2. Install discharge plumbing. When using rigid pipe, use
plastic pipe. Wrap thread with Teflon tape or use Plasto-
Joint Stik*. Screw pipe into discharge fitting hand tight
+1 – 1-1⁄2 turns.
NOTE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic
pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.
3. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of
rubber hose (1-7⁄8" I.D., e.g. radiator hose) can be con-
nected into discharge line near pump using suitable
clamps.
4. Install an in-line check valve to prevent flow backwards
through pump when pump shuts off.
5. Thread vent pipe into 1-1⁄2" NPT black vent fitting in
basin cover. Pipe should not extend into basin. Connect
vent pipe to sewer vent system.
6. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V., 60 Hz., opera-
tion and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch cir-
cuit. Both pump and switch are supplied with 3-wire cord
sets with grounding-type plugs. Switch plug is inserted
directly into outlet and pump plug inserts into opposite
end of switch plug.
Hazardous Voltage. Pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a
grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway
or ground wire system. Do not cut off round ground pin.
7. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-freezing
atmosphere, portions of line exposed must be installed so
any water remaining in pipe will drain to the outfall by
gravity. Failure to do this can cause water trapped in dis-
charge to freeze which could result in damage to pump.
8. After piping and check valve have been installed, unit is
ready for operation.
9. Check operation by filling sump with water and observing
pump operation through one complete cycle.
Risk of flooding. Failure to make this opera-
tional check may lead to improper operation, premature fail-
ure, and flooding.
MAINTENANCE
Risk of electric shock. Make certain that the
pump is unplugged before attempting to service or remove any
component.
Risk of electric shock. Do not handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or
damp surface, or in water.
1. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
2. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not oper-
ate pump unless it is submerged in water as seal may be
damaged if allowed to run dry.
3. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal protector.
If temperature in motor should rise unduly, switch will cut
off all power before damage can be done to motor. When
motor has cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automati-
cally and restart motor. If protector trips repeatedly, pump
should be removed and checked for cause of difficulty. Low
voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, very low
head or lift, etc., could cause cycling. Refer to Trouble
shooting Guide on Page 6 for additional information.
4. Periodically inspect pump, system components, and sump
for debris and foreign objects. Keep sump free of all
refuse. Perform routine maintenance as required.
Pump Cleaning
NOTE: Attempting to disassemble motor will void warranty.
1. Use the pump ring to lift pump out of basin and place
pump on a clean level surface.
Risk of electrical shock. Shock can burn or
kill. Do not lift pump by power cord.
2. To clean impeller, remove eight screws holding baseplate
to motor assembly. Clean impeller as necessary.
3. Re-install baseplate and screws.
4. Use pump ring to replace pump in basin.
