INSTALLATION
1. This unit can be installed in sump pit with mini-
mum diameter of 12" (30cm) and depth of 12"
(30cm). Sump pit may be constructed of tile, con-
crete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for
approved materials.
2. Install pump on solid, level foundation, as near as
possible to center of sump pit. Do not hang pump
from discharge pipe or power cord.
ating. If motor is tilted, internal start/run switch
may overheat and damage motor.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones and
gravel which could clog the pump. Keep pump
inlet screen clear.
4. Thread discharge pipe into pump body carefully to
avoid stripping or crossing threads.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound
on plastic pipe or pump. Pipe joint compound can
attack plastics and damage pump.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short
length of rubber hose (1-5/8" (41mm) I.D., e.g.
radiator hose) can be connected into discharge
line near pump using suitable clamps.

a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for
use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. Do not cut off
the round grounding prong. For safety, outlet
must always be electrically grounded to a suit-
able electrical ground such as a grounded water
pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway or
ground wire system.
6. Locate Float Rod Guide (Key No. 6) about 6"
(16cm) below motor. Clamp guide to column with
screw provided.
that float rod is vertical and can move up and
down freely. If float is angled or binds, pump may
not start, allowing flooding to occur.
7. Screw float onto threaded end of rod. Threads on
rod will cut threads into corrosion resistant float.
8. Insert plain end of float rod up through eye of
rod guide.
9. Slide one rod stop on float rod before passing rod
through eye of pump switch. Slide 2nd rod stop
on rod after passing through eye of switch.
Position 2nd rod stop flush with top of rod.
10. Position lower rod stop to within 8"(20cm) of
switch lever arm. With lower rod stop in this posi-
tion, pump will automatically cycle at approxi-
mately 2-1/2" (6cm) off and 10-12"
(25-30cm) on. For faster cycling, move lower rod
stop closer to switch lever arm.
11. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-
freezing atmosphere, then portion of line exposed
must be installed so any water remaining in pipe
will drain to outfall by gravity. Failure to do this
can cause water trapped in discharge to freeze
which could result in damage to pump.
12. Install an in-line check valve (Water Ace model
RCV-12S) to prevent flow backwards through pump
after pump shuts off.
NOTICE: The check valve should be equipped with
an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking the pump.
If using a check valve without an air bleed hole,
drill a 1/8" (3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe just
above pump body but below the check valve to
prevent air locks.
13. After all piping and controls have been installed,
unit is ready for operation.
14. Run pump through one cycle to check float switch
operation.

ly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating pump at

sively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring,
incorrect motor connections, or a defective
motor.
