Installation / Electrical / Operation

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

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of elec- tric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway or ground wire system. Ground terminal on pump cord plug is provided for your protection. DO NOT REMOVE!

A ground fault circuit interrupter is recommended for use with any electrical appliance submerged in water. For instal- lation of such a circuit, consult a licensed electrician.

6.After the piping and the check valve (if needed) have been installed, the unit is ready for operation

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

Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational check may lead to flooding and premature failure.

OPERATION

Risk of electric shock. Shock can burn or kill. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

1.Keep the pump inlet screen clear.

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

3.The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal pro- tector. If the temperature in the motor should rise unduly, the switch will cut off all of the power before any damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has cooled suf- ficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, the pump should be removed and checked for the cause of the difficulty. Low voltage, long extension cords, a clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling. Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart on Page 5 for additional information.

4.Periodically inspect the pump, system components and sump for debris and foreign objects. Keep the sump free of all refuse. Perform routine maintenance as required.

Risk of flooding. Flooding can cause personal injury or property damage. This pump comes with the auto- matic float switch mounted on the motor cover ready for oper- ation. Do not change switch settings. Refer to the “Motor, Switch & Cord Specifications” chart for switch settings.

MAINTENANCE

Risk of electrical shock. Shock can burn or kill. Always unplug the pump from the power source before servic- ing any system component. Do not lift pump by power cord.

1. Disconnect power before servicing.

Risk of Electric shock. Shock can burn or cause death. When servicing the system always disconnect power cord from the electrical outlet.

2.Loosen the discharge pipe.

3.Use the pump handle to lift the pump out of the sump pit and place the pump on a clean level surface.

4.To clean the screen, remove the three screws holding the screen to the pump base (See Figure 1), remove and rinse off the screen.
