Operating Instructions And Parts Manual
General Safety
I n f o rm ation (Cont.)
G E N E R A L
Do not
use to
pump flammable or explosive
fluids such as gasoline, fuel
oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use
in a flammable and/or explosive
atmosphere. Pump should only be used
to pump clear water. Personal injury
and/or property damage could result.
This pump is not
designed to handle
salt water, brine, laundry discharge or
any other application which may
contain caustic chemicals and/or
foreign materials. Pump damage could
occur if used in these applications and
will void warranty.
All wiring must be
performed by a
qualified electrician.
If the
basement
has water or moisture on the
floor, do not walk on wet
area until all power is turned
off. If the shutoff box is in
the basement, call an
electrician. Remove pump and either
repair or replace. Failure to follow this
warning could result in fatal electrical
shock.
A backupsystem
should be used.
Call 1-800-237-0987 for backup model
number.

Installation

1 . Install pump in a sump pit with
minimum size as shown in Figure 1.
Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic.
2 . The unit should be located and rest
on a solid, level foundation. Do not
place pump directly on clay, earth,
gravel or sandy surface. These
surfaces contain small stones, gravel,
sand, etc. that may clog or damage
the pump and cause pump failure.
Flood risk. If
flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure pump is
secured in sump pit to prevent
movement. Failure to secure pump
could allow pump movement and
switch interference and prevent pump
from starting or stopping.

3 . Thread check valve (not included)
into pump body carefully to avoid
stripping or cross threading. Do not
use pipe joint sealant.
4 . Connect 1-1/4" (minimum) rigid pipe
to check valve.
Support pump
and piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
5 . Protect electrical cord from sharp
object, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord and replace
damaged cords immediately.
6. Position Pump switch AWAY from
the inlet so switch is clear from
incoming water (See Figure 1).
7. A sump pit cover must be installed
to prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump.
O p e r a t i o n
Always
disconnect the power source
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain
the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1 . A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required.
Risk of electrical
shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded receptacle to reduce
the risk of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
2 . This pump is only for use on 120 Volt
(single-phase), 60 hz, 15 amp service
and is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and 3-prong, grounding type
plug. Insert the switch cord plug
directly into a 120 volt outlet.

free of foreign
material.

3 . Insert the pump power cord plug
directly into the back of the water
sensor cord plug (Figure 2).
4 . Fill sump with water. The pump will
start automatically when the water is
about 1.5" from the top of the
switch. The pump will recycle
thereafter as required.
• Sump pump will run a minimum of
4 seconds, to a maximum of 16
before stopping.
• Sump pump run time will be
determined by the sump pit size
and water flow rate into the sump
p i t .
• Under flooding conditions, the
sump pump will stop for 1 second,
every 16 seconds, and
automatically turn back on.
5 . Do not operate the pump unless it is
submerged in water. Dry running
causes pump failure.
6 . The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
7 . While the pump is draining the pit,
verify that the discharge piping is
carrying the water to a point several
feet away from the foundation.
8 . If pump discharge line is exposed to
freezing temperature, the exposed
line must be pitched to drain.
Trapped water will freeze and
damage the pump.
