Operating Instructions

an approved 3-conductor cord and 3- prong, grounding-type plug as shown in Figure 1.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it must be replaced with

aproperly grounded 3-prong recepta- cle installed in accordance with the NEC and local codes and ordinances.

12.All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.

13.It is strongly recommended that this unit is plugged into a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Consult a local electrician for installation and availability.

The pump motor is equipped with

automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of operating the pump at low heads (low discharge restriction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor conditions, or a defective motor or pump.

14.This pump is designed to transfer water in cycles. Using this pump in a continuous duty application by manipu- lating the switch to stay on, will effect the performance and the life of the product.

15.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or

repair damaged or worn cords immedi- ately. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at the motor.

16.Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

17.Do not hang this product by the carry handle. Effluent pumps should be set firmly on their legs and supported by rigid piping. This eliminates twisting and damage during pump operation.

18.Do not use an extension cord.

Do not walk on wet area until all power has been turned off. If the shut-off box is in basement, call the

electric company to shut-off service to the house, or call the local fire department for instructions. Remove pump and repair or replace. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal electrical shock.

Installation

In any installation where property

damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power outages, discharge line blockage or any other reason, use a backup system(s).

1.Thread the discharge pipe or pipe nipple into the discharge connection.

2.If a check valve is used, mount the check valve in a horizontal position or at a 45° angle with the valve pivot on top. In a vertical position, solids will tend to lodge on the valve flapper and can prevent it from opening.

3.Drill a 1/16" hole in the discharge pipe approximately 1" to 2” above the pump discharge when a check valve is used. The hole prevents air locking of the

pump at the initial start-up and if it should lose prime.

4.A gate valve should be installed in the system after the check valve. This gate valve should be a full port valve which will pass 3/4” solids or as required by state and local codes. This gate valve permits removal of the pump and/or check valve for servicing.

5.A union should be installed between the check valve and the pump so the pump can be removed with least disturbance of the piping.

6.The pump has a detachable tether switch with a piggyback plug (see Figure 3). The length of the tether (distance of cord from float to clamp) should not be set shorter than 3-1/4 inches and should not be used in a basin smaller than 14 inches in diameter. If using a differential other than the factory setting, be sure when the pump shuts off at least 4” of fluid is left in the basin so the impeller remains submerged.

7.When a tether switch is used, rigid dis- charge pipe is required. If the pump is allowed to move, the tether switch could be restricted by the basin wall, preventing the pump from operating.

Before removing pump from basin

for service, always disconnect electrical power to pump and control switch. For any work on pump or switch, ALWAYS unplug the power cord. Do not just turn off circuit breaker or unscrew fuse.

Maintenance

Make certain that the pump is

unplugged before attempting to service or remove any component. This pump is assembled in the factory using special equipment; therefore only authorized service dealers or qualified electricians should attempt to repair
