California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories contain
chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock. Disconnect power to pump before servicing.
• If floor is wet, disconnect power at main electrical service
before walking on it. Do not stand in water or touch metal
surfaces when switching circuit breaker or removing/install-
ing fuses.
• Pump is equipped with a three-prong, grounding cord and
plug. Do not modify cord or plug. Plug this unit into a 115V
outlet, on an individual branch circuit, with a Class A, 10
amp GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
Do not use in explosive environments. Pump
water only with this pump. Inspect sump, pump and system
components monthly. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose is
used, pump may move around in sump when motor starts. If
it moves far enough so that switch hits side of sump, switch may
stick and prevent pump from starting. Make sure pump is secured
so it cannot move around in sump.
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many years of
trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained, and
used. However, unusual circumstances (interruption of power
to the pump, dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that exceeds the
pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.)
may prevent your pump from functioning normally. To prevent
possible water damage due to flooding, consult your dealer about
installing a secondary sump pump, a DC backup sump pump,
and/or a high water alarm. See the "Troubleshooting Chart" in this
manual for information about common sump pump problems and
remedies. For more information, see your retailer, call Flotec cus-
tomer service at 800-365-6832 or visit www.flotecwater.com.

PERFORMANCE
Total Lift in Feet
Capacity in GPH
OPERATION
Pump is equipped with an automatic float switch which starts
pump when water level reaches 10"-12". Pump automatically
turns off when level drops to 4" - 6".
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Sump should be at least 18" deep. Inside diameter of sump
should be at least 14".
Check Valve is built-in. If necessary to allow flow back from dis-
charge pipe to sump:
• Drill a 1/8" diameter hole in the discharge pipe 2" above the
pump. Pump should be installed below the basement floor level.
Discharge Pipe: Pump is supplied with flexible connector that
fits 1-1/2" PVC or ABS pipe. Adapter insert allows use of 1-1/4"
PVC or ABS pipe. PVC or ABS adapters may be purchased to fit
other discharge pipe sizes.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can cause severe or fatal
electrical shock. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly ground-
ed, grounding type receptacle.
Plug this unit into a 115V outlet, on an individual branch circuit,
with a Class A, 10 amp GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
For installation of such a circuit, consult a licensed electrician.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE
AC power outlets should be on a separate 10 amp individual
branch circuit; 115V, AC, 60 cycles, and located within 8 ft. of
sump. Ground terminal on pump cord plug is provided for your
protection. DO NOT REMOVE!
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Remove debris and foreign material from sump to prevent
clogging.
2. Place pump on smooth, level surface. Use building blocks or
bricks to elevate pump screen a minimum of 2" above mud,
sand or loose stones.
3. Locate pump in center of pit so pump housing and float con-
trol will not come in contact with side of pit and create opera-
tional problems.
4. Slip connector hose over pump discharge. Install and tighten
first clamp.
5. Place second clamp loosely over connector hose.
6. Slip connector hose over discharge pipe. Clamp hose tightly
with second clamp. Run discharge piping to nearest out-
let, depending on local plumbing codes. Discharge piping
should be as short as possible to reduce pipe friction losses.
Discharge pipe diameter should be equal to or larger than
discharge size of pump. Smaller pipe diameters will restrict
capacity of pump and reduce performance.
7. Securely anchor flexible discharge line if used. If line is not
secure, pump may tip during operation.
