OVERLOAD PROTECTION 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- fuse breaker at the recommended amperes.

1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be

certainpump’spowersourceisdisconnected.

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 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block. Note that plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or burned out motor.

4. A permanent ground connection from pump

to the grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory. These sump pumps come with a grounding conductor and a grounding-type 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 positioningthepump’sgroundingwire.

5. Voltage of power supply must match the

voltage of the pump.

6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of

any water, debris or sediment. Sump basin must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. These Sump pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in loca- tions classied as hazardous.

7. The following may cause injury and/or severe

damage to pump and will void the warranty. (a) Using an extension cord. (b) Cutting o the ground pin or using an adapter tting. (c) Working on pump or switch while plugged in. (d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal. (e) Running the pump continuously. (f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids. (g)Pumpinggasolineorotherammableliquids

8. Plastic PVC pipe can be installed in the

outlet piping. 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.

9. Pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids

contain solid particles larger than 1/2” (3/4” ECD75). Verify that the voltage and frequency of the pump shown on the nameplate corresponds to those available on the mains. The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with code.

Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting the plug. 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. If it doesn’t start automatically, unplug the pump and plug it back in.

For parts or assistance, call ECO-FLO Customer Service at 1-877 326-3561CAUTION: Check local codes before installing pump.

STEP 1: Pump must be installed in a suitable gas tight, properly vented basin which is at least 24” deep and is at least 18” wide for pumps tted with wide angle on/o switches and at least 14” wide for pumps tted with vertical on/o switches.

STEP 2: Pump must be placed on a hard sur- face in a sump that has been cleared of all debris. Never place the pump on clay, earth or gravel surfaces and it is suggested the pump be placed on two bricks approximately 2” apart.

STEP 3: Connect the discharge pipe, ttings and check valve to the discharge port of the pump. It is recommended that the discharge pipe diameter be equal to or larger than the discharge size of the pump. Discharge piping can be PVC, polypipe or galvanized steel. Inlet Pipe INSTALLATION

POSSIBLE CAUSES/SOLUTIONS

• Line circuit breaker is o, or fuse is blown or loose

• Water level in sump has not reached turn-on level as indicated in installation drawing.

• Pump cord is not making contact in receptacle.

• Float is stuck. It should operate freely in basin.

• If all of the above are OK, then the motor could be malfunctioning.

• Check if valve is installed backwards. Arrow on valve should point direction of ow

• Discharge shut-o valve (if used) may be closed.

• Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove pump and clean.

• Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check for clogged vent hole in pump case.

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

• Vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce distance or change the discharge ttings of the pump.

• Float is stuck in up position. Be sure oat operates freely in basin.

• Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging in and unplugging cord. Check for clogged vent hole in pump case.
