Installation / Electrical
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by power cord. See "Cord Lift
Warning" on Page 6.
5A. Disconnect power to outlet box before unplugging
pump.
5B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. Do not
stand in water or put your finger in fuse socket.
5C. Do not modify cord and plug. When using cord and
plug, plug into a grounded outlet only. When wiring
to a system control, connect pump ground lead to
system ground.
6. Do not run pump dry. Dry running can overheat
pump, (causing burns to anyone handling it) and will
void warranty.
7. Pump normally runs hot. To avoid burns when ser-
vicing pump, allow it to cool for 20 minutes after
shut-down before handling it.
8. In normal service, motor should not need oiling.
Motor has been filled at the factory with a special oil.
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay
or gravel surfaces. Basin must be at least 18" (45.7 cm)
in diameter and 30" (76.2 cm) deep.
Piping – Sewage Applications
(2" or Less Solids)
Piping must not be smaller than pump discharge.
When installed in a sewage system, pipe must be capable
of handling semi-solids of at least 2" (5.1 cm) diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any
solids present in suspension in the fluid. To meet mini-
mum flow requirements (.6m (2 feet) per second in dis-
charge line), size pipe as follows:
A Pipe Size Of:
5.1 cm (2")
6.3 cm (2-1/2")
7.6 cm (3")
Use a 5.1 cm (2") swing check valve in pump discharge to
prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin. Check valve
should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when
handling solids, do not install it with discharge angled
more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not install check
valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve
and prevent opening on startup.

Model
4202A
Will Handle a Flow Rate Of:
79 LPM (21 GPM)
113 LPM (30 GPM)
181 LPM (48 GPM)
H.P.
1/2
Drill a 4.7mm (3/16") hole in discharge pipe about 2.5 -
5.1cm (1"-2") above pump discharge connection (but
below check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. When installing, operating, or servicing this
pump, follow safety instructions listed below.
Step 1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
Step 2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be sub-
merged.
Step 3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire
hazard and can reduce voltage sufficiently to pre-
vent pumping and/or damage motor.
Step 4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is con-
nected to power supply.
Connect or wire pump to its own circuit with no other
outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or circuit
breakers according to chart below.
Step 5. DO NOT operate pump unless it is properly
grounded. Wire pump directly into grounded ter-
minal block in automatic float or pump controller
box. Power cord on 1-phase units is a 3-wire
conductor with 3-prong grounding-type plug. Do
not modify cord or plug. When using with plug-
in receptacle, plug pump into a 3-wire, ground-
ed, grounding-type receptacle only. Connect
pump according to all applicable codes.
For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into an
automatic float switch or pump controller. For continu-
ous operation, plug directly into an electrical outlet or
wire directly into switch box. Connect pump to its own
circuit with nothing else on the circuit. See
Specifications Chart for fuse or circuit breaker sizes.
Models with an automatic float switch are factory set
with a 4'' tether length. This tether length can be adjust-
ed to accommodate a variety of pumping ranges (See
performance graph). The installer must ensure that the
switch does not become obstructed and that the range is
set so the liquid level remains a minimum of 2'' above
pump suction at the lowest level, and below the basin
inlet pipe at the highest level.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure
that power supply information (Voltage/ Hertz/Phase)
on pump motor nameplate matches incoming power
supply exactly. Install pump according to all electrical
codes that apply.
