Installation / Operation

4.Install an in-line check valve to prevent flow back- wards through pump when pump shuts off.

NOTICE: Drill a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in discharge pipe just above pump body but below check valve to pre- vent air locks.

5.Install discharge plumbing. A 1-1/4” FNPT to 1-1/4” FBSPT adapter is included with the pump. Use rigid plastic pipe and wrap threads with Teflon tape. Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 – 1-1/2 turns.

Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure pump is secured in sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure pump may allow pump movement, switch interference and pre- vent pump from starting or stopping.

6.To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of rubber hose (1-7/8" (47.6mm) I.D., e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into discharge line near pump using suitable clamps.

7.Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V., 60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit. Both pump and switch are supplied with 3-wire cord sets with grounding-type plugs. Switch plug is inserted directly into outlet and pump plug inserts into opposite end of switch plug.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or kill. Pump should always be electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off ground pin.

8.If pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub- freezing atmosphere, portion of line exposed must be installed so any water remaining in pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can cause water trapped in discharge line to freeze which could result in damage to pump.

9.After piping and check valve have been installed, unit is ready for operation.

10.Check operation by filling sump with water and observing pump operation through one complete cycle.

Risk of flooding. Failure to make this operational check may lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.

OPERATION

Risk of electrick shock. Can burn or kill. Before attempting to check why unit has stopped operat- ing, disconnect power from unit. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

1.Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate pump unless it is submerged in water as seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.

2.Motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector. If temperature in motor should rise unduly, switch will cut off all power before damage can be done to motor. When motor has cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automatically and restart motor. If protector trips repeatedly, pump should be removed and checked as to cause of difficulty. Low voltage, extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.

3.Pump will not remove all water.

4.5" Tether Length

Float Switch Tether Length:

NOTICE: Do not change tether length of float switch. Float must swing through its complete arc without interference.
