Installation

furnace drain (if applicable), to the inlet holes on the pump. Refer to Figure 5.
STEP 4: INSTALLATION OF DISCHARGE LINE
NOTE: Use 3/8” I.D. (max.) flexible tubing.. A hose clamp is recommended (not provided).
A.Extend discharge pipe from barbed check valve to the highest point possible. Refer to Figure 6.
B.From this point, direct the discharge line to the location of the drainage source. Maintain a continuous downward slope.
NOTE: Construct an inverted “U” (see Figure 6) at the highest point of discharge line if a continuous downward slope is not possible. Exercise care not to kink or “pinch off” the flow of condensate liquid.
STEP 5: INSTALLATION OF SAFETY SWITCH (IF APPLICABLE)
Connect power cord to a constant
voltage source. Do not connect to a fan or other device that may run intermittently.
A.The pump can be wired directly to the appliance thermostat to shut the pump and appliance down in the event of pump failure. Refer to Figure 7 for typical wiring diagram.
NOTE: The alarm can be wired in the safety switch at the normally open (“NO”) contact.
TIPS FOR EASY INSTALLATION
1.After reading instructions, check to make sure installation does not exceed a maximum of 15 feet of vertical lift.
2.Make sure pump is level. No part of the pump base should be more than 1/8” off of level plane.
3.Use soapy water on unit when performing cleaning maintenance. (Refer to Maintenance guidelines.)
4.For optimum performance, drain and discharge lines should have a continuous downward slope. Test operation of pump to make sure lines have enough downward slope
