Safety Warnings
Items included:
Pump
Dual float and controller
Stainless steel hose clamp
2" x 1-1/2" reducer adapter
(on 3/4 HP pump only)
Note:
The 3/4 HP pump will accomodate a 2" discharge pipe. However, most
homes have 1-1/2" pipes. Therefore we have included a 2" x 1-1/2"
reducer adapter with this pump. You may replace your 1-1/2" discharge
pipe with a 2" discharge pipe, and a 2" adapter to obtain the optimum
gallons per hour.
You may also need:
1-1/2" or 2" rigid PVC pipe to
connect to the existing plumbing
A check valve or union
PVC pipe cleaner and cement
A surge protector
Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the Basement Watchdog pumps. You will need to refer to
it before attempting any installation or maintenance.
ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible.
Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property
damage, serious injury, or death.
Risk of electric shock. To reduce this risk, observe the
WARNING
following precautions.
• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or making
adjustments.
• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface while the pump is plugged into the power source.
• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is
wired with a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that
it is only connected to a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle (preferably with ground
fault circuit interrupt). If you have a 2-prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician
replace it with a 3-prong receptacle according to local codes and ordinances.
• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the ground prong from the plug.
• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical outlet should be within the length of the
pump's power cord, and at least 4 feet above the floor level to minimize potential
hazards from flood conditions.
• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid
kinking the cord.
• MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle the power
requirements noted on the nameplate of the pump.
To reduce the risk of hazards that can cause injury or
CAUTION
property damage, observe the following precautions.
• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.
• DO NOT expose the control unit to rain or snow.
• DO NOT operate the pump or control unit if it has been damaged in any way.
• DO NOT use sump pumps in pits handling raw sewage, salt water, or hazardous liquids.
• DO NOT disassemble the pump or control unit. When service is required, contact
