Figure 6
5. Finish installing the necessary plumbing.
Follow the glue manufacturer's instructions for
safety precautions and curing time.
Risk of flooding. Make sure the pump
cannot move in the sump. If the pump moves
when it runs, the piping or sump wall may
interfere with the switch and prevent the pump
from starting or stopping.
Sump Lid omitted

Figure 7
6A. Power Supply: This pump requires a 115V.,
60 Hz., 15 amp individual branch circuit.
The circuit must be grounded and should be
dedicated to the sump pump.
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at 1-800-365-6832
6B. The pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord set
with grounding-type plug. Plug the switch
directly into the outlet and plug the pump into
the switch's plug.
Electrical shock hazard. Always
ground the pump to a suitable electrical ground,
such as a grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded metallic raceway, or a ground wire
system. Do not cut off the round ground pin.
Sump Lid omitted

Figure 8
7A. After you have installed the piping, check
valve, and float switch, the pump is ready for
operation.
7B. Check the pump by filling the sump with water
and observing the pump's operation through
one complete cycle. For switch settings see
Electrical and Switch Specifications.
Risk of flooding. Failure to make
this operational check may lead to improper
operation, premature failure, and flooding.
The IntelliShield™ Switch
NOTICE: Keep the IntelliShield control box dry
at all times. Do not connect it to an extension
cord or let it get into the sump pit.
The IntelliShield switch consists of three stainless
steel rods (probes) mounted vertically on the
side of the pump . These are the OFF, ON, and
GROUND probes (see Figure 9).
Normal Operation
When the water level rises to the level of the
ON probe (the short stainless rod), the pump
starts. As the pump runs, the water level drops.
When it drops below the tip of the OFF probe
(the long stainless rod with the long plastic
sleeve), the pump stops.
