INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
CAUTION
• DO NOT connect to any voltage other than that listed on the nameplate.
• DO NOT use in water over 104˚F (40˚C).
• DO NOT modify the pump in any way.
• DO NOT expose pump or discharge to freezing temperatures.
• DO NOT use this product to pump salt water or brine. Use with salt water or brine will void the warranty. Pump
water only.
• The sump pit must be a minimum of 12" diameter x 10" depth for Vertical switch models usage.
Do keep the pump inlet screen clear.
• The pump MUST be placed on a solid foundation, such as a brick, stone, or other flat heavy surface. Do
not place the pump directly on the ground in sandy or rocky surfaces. Earth, sand, or gravel that enters the pump
would damage the impeller of the sump and cause flooding. Sand or mud-choked pumps can be back-flushed clean.
• Extended usage of the pump in a partially submerged or non-submerged situation may cause the pump to overheat
due to lack of heat dissipation from the water. If this occurs, the pump will shut itself off until the motor cools to its
normal temperature. Repeated overheating may cause damage to the pump.
Issue: Pump does not run.
Cause:
• Circuit breaker or fuse has tripped.
• Water level in sump has not reached turn-on level as indicated in installation drawing.
• Float may be stuck. It should operate freely in basin.
Issue: Pump runs but does not deliver water.
Cause:
• Check valve is installed backwards.
Arrow on valve should point in direction of flow.
• Discharge shut-off valve (if used) may be closed.
• Impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged.
Remove pump and clean.
• Pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging cord. Check for
clogged vent hole in pump case.
• Inlet holes in pump base are clogged. Remove pump and clean the openings.
• Vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce distance or change the discharge fittings of the pump.
Issue: Pump runs and pumps out sump, but does not stop.
Cause:
• Float is stuck in up position. Be sure float operates freely in basin.
• Defective float switch. Replace with float switch.
