should be placed in a solid foundation. If the bottom is packed

gravel the stones must be larger than ½" in diameter and the

pump should be placed on bricks for support.

4.2. After connecting the discharge pipe to the pump it can be

lowered into the sump (basin). Always lower the pump by the

handle and the pipe, never by the power cord. Place the pump

against the basin wall so the float is to the center.

4.3 Check to insure all piping connections are tight. The pipes

should be supported mechanically. This will prevent the pump

from moving in the sump. Make sure the float switch will move

freely from the bottom to top, otherwise it could get stuck and

either keep the pump running or not let it turn on.

4.4. The power to the outlet should be Off at this point. The

dedicated outlet should supply power only to the pump.

4.5. Fasten the power cords to the discharge pipes using tie

wraps or electrical tape. Coil and store any excess power cord

safely outside the sump.

5. OPERATION

5.1. Turn the power on at the breaker panel and/or the

disconnect switch.

5.2. Fill the basin with water, the tank or the place the pump

will be operating and observe where the pump turns On and

Off. It should go On well before the water overflows the top of

the sump. The pump should go Off before the water goes below

the pump suction. The On-Off cycle on models with wide-angle

float switches is adjustable. Adjustment is made by changing

the tether length between the switch body and the switch tether

(pivot) point.

WARNING

6. SEASONAL

6.1. If your sump pump only operates seasonally and then

sits idle for months it is recommended that you test the pump

before your rainy season begins. Fill the sump with water and

check for debris and proper switch operation. Remove any

debris which could clog the suction strainer or jam the switch.

Insure that the switch operates freely and does not hit the sump

wall or hang-up on piping or power cords.

7.OPTIONS

7.1. Your pump supplier has a full line of basins, covers, high

water alarms, and battery backup pump systems available to

complete your system.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING

Extreme caution should be exercised when servicing electrical

devices. Fatal injuries could result from electrical shock. Always

disconnect the electrical power from the device being serviced

unless it is necessary for the work being done.
