INSTALLATION

Electrical Connections

5. Tape the pump and switch cords to the discharge piping with electrical tape.
IMPORTANT: Follow manufacturer's instructions for switch installation, use, and safety informa-
tion.
6. Add an air relief bleed hole
• Refer to "Typical Installation" on page
• Drill this hole at a 45° angle below the horizontal plane and away from the pump.
7. Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended.
NOTE: It is normal for a stream of water to spray from the air relief bleed hole in the pump's
plumbing. Verify that this spray is captured within the basin.
8. Place cover over basin.
Electrical Connections
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one dis-
connect switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
• The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the exception
of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be
made within a junction box mounted outside of the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Employ a licensed electrician.
1. Connect the power cord to a constant source of power matching the pump nameplate voltage.
• Connect the pump to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or equipment in the cir-
cuit.
• Ensure that the fuses or circuit breaker are of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
• Plug pumps into a properly grounded receptacle.
2. Control power to the pump by either switching the power ON/OFF or by plugging and unplugging
the cord.
