Installation
Instructions
These important instructions

performance of your pump.
Before installation, check
your local electrical and
plumbing codes.
1. Provide proper pit on sewage
tank. Run time minimum is
two minutes. For maximum
pump life three minutes is
recommended.
2. Make sure sump is free of
string, cloth, nails, gravel, etc.
before installing pump.
3. Do not set pump directly on
the bottom of sump if it is
not solid. Raise the pump by
placing bricks or concrete
blocks underneath it.
4. Use steel or plastic pipe for
all connecting lines between
pump and sewer outlet.
Note: Some city regulations
do not allow installing a pump
with plastic pipe. Check local
regulations.
5. In applications where the
pump may sit idle for months
at a time, it is recommended
that the pump(s) be cycled
every month to ensure the
pumping system is working
properly when needed.
6. A Hydromatic check valve
should be installed in
discharge pipe.
7. An audible alarm system for
high water conditions should
be installed in every pump for
maximum protection. Contact
your Hydromatic distributor for
proper control panel.
NOTE: Wire pump(s) and
panel to comply with local and
state codes.
8. Use pump partially or
completely submerged for
pumping waterlike liquids
(temperature to 140°F). The
SKHS Series will pump solid
materials up to 2" (spherical)
in diameter. This pump has
not been investigated for use
in swimming pool areas.
9. CAUTION: Do not pump
flammable liquids. Strong
chemicals or salt water
should not be pumped
without consulting your
Hydromatic distributor for
proper seals and coatings.
