WARNING INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. TO REDUCE THIS RISK, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS:

MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. 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.

NEVER REMOVE THE GROUND PRONG from the plug or bypass the grounding wires.

FOR ADDED SAFETY the receptacle should be protected with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). All wiring must be performed by a qualified licensed electrician and comply with the National Electric Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

DO NOT REMOVE POWER SUPPLY CORD and strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump.

MAKE SURE THE POWER SUPPLY HAS A FUSE OR CIRCUIT BREAKER rated to handle the current (amps) noted on the pump nameplate or cordtag.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords could present a safety hazard if not sized properly, become damaged or the connection falls into the sump. If receptacle is not within reach of the pump's power cord, contact a qualified licensed electrician to install a new receptacle.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PUMP from power supply before installing, servicing or making any adjustments.

DO NOT SUBMERGE PEDESTAL MOTOR or allow motor to be exposed to water.

DO NOT WALK on the floor when water is present until all power is turned off. If the electric panel is in the basement, call an electrician.

NEVER HANDLE A PUMP or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp floor while the pump is plugged into the power supply.

WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool and marine areas.

DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in a fl ammable and/or explosive atmosphere. Pump should only be used to pump clear water. Personal injury and/or property damage could result.

PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO TRANSFER WATER INTENDED FOR DRINKING. Do not use the pump for moving water that will be used for potable/drinking water. Pump should only be used in applications for which it is designed.

CAUTION

CAUTION INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE INJURY.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HAZARDS THAT CAN CAUSE INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS:

IF THIS PUMP CONTAINS A SWITCH FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION, IT IS THE INSTALLER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS ABLE TO OPERATE WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTIONS WITHIN THE BASIN. It is recommended that the installer test and observe the pump's operation for several cycles after installation.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE RIGID PIPING AND FITTINGS to secure the pump in the basin and reduce pump movement. Pump movement can prevent the switch from operating correctly.

THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSPECTED 3 TO 4 TIMES PER YEAR for pump movement or buildup of debris on the switch or float. Reposition pump if it has moved. Remove any debris that could interfere with the operation of the switch.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A CHECK VALVE with this pump to prevent the back-flow of fluid after each pump cycle.

DO NOT INSTALL OR OPERATE THE PUMP IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY.

DO NOT LIFT OR CARRY THE PUMP BY THE POWER CORD. Use the pump's handle.

DO NOT USE THIS PUMP IN MUD, SAND, CEMENT, OIL OR CHEMICALS.

DO NOT USE SUMP AND EFFLUENT PUMPS TO HANDLE RAW SEWAGE.

AN INDEPENDENT HIGH WATER ALARM OR BACK UP PUMP SHOULD BE USED when risk of property damage from high water levels exists

1. Clean the basin of all debris.
2. Assemble switch or fl oat if needed. Refer to warranty and service parts sheet for specific directions.
3. Set the pump on a solid, level surface. Do not place pump directly on clay, earth, gravel or sand. A brick or block may be installed under the pump to provide a solid base.
4. Position pump so the switch is away from the inlet so switch is clear from incoming water. Verify the switch has at least 1 in. clearance to the side wall of the basin and is free to move throughout its movement. If optional control device or fl oat is used, follow mounting instruction supplied with device or fl oat.
5. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional and state codes. Rigid PVC pipe is recommended.

6. If required, drill 1/8 in. "weep" hole in the discharge pipe 1 in. above the pump discharge. Water stream will be visible from the hole when the pump is running. The hole must be cleaned periodically.

7. Install a union to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or service.

8. Install a check valve (required) to prevent back-flow. The check valve may be positioned just above the basin to allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning and service.
9. Install a gate valve or ball valve if required by local, regional or state code.
10. Secure power supply cord to discharge pipe using cable or zip ties to prevent possible switch entanglement.
11. Connect pump power supply cord to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
12. Fill the basin with water. The pump will start when the water level has reached the switch-on level.
13. The pump will stop when the water level has reached the switch-off level.
14. Verify the switch is operating without any obstruction from the pump, piping and basin.
15. Fill the basin with water again. While the pump is draining the basin, verify the discharge pipe is carrying the water to a point at least 3 ft. away from the foundation. If the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures, the pipe must be positioned in a downward slope away from the foundation so any remaining water will drain away and not freeze.
16. Secure the basin cover and gasket to the basin to prevent debris from falling into the basin, prevent personal injury, and to contain gases and/or odors.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM POWER SUPPLY before installing, servicing or making any adjustments.

WARNING

LET PUMP COOL FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE. Submersible pumps contain oil that become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.

1. Submersible pump models have permanently lubricated bearings and require no additional lubrication.
2. The pump should be inspected 3-4 times per year for pump movement or buildup of debris on the switch or float. Reposition pump if it has moved. Remove any debris that could interfere with the operation of the switch.

WARNING

DO NOT SUBMERGE PEDESTAL MOTOR or allow motor to be exposed to water.

1. Submersible pump may contain dielectric oil for cooling. Dielectric oil can be harmful to the environment. Follow state environmental laws when disposing of oil.
2. 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, excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor conditions, or a faulty motor or pump.
