Connecting AC Power to the Pump

1.AC power is transferred to the pump via a contactor. The coil of the contactor is energized or de-energized by the opening and closing of the float switch contacts.The power cord should have three wires. Each wire is color coded. The colors are WHITE, BLACK and GREEN.

1.If all of the pump's electrical requirements have been met, place thecircuit breaker or powerON/OFF switchintheON position.

2.The CB3 control box has an operation switch located on thefront cover.Thisswitchhas3positions, AUTO,MANUAL and OFF. The AUTO position allows the pump to run in an unattended mode.The MANUAL position will let the pump run without the float switches controlling the pump. When in the manual mode be careful not to let the pump run dry. Severe damage to the pump may occur if it is allowed to run dry.NEVER let the pump run dry.

3.Place the operation switch in the AUTO position. The AC power indicator lamp should be lit (ON).

4.Wait a few seconds and water should begin to flow from the discharge hose.

5.If water is not flowing from the discharge hose or not flowing freely after a few minutes, remove the power from the pump and check the system for leaks.

6.To stop the pump from pumping, place the operation switch in the OFF position.
