5. Make sure the pump and its float switch are functioning as intended.
• Confirm that no potential obstructions exist that could inhibit switch operation.
• Verify the ON/OFF levels are within specification.
6. Confirm that there are no leaks in the pump discharge
plumbing and main home drain pipe plumbing. Refer
to "Physical Installation" on page
7. Allow the pump to operate through several ON/OFF
cycles.
8. Use an ohmmeter to check for continuity between the
incoming and outgoing connections of the piggyback
plug while raising and lowering the float.
Testing Manual Pump Operation
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of water is to
be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during operation and disconnected from power before
the pump runs dry.
• If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer's instructions. Failure to
install control in compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within manufacturer's
recommendations may result in electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
The 9EC-CIM, 9ECH-CIM, and 10ECH-CIM manual pumps do not include an automatic liquid level con-
trol.
1. Connect a discharge hose to the pump's discharge port.
2. Place pump into a basin or test reservoir.
3. Direct the opposite end of the discharge hose back into the basin or test reservoir so that the water
discharged from the hose during testing will be contained.
4. Secure the hose to prevent the water pressure created during testing from causing it to exit the
basin or test reservoir.
5. If there is a valve on the discharge hose, be sure it is open.
6. Using a separate water source, fill the basin or test reservoir until the pump is fully submerged.
NOTE: Do not overfill the basin or test reservoir.
7. Turn on the pump.
• If the pump is hardwired, turn on the circuit breaker for the pump's power circuit.
• If the pump is provided with an attachment plug on the power cord, plug the pump's power cord
into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle with voltage indicated on the pump
nameplate.
8. Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended. Refer to
9. If the pump is functioning as intended, pump is ready for use. Disconnect power from the pump if
removing it from a test reservoir.
