Personal injury and flood hazard. Do not
turn the pump on until all the fittings are glued and the
glue has dried. Loose fittings can explode off of pipes
and cause personal injury and flooding.
Remove Primary Pump From Sump Pit:
1. Locate the "on" water level of the primary sump
pump. Mark this location on the discharge pipe with
a pencil. See Figure 1.
2. Drain the sump pit. The water level must be pumped
down as low as possible before going on to the next
step. To drain the sump pit follow either step "2A" or
"2B"(below).
2A. Raise the float on the float switch until the
pump turns on. Use a wooden broom handle or
a stick to do this.
2B. If the sump pump has a piggy-back type power
cord, remove the float switch power cord plug
from the outlet and plug the pump power cord
plug directly into the outlet. See Figure 2.
Electrical shock hazard. Shock can
burn or kill. Do not use metal or any other electrical
conducting material to raise the float. Do not make
contact with the water in the sump pit. Failure to follow
this warning can result in personal injury or death.
3. Drain the sump.
NOTICE: Do not let the pump run dry. This will
damage the pump.
4. Unplug the pump.
