Safety Information
PRECAUTIONS
- Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference.
- Do not cut off the ground pin or use an adapter fitting.
- Do not use an extension cord.
- The pump power cord should be connected to a separately fused, grounded line with a minimum capacity of 20 A. It can be connected to a non-fuse breaker at the recommended amperes.
- Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state/provincial and local codes and must be completed before priming the pump. Check appropriate community agencies, or contact local electrical and pump professionals.
- The voltage of the power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
- Place the pump on dedicated circuits to avoid low voltage.
- PVC pipe can be installed in the outlet piping. A drain hose, galvanized steel, or copper pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging.
- The pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids contain solid particles larger than 2 in. (5.1 cm).
LIMITATIONS
This pump was designed to operate in pump basins of at least 30 in. depth.
WARNING:
A permanent ground connection from the pump to the grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory. These pumps come with a grounding conductor and a grounding-type attachment plug. Do not connect the pump to a power supply until permanently grounded. For maximum safety, connect the pump to a circuit equipped with a fault interrupter device when positioning the pump’s grounding wire.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
This pump series has a built-in thermal protection switch, it will protect the motor from burning out due to overheating/overloading. When the motor cools down, the overload protector will automatically reset and start the motor. If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure in the motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected, have it serviced by a competent repairman.

Pre-Installation
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This pump is provided with an on/off float switch for automatic operation. Refer to the Installation instructions included with switches and controllers for installation. Care should be taken to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump. The pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin that is a minimum of 18 in. in diameter and a minimum of 30 in. deep and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
The pump must be placed on a hard-level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces. The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipes to the pump. Always 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 backflow 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. 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 gate valve should 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 a minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict the discharge to sizes below 2 in.. Sewage and effluent applications will require a separate sump vent. A connection is provided on top of the sump or cover which must be piped to the existing building vent or extended outside with its own standpipe.

MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)
Before using this pump, ensure you have the following items:
Connecting a discharge pipe to the pump
- Wrap the threads of the 2 in. discharge pipe (1) with thread sealant tape.
- Attach the discharge pipe (1) to the discharge of the pump (2).
Placing the pump in a basin
- Place the pump on a hard surface inside a sewage basin.
Connecting the check valve
- Connect the discharge pipe (1) to the elbow (2), union (3), check valve (4), and gate valve (5).
Operation
Connecting power
- Plug the pump power cord plugs into the piggyback switch plug outlet.
- Plug the switch plug into a 115V GFCI power outlet.
Operating the pump
- When the float switch (1) moves up over the top of the pump, the pump begins to operate. When the water lowers to a certain level, the float switch (1) will turn the pump off.
- Allow the pump to operate through several on-off cycles.
NOTE: Ensure the pump is submerged in water. Running the pump dry can damage the pump.
Switch tether height adjustment
Depending on the height of the inlet pipe, the pump float switch may need to be adjusted. The switch cord is fastened to the side of the motor housing with a clip and screw. If the water in the basin is allowed to rise beyond the bottom of the inlet pipe before activating the pump, lower the float switch cord per the instructions below. Always maintain 3 in. of cord length between the switch and the clip.
- Determine the height of the bottom of the inlet.
- Raise the float switch to determine the height at which the pump is activated. Only allow the pump to run for 1 second to dry.
- Remove the screw from the float tether clip and replace it with a lower threaded hole that allows the pump to operate before the water reaches the bottom of the inlet pipe.
- Test the on/off operation of the switch by adding clean water to the basin while observing the pump operation
Care and Cleaning
To clear a pump that is clogged with debris:
- Unplug the pump to disconnect the electrical power.
- Unscrew the four screws (4) on the pump body and remove the volute (1) and O-ring (2).
- Remove debris from around the impeller (3).
- Reassemble the pump.
NOTE:
This pump features an oil-filled motor for efficient cooling. The oil also serves to permanently lubricate the bearings. DO NOT disassemble the pump body as oil will leak out and the warranty will be void.
Troubleshooting
WARNING:
Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump. Under flooded conditions, make sure you are not standing in water and that you are wearing insulated protective sole shoes. Contact your local electric company or a qualified licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
CAUTION:
Call an electrician when in doubt. The pump should be connected to a separate 20 A circuit breaker or 20 A fuse block. Note that plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at the motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or a burned-out motor.
| Problem | Probable Causes and Solutions |
| The pump does not run and makes a humming sound. | □ The line circuit breaker is off, or the fuse is blown or loose. □ The water level in the basin has not reached turn-on level as indicated in the Installation Requirements drawing. □ The pump cord is not making contact in the receptacle. □ The float is stuck. It should operate freely in the basin. □ If all of the above are OK, then the motor could be malfunctioning. |
| The pump runs but does not deliver water. | □ Check if the check valve is installed backwards. The arrow on the check valve should point in the direction of flow. □ The gate valve (if used) may be closed. □ The impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove the pump and clean. □ The pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging and unplugging the cord. Check for clogged vent hole in the pump case or discharge pipe and/or no vent hole in the pump case or discharge pipe. □ The inlet holes in the pump base are clogged. Remove the pump and clean the openings. □ The vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce the distance or change the discharge fittings of the pump. |
| The pump runs and pumps out sump, but does not stop. | □ The float is stuck in the up position. Be sure the float operates freely in the basin. □ The float switch is defective. Replace the float switch. |
| The pump runs but only delivers a small amount of water. | □ The pump is air-locked. Start and stop several times by plugging in and unplugging the cord. Check for a clogged vent hole in the pump case. □ The vertical pumping distance is too high. Reduce the distance or change the discharge fitting of the pump. □ Inlet holes in the pump base are clogged. Remove the pump and clean the strainer and openings. □ The impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove the pump and clean. |
| The fuse blows or circuit breaker trips when the pump starts. | □ The pump impeller is partially clogged, causing the motor to run slowly and overload. Remove the pump and clean. □ The motor stator may be defective. □ The fuse size or circuit breaker may be too small (must be 20 A). □ The impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove the pump and clean. |
| The motor runs for a short time and then stops. | □ The inlet holes in the pump base are clogged. Remove the pump and clean the openings. □ The pump impeller is partially clogged, causing the motor to run slowly and overload. Remove the pump and clean. □ The motor stator may be defective. □ The impeller or volute openings are fully or partially clogged. Remove the pump and clean.
