SP-330, SP-330D, SP-500, SSP-1000 Submersible Sump Pumps
IMPORTANT! Make sure there is adequate room
for fl oat switch to move freely during operation. A
1" minimum is required. Do not allow water infl ow
to affect fl oat.
9. Connect 1-1/4" diameter rigid pipe to rubber boot
on check valve (not included). Reverse boot for
1-1/2" diameter pipe. Tighten clamps.
10. For SP-330 and SP-500 pumps:
Insert the pump cord plug directly into a GFCI pro-
tected 115 volt grounded outlet (see Figure 1).
For SP-330D and SSP-1000 pumps:
Insert the switch cord plug into a GFCI protected
115 volt grounded outlet. Insert the pump cord
plug directly into the back of the switch cord plug
(see Figure 4).
When routing electrical cord pro-
tect cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oils,
and chemicals. Do not kink or tightly clamp cord;
replace any damaged cord immediately.

Testing

1. Fill sump pit with water.
2. While the pump is draining the pit, verify that the
discharge piping is carrying the water to a point at
least 15 feet away from the foundation.
The outside piping must be tilted
downward to drain. This helps prevent debris from
entering the discharge pipe, and also prevents trapped
water from freezing which can damage the pump.
3. Install sump pit cover (not included) to prevent
debris from clogging or damaging the pump.
(SSP-1000 Solid State Water Sensor only)
Sensor is designed to run the pump a minimum
of 4 seconds. If water is removed in less time, a
gurgling sound will be generated as air is ingested
into the pump. This will not damage the pump.

Maintenance Instructions

• Always disconnect the electrical supply or
unplug the pump before attempting to install,
service, relocate, or perform any maintenance.
If the power source is out of sight, lock and tag
in the open (OFF) position to prevent unexpect-
ed power application. Failure to do so could
result in fatal electrical shock. Only a qualified
technician should repair this unit. Improper
repair could result in fatal electrical shock.

• The motor is oil filled and sealed for cooler
running. Allow 2 hours for motor to cool before
servicing. Hot oil under pressure could result
in severe burns.
1. Check the operation of the Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) on a monthly basis.
2. Keep pump inlet clean and free of all foreign
objects. Inspect at least once a year and clean
sump as needed.
3. Check pump for proper operation monthly by filling
sump with water until pump turns on.
4. Inspect all plumbing connections for any leaks or
looseness monthly.

5. Pump can be checked for proper operation by brief-
ly removing pump power cord from the back of the
Solid-State Water Sensor plug and inserting directly
into the grounded outlet. In this condition, the pump
will run continuously. Once pump operation is veri-
fied, replace pump power cord into the back of the
Solid-State Water Sensor plug (see Figure 3).
NOTE! Disassembly of the motor will void the
warranty.
Part Replacement Schedule
Failure to follow replacement schedule will void
lifetime warranty.
Replace pump switch every 2 years. See page 8 for
Ridgid catalog #.
Replace fl oat every 2 years. See page 8 for Ridgid
catalog #.
Replace stator every 5 years. See page 8 for Ridgid
Catalog number.
SSP-1000 uses a solid-state electronic control with no
moving parts (see Figure 3), therefore replacement is
not needed.
