Pre-Installation
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
• This pump is provided with an on/off float switch
forautomatic operation.
• Care should be taken to prevent the pump from
running in a dry sump.
• The pump must be placed on a hard level surface.
Never place the pump directly on clay or gravel
surfaces.
• The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC,
polyethylene or galvanized steel pipe. Proper
adapters are required to connect plastic pipe to the
pump.
• Install a union in the discharge line, just above
the sump pit, to allow for easy removal of the pump
for cleaning or repair.
• A check valve must be used in the discharge line to
prevent back flow of liquid into the basin. The check
valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass
solids.
• When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole 3/16"
in diameter in the discharge pipe. This hole should be
located below the floor line between the pump
discharge and the check valve. Unless such a relief
hole is provided, the pump could "air lock" and will
not pump water even though it will run.
• A union and shut-off valve can follow the check valve
to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or
removal of the pump.
• The remainder of the discharge line should be as short
as possible with the minimum of turns to minimize
friction head loss. Do not restrict the discharge to
sizes below 2".
MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)
• 1-1/2" Discharge pipe
• Thread sealant tape
• 1-1/2" Check valve
• 1-1/2" Elbow
The consumer/installer should purchase either a pre-
NOTE:
threaded 1-1/2" MNPT pipe (or unthreaded pipe and pipe
threader) or a 1-1/2" or 1-1/4" adapter (1-1/2" MNPT x 1-1/2"
slip fit or 1-1/2" MNPT x 1-1/4" slip fit)
Service and Repair
Important: Pump should be thoroughly cleaned of trash
and deposits before starting disassembly operations.
WARNING
Disconnect all power and control wires to motor at
control panel before starting disassembly operation.
Never rely on opening circuit breaker only.
CAUTION
Operating pump builds up heat and pressure; allow time
for pump to cool to room temperature

INSTALLATION
STEP 1:
Connecting the discharge pipe to the pump.
Wrap the threads of the 1-1/2" discharge pipe with thread
sealant tape. Next attach the discharge pipe to the dis-
charge of the pump.
STEP 2:
Place the pump in basin.
Place pump on a hard surface inside basin.
STEP 3:
Connecting the check valve.
Connect the discharge pipe to the check valve, another
section of vertical pipe, elbow, and optional to connect
union and shut-off valve after elbow.
OPERATION
STEP 4
Connecting power
Plug the power cord into a 115V GFCI power outlet. Allow
pump to operate through several on-off cycles by adding
water to basin.
STEP 5
Operating the pump
When the float switch moves up over the top of the pump.
the pump begins to operate. When the water lowers to a
certain level, the float switch will turn the pump off.

Discharge piping can be PVC,
polypipe or galvanized steel
