very important to know and understand.
This information is provided for SAFETY
and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
To help recognize this information,
observe the following symbols.

Danger indicates

an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in death or serious
injury.

Warning indicates

a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

Caution indicates a

potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, MAY result in minor or
moderate injury.

Notice indicates

important
information, that if not followed, may
cause damage to equipment.

General Safety
Information

1. Know the pump application,
limitations, and potential 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 dis­connect is out of sight, lock
in the open position and
tag it to prevent unexpected
application of power. Failure to do so
could result in fatal electrical shock!

10. When wiring an electrically driven
pump such as this, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well
as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the Occu­pational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).

Risk of electric shock! Never
connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live
terminal!

11. This equipment is only for use on
120 volt (single-phase) and is
equipped with an approved 3-con­ductor cord and 3-prong,
grounding-type plug as shown in
Figure 1.

Where a 2-prong

wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with a
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the NEC
and local codes and ordinances.

12. All wiring should be performed by a

qualified electrician.

General Safety
Information (Continued)

3. Release all pressure within the
system before servicing any
component.

4. Drain all liquids from the system
before servicing.

This pump contains

dielectric motor oil
for motor heat transfer. Care should be
taken when disposing of this oil. Do
not use this pump in ponds or fountains
because the motor oil can be harmful to
aquatic life.

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 components. Perform
routine maintenance as required
(See Maintenance Section).

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 lighted;
replace all unused tools and
equipment.

c. Keep visitors a safe distance from

the work area. Make workshop

Operating Instructions

13. It is strongly recommended that this
unit is plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Consult 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 ma­nipulating the switch to stay on,
will effect the performance and the
life of the product.

15. Protect electrical cord from sharp

objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately. 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. Sewage 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.

General Safety
Information (Continued)

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 discharge
connection.

2. If a check valve is used in a solids

handling system 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

Operating Instructions

3. Drill a 1/16" hole in the discharge
pipe approximately 1" to 2” above
the pump discharge when a check
valve is used. The hole prevents air
locking of the 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 2" 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
discharge pipe is required. If the
pump is allowed to move, the tether
switch could be restricted by the
basin wall, preventing 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 breaker 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 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 warranty 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 purchased or call 1-800-237-

0987.

2. After the basin cover is removed
and necessary discharge piping
disconnected, lift pump from basin.

3. Pump should be checked on a
regular basis for proper operation.
If anything has changed since unit
was new, the unit should be
removed and replaced. Only
qualified electricians or service peo­ple should attempt 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 solution (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.
