General Information / Installation
14. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oils, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or
repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electric shock. Can burn or kill. If your
basement has water or moisture on floor, do not walk on the
wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-off box
is in the basement, call electric company or hydro authority to
shut-off the service to house, or call your local fire department
for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.
17. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
18. DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.
19. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and
can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or
damage motor.
20. DO NOT remove the grounding prong from or modify the
plug. To protect against electrical shock, the power cord is a
three-wire conductor and includes a 3-prong grounded
plug. Plug the pump into a 3-wire, grounded, grounding-
type receptacle. Connect the pump according to electrical
codes that apply.
21. Connect or wire the pump to an individual branch circuit
with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses
or circuit breakers according to the Motor, Switch & Cord
Specifications Chart.
DESCRIPTION
This Submersible Sump Pump has a thermoplastic body and
base and is designed for use in home sumps. The unit is
equipped with a 3-prong grounding-type power cord. The shad-
ed-pole motor is oil filled and sealed for cooler running. The
sleeve bearings on the motor shaft never need lubrication. The
pump includes automatic reset thermal protection.

12" (305mm). Construct the sump pit of tile, concrete, steel
or plastic. Check the local codes for approved materials.
The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand sur-
faces. Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel which
could clog the pump. Keep the pump suction housing clear
of debris.

through the pump when the pump shuts off.
A. When using rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap the dis-
charge pipe thread with Teflon tape. Screw the pipe into
the pump discharge port hand tight +1 – 1-1/2 turns.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.
NOTICE: Thread the discharge pipe into the pump body
carefully to avoid stripping or crossing threads.
B. If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump
is secured in the sump to prevent movement. Do not use
a flexible discharge pipe in any permanent installation.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal
injury or property damage. Failure to secure pump may
allow pump movement, switch interference and prevent
pump from starting or stopping.
NOTICE: The discharge piping should be as short as pos-
sible to reduce pipe friction losses. Discharge pipe diam-
eter should be equal to or larger than the discharge size
of the pump. Smaller pipe diameters will restrict the
capacity of the pump and reduce performance.
C. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.
To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of
rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into
the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
If the pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-
freezing atmosphere, the portion of the line exposed
must be installed so any water remaining in the pipe will
drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can
cause any water trapped in the discharge line to freeze
which could result in damage to pump.
