wastewater, ground
water and other nonexplosive, noncorrosive
liquids with up to 3/4” solids. The pump
includes a wide angle float switch that turns
the pump on and off as the fluid level rises
and falls.
Effluent pump will
not pump raw
sewage or any substance exceeding
3/4” size.

General Safety Information
1. Know the pump application, limitations,
and po ten tial hazards.
Do not use to pump
flammable or explosive fluids
such as gasoline, fuel oil,
kerosene, etc. Do not use in
flammable and/or explosive atmospheres.
Use pump only with liquids compatible
with pump component materials. Failure
to follow this warning can result in
personal injury and/or property damage.
2. Make certain that the power source
(electric motor) conforms to the
requirements of the equipment.
Disconnect power before
servicing. If the power dis con nect is out of sight, lock
in the open po si tion and
tag it to prevent unexpected
application of power. Failure to do so
could result in fatal electrical shock!
3. Release all pressure within the system
before ser vic ing any component.
4. Drain all liquids 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 and worn
condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect the pump and
system com po nents. Perform routine
maintenance as required (See
Maintenance Section).
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for
pumps whose discharge line can be shutoff or obstructed.
9. 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 a safe distance from the
work area. Make workshop childproof with pad locks, master switch es,
and by re mov ing starter keys.
10. When wiring an elec tri cal ly driven pump
such as this, fol low all electrical and safety
codes, as well as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the Oc cu pa tion al Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of electric shock!
Never connect the green
(or green and yellow) wire
to a live terminal!

repair damaged or worn cords im me di ate ly. Use wire of adequate size to
minimize voltage drop at the motor.
16. Do not handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on a
wet or damp surface, or in water.
17. Do not hang this product by the carry
handle. Effluent pumps should be set
firmly on their legs and supported by
rigid piping. This eliminates twisting and
damage during pump operation.
18. Do not use an extension cord.
Do not walk on wet area
until all power has been
turned off. If the shut-off
box is in basement, call the
electric company to shut-off service to
the house, or call the local fire
department for instructions. Remove
pump and repair or replace. Failure to
follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.
Installation
In any installation
where property
damage and/or personal injury might
result from an inoperative or leaking
pump due to power outages, discharge
line blockage or any other reason, use
a backup system(s).
1. Thread the discharge pipe or pipe nipple
into the dis charge connection.
2. If a check valve is used, mount the check
valve in a horizontal position or at a 45°
angle with the valve pivot on top. In a
vertical position, solids will tend to lodge
on the valve flapper and can prevent it
from opening.
3. Drill a 1/16" hole in the discharge pipe
ap prox i mate ly 1" to 2” above the pump
discharge when a check valve is used.
The hole prevents air locking of the
an ap proved 3-con duc tor cord and 3prong, grounding-type plug as shown in
Fig ure 1.
Where a 2-prong
wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong re cep ta cle installed in accordance with the
NEC and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified elec tri cian.
13. It is strongly recommended that this unit
is plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). Con sult a local
electrician for installation and
availability.
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 conditions, or a
defective motor or pump.
14. This pump is designed to transfer water
in cycles. Using this pump in a
continuous duty application by ma nip u lat ing the switch to stay on, will effect
the per for mance and the life of the
product.
15. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot sur fac es, oil, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord. Re place or
2
Operating Instructions
pump at the initial start-up and if it
should lose prime.
4. A gate valve should be installed in the
system after the check valve. This gate
valve should be a full port valve which
will pass 3/4” solids or as required by
state and local codes. This gate valve
permits removal of the pump and/or
check valve for servicing.
5. A union should be installed between the
check valve and the pump so the pump
can be removed with least disturbance
of the piping.
6. The pump has a detachable tether
switch with a piggyback plug (see Figure
3). The length of the tether (distance of
cord from float to clamp) should not be
set shorter than 3-1/4 inches and should
not be used in a basin smaller than 14
inches in diameter. If using a differential
other than the factory setting, be sure
when the pump shuts off at least 4” of
fluid is left in the basin so the impeller
remains submerged.
7. When a tether switch is used, rigid dis charge pipe is required. If the pump is
allowed to move, the tether switch
could be re strict ed by the basin wall,
pre vent ing the pump from operating.
Before removing
pump from basin
for service, always disconnect electrical
power to pump and control switch. For
any work on pump or switch, ALWAYS
unplug the power cord. Do not just turn
off circuit break er or unscrew fuse.
Maintenance
Make certain that
the pump is
unplugged before attempting to
service or remove any component. This
pump is assembled in the factory using
special equipment; therefore only
authorized service dealers or qualified
electricians should attempt to repair

Operating Instructions
this unit. Improper repair can cause an
electrical shock hazard.
The pump contains
oil that may be
under pressure because of heat. Let the
pump cool for a minimum of two hours
before servicing this unit.
1. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of war ran ty will void the
warranty. It might also cause internal
leakage and damage to the unit. If
repairs are required, return the pump to
the dealer from whom it was pur chased
or call 1-800-237-0987. If motor is ever
disassembled the o-rings must be
replaced. Care must be taken to ensure
that all seals do not leak.
2. After the basin cover is removed and
necessary dis charge piping disconnected,
lift pump from basin.
3. Pump should be checked on a regular
basis for proper op er a tion. If anything
has changed since unit was new, the unit
should be removed and repaired or
replaced. Only qualified electricians or
service peo ple should at tempt to repair
this unit. Improper repair and/or
assembly can cause an electrical shock
hazard.
4. Place the pump in a suitable area where
it can be cleaned thoroughly. Remove all
scale and deposits on pump.

5. Submerge the complete pump in a
disinfectant so lu tion (10% chlorine
bleach solution) for at least one hour
before handling the pump.
6. Clean all dirt and deposits from the
pump float. Make sure float moves
freely after cleaning.
7. Clean all dirt and deposits away from
pump inlet and volute.
This pump contains
dielectric motor oil
for lubrication and motor heat transfer.
This oil can be harmful to the
environment. Check state environmental
laws before disposing of this oil. This oil
can be harmful to aquatic life so
consideration should be exercised in the
application of this pump.
