WARNING

Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or cause death.

PERSONAL INJURY OR MAJOR PROPERTY DAMAGE, READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN MANUAL AND ON PUMP.

This is a SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL. When you see this

symbol on the pump or in the manual, look for one of the following signal words and be alert to the potential for personal injury or property damage.

Warns of hazards that WILL cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause serious personal injury, death or major property damage.

Warns of hazards that CAN cause personal injury or property damage.

NOTICE: Indicates special instructions which are very important and must be followed.

THIS MANUAL MUST BE KEPT WITH THE PUMP.

MAINTAIN ALL SAFETY LABELS.

IMPORTANT PRE-INSTALLATION INFORMATION

All electrical work must be performed by a qualiﬁed technician. Always follow the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial codes.

The pump must be connected to a dedicated electrical circuit protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or fuses. Install a disconnect where required by code. Code questions should be directed to your electrical inspector. See Chart 1 for speciﬁc information.

Disconnect electrical power before installing or servicing the pump. The motor’s automatic thermal overload protection may allow an overheated pump to restart unexpectedly.

Pump is not designed for use in swimming pools, open bodies of water, hazardous liquids, or where ﬂammable gases exist.

Pumps and ﬂoats equipped with a 3-prong grounded plug must be connected to a 3-wire receptacle. Do not attach to extensions or connectors without a 3-prong grounded plug. NOTE: Removing the plug from the power cord is not allowable per NEC code. Removing the plug will void the agency listing.

CAUTION

WARNING

This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

Risk of electric shock – this

pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Sump pumps are designed to operate inter-

mittently and usually seasonally. It is recommended that you test the pump before your rainy season begins to insure that the pump and switch are operating properly.

1.2. We suggest installing a high water alarm

system and a battery back-up pump system for ﬁnished basements or areas where ﬂooding will cause property damage. A back-up generator is another option you can discuss with your pump installer. Most power outages occur during rain storms, just when you need your sump pump the most! Pump manufacturer's warranties cover only the pump. Labor and incidental damage such as ﬂooding is not covered.

2. PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS

2.1. Open all cartons and inspect for shipping

damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.

2.2. Verify that all equipment is the correct volt-

age. Warranty does not cover damage caused by connecting pumps and controls to incorrect voltage.

2.3. Is your basin sized correctly and the proper

type for the location? Diameter - It must be wide enough to allow

the pump and switch to physically ﬁt and provide room for the switch to operate freely. The vertical switch models typically require less diameter than the wide-angle ﬂoat models. See "min. basin diameter" in Chart 1.

CAUTION

Depth - It must be deeper

than the minimum depth at which the switch turns the pump On. As an example, if the pump turns on at 15" you want to use a basin deeper than 15”. See "On level" in Chart 1.

WARNING

Style - There are several

sump basin styles available. The location of the sump determines if you require a cover and what type you require. It is important to keep debris from entering the sump and clogging the pump. An open sump in a trafﬁc area such as a basement is dangerous. If children or pets will be playing

in the area a bolt-on or child-proof cover is recommended.

3. PIPING

3.1. Discharge pipe should be the same size

as the pump discharge to insure optimum performance. Using undersized pipe may dramatically reduce the ﬂow and therefore waste energy. Your pump supplier can suggest the correct pipe for your installation.

3.2. Install a threaded pipe adapter, matched

to the pipe type you are using, into the threaded pump discharge. One end will have a male thread and the other end will have a barbed connector, compression ﬁtting or solvent weld connector. Use Teﬂon® tape on all threaded joints. If using solvent welded pipe and ﬁttings it is best to dry ﬁt them ﬁrst and after verifying the ﬁt, solvent weld. A union installed just above the sump or basin cover will facilitate future maintenance and replacement. See Chart 1 for discharge sizes.

3.3. Install a line check valve within 2 feet of

the pump. Install per valve manufacturer’s instructions.

IMPORTANT - Drill a 1⁄8" (3.2mm) relief hole

in the discharge line approximately 2” (51 mm) above the pump discharge connection but below the check valve and within the sump. This “relief” hole allows trapped air to escape from the pump and prevents airlocking the pump. Failure to drill this hole is a major cause of sump pumps failing to pump after long periods of inactivity such as seasonal use. Model ST is self-venting - no hole is required.

4. INSTALLATION IN SUMP

4.1. The pump can be placed directly on the

bottom of a poly or ﬁberglass sump basin or a concrete sump bottom. If the bottom is packed gravel the stones must be larger than ½” (13mm) in diameter and the pump should be placed on bricks for support.

4.2. After connecting the discharge pipe to the

pump it can be lowered into the sump (basin). Always lower the pump by the handle and the pipe, never by the power cord. Place the pump against the basin wall so the switch is to the center. See "Installation Data".

4.3. Check to insure all piping connections are

tight. The pipes should be supported by fastening to ﬂoor joists or wall. This will prevent the pump from moving in the sump. If it moves the switch could get stuck and either keep the pump running or not let it turn on.

4.4. The power to the outlet should be Off at

this point. The dedicated outlet should supply power only to the pump.

4.5. Our sump pumps have either a single power

cord for pumps with built-in switches or two power cords for pumps with piggyback switches:

Built-In/Single Cord - plug the single power cord into a dedicated power outlet.

Piggyback/Two Power Cords - insert the piggyback switch male plug into a dedicated power outlet. You then plug the standard male pump plug into the back, female side, of the piggyback switch plug.

4.6. Fasten the power cords to the discharge

pipes using tie wraps or electrical tape. Coil and store any excess power cord outside the sump.

5. OPERATION

5.1. Turn the power On at the breaker panel

and/or the disconnect switch.

5.2. Fill the basin with water and observe where

the pump turns On and Off. It should go On well before the water overﬂows the top of the sump. The pump should go Off before the water goes below the pump suction. The On-Off cycle on models with wide-angle ﬂoat switches is adjustable. Adjustment is made by changing the tether length between the switch body and the switch tether (pivot) point. The tether length cannot be less than 3” – 3.5”. Tethers less than 3” may not allow the ﬂoat to drop down enough to turn off. See "Installation Data".

5.3. Install a cover on the sump

WARNING

basin if there is a danger of debris, children, or pets falling into the basin. See Basin “Style” in Section 2.3.

6. SEASONAL SERVICE / MAINTENANCE

6.1. If your sump pump only operates seasonally

and then sits idle for months it is recom-

mended that you test the pump before your rainy season begins. Fill the sump with water and check for debris and proper switch operation. Remove any debris which could clog the suction strainer or jam the switch. Insure that the switch operates freely and does not hit the sump wall or hang-up on piping or power cords.

7. OPTIONS

7.1. Your pump supplier has a full line of basins,

covers, high water alarms, and battery backup pump systems available to complete your system. We also sell simplex and duplex pump control panels. A duplex system is recommended when the inﬂow is constant and the pumps run almost continuously. The duplex system provides a back-up pump in the event the primary pump fails.

8. TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART

Extreme caution should be exercised when servicing electrical devices. Fatal injuries could result from electrical shock. Always disconnect the electrical power from the device being serviced unless it is necessary for the work being done.
