• Care should be taken to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump.

• The pump must be placed on a hard level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay or gravel surfaces.

• The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to the pump.

• Install a union in the discharge line, just above the sump pit, to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.

• A check valve must be used in the discharge line to preventbackowofliquidintothebasin.Thecheck valveshouldbeafreeowvalvethatwilleasilypass solids.

• When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole 3/16” in diameter in the discharge pipe. This hole should be locatedbelowtheoorlinebetweenthepump discharge and the check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided, the pump could ”air lock” and will not pump water even though it will run.

• A union and shut-off valve can follow the check valve to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or removal of the pump.

• The remainder of the discharge line should be as short as possible with the minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict the discharge to sizes below 2”. MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

• 1-1/2” Elbow NOTE: The consumer/installer should purchase either a pre- threaded 1-1/2” MNPT pipe (or unthreaded pipe and pipe threader) or a 1-1/2” or 1-1/4” adapter (1-1/2” MNPT x 1-1/2” sliptor1-1/2”MNPTx1-1/4”slipt) Service and Repair Important: Pump should be thoroughly cleaned of trash and deposits before starting disassembly operations.
