INSTALLATION

Do not work on pump until

power is unplugged.

use an adapter fitting.

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 certain pump's power source is disconnected.
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.

1. 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 positioning the pump's grounding wire.

1. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.

2. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any water, debris or sediment.

plumbing codes. These Sump pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous.

1. The following may cause injury and/or severe damage to pump and will void the warranty.

(a) Using an extension cord.

(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter fitting.
(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) Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids

1. 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.
2. Pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids contain solid particles larger than 1/2" (3/4" ECD75).

ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION

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.

• For outdoor use it is necessary to use cable with a length of 'at least 8'. The plug and connection should be protected from water splashes. Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug)
• Do not use pump if it is damaged
• If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by an authorized service center.
• Make sure that electric connections are protected from flooding. Protect the plug and the power cable from heat or sharp edges.

The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel

only. Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact, so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting the plug.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

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.

INSTALLATION

Discharge piping can be PVC, polypipe or galvanized steel.

CAUTION:

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 fitted with wide angle on/off switches and at least 14" wide for pumps fitted with vertical on/off switches.

STEP 2:

Pump must be placed on a hard surface 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, fittings 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHECKLIST (Caution: shut off power to pump)

PROBLEMS	POSSIBLE CAUSES/SOLUTIONS
PUMP DOES NOT RUN AND MAKES HUMMING SOUND	Line circuit breaker is off, or fuse is blown or looseWater 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.
PUMP RUNS BUT DOES NOT DELIVER WATER	Check if valve is installed backwards.Arrow on valve should point direction of flowDischarge shut-off 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 fittings of the pump.
PUMP RUNS AND PUMPS OUT SUMP, BUT DOES NOT STOP	Float is stuck in up position. Be sure float operates freely in basin.Defective float switch. Replace float switch.
PUMP RUNS BUT ONLY DELIVERS A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER	Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging in and unplugging cord. Check for clogged vent hole in pump case.Vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce distance or change the discharge fitting of the pump. Inlet holes in pump base are clogged.Remove pump and clean the strainer and openings.Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged.Remove pump and clean.Pump impeller is partially clogged with tar or paint, causing motor to run slow and overload. Remove pump and clean.
FUSE BLOWS OR CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIPS WHEN PUMP STARTS	Pump impeller is partially clogged causing motor to run slow and overload. Remove pump and clean.Motor stator may be defective.Fuse size or circuit breaker may be too small. (must be 15 amps).Impeller or volute opening are fully or partially clogged.Remove pump and clean .
MOTOR RUNS FOR A SHORT TIME, THEN STOPS	Inlet holes in pump base are clogged. Remove pump and clean the openings.Pump impeller is partially clogged causing motor to run slow and overload. Remove pump and clean.Motor stator may be defective.Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged.Remove pump and clean. Also clean the strainer if one is installed.

ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS

Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump. Make sure you are not standing in water and are

wearing insulated protective sole shoes, under flooded conditions. Contact your local electric company or a qualified licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal
