Operating Instructions And Parts Manual
2.This pump is only for use on 120 Volt
3.Insert the pump power cord plug directly into the back of the float switch cord plug (See Fig. 2).
4.Fill sump with water. The pump will start automatically when the water has filled the sump to the
Do not operate the pump unless it is
submerged in water. Dry running causes pump failure.
The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
5.While the pump is draining the pit, verify that the discharge piping is carrying the water to a point several feet away from the foundation.
If pump discharge line is exposed to freezing temperature, the exposed line
must be pitched to drain. Trapped water will freeze and damage the pump.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the electrical supply before attempting to install, service, relocate or
perform any maintenance. If the power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (off) position to prevent unexpected power application. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock. Only qualified electricians
should repair this unit. Improper repair could result in fatal electrical shock.
1.Let the pump cool for a minimum of two hours before servicing because the pump contains hot oil under pressure and the motor is hot.
2.Disassembly of the motor prior to expiration of warranty will void the warranty. If repairs are required, see troubleshooting chart.
3.Inlet should be kept clean and free of all foreign objects and inspected annually. A clogged inlet will damage the pump.
4.Pump should be checked monthly for proper operation.
This pump contains dielectric oil for
cooling. This oil can be harmful to the environment. Check the state environmental laws before disposing this oil.
