Safety • Installation
10. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when
working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and
properly lighted – replace all unused tools
and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from
work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with
padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump,
follow all electrical and safety codes
that apply.
12. Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. This equipment is only for
use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped
with an approved 3-conductor cord and
3-prong, grounding-type plug.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, pull plug
before servicing. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure
it is connected only to a properly grounded
grounding-type receptacle.
• Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with codes and ordinances
that apply.
13. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
14. Make certain power source conforms to
requirements of your equipment.
15. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.
16. Risk of burns . Do not touch
an operating motor. Motors can operate at
high temperatures.
17. Do not handle pump or pump motor with
wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water.
Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. If your basement has
water or moisture on floor, do not walk on
wet area until all power has been turned off.
If shut-off box is in basement, call electric
company or hydro authority to shut-off service
to house, or call your local fire department
for instructions. Remove pump and repair or
re place. Failure to follow this warning can
result in fatal electrical shock.
18. Do not lift pump by power cord.
Installation
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum
diameter of 14" (356mm). Sump depth should
be 16" (406mm minimum). Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check
local codes for approved materials and for
proper installation.
Tethered Float Switch
2. Install pump in pit so that switch operating
mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
Do Not Change the
preset tether length.
3-1/2"
(89 mm)
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones
and gravel which could clog pump. Keep
pump inlet screen clear.
NOTICE Do not use ordinary pipe joint
compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint
compound can attack plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic
pipe and wrap threads with PTFE pipe thread
sealant tape. Screw pipe into pump hand tight
plus 1-1/2 turns.
Risk of flooding . Can cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
If a flexible discharge hose is used, make
sure pump is secured in sump to prevent
movement. Failure to secure pump may allow
pump movement, switch interference and
prevent pump from starting or stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a
short length of rubber hose (1-7/8" (47.6mm)
I.D., e.g. radiator hose) can be connected
into discharge line near pump using
suitable clamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve (Part No.
FP0026-10-P2) or an in-pump check valve
(FP0026-6D-P2) to prevent flow backwards
through pump when pump shuts off.
NOTICE If your check valve is not equipped
with an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking
pump, drill a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in discharge
pipe just above where the discharge pipe
screws into the pump discharge. Be sure the
hole is below the waterline and the check
valve to prevent air locks.
