INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Before installing pump, allow air conditioner to cycle several times, collecting condensate in a sepa-
rate container to help flush any residual oils that may remain in the system. Failure to flush the sys-
tem can result in damage to the pump and drain line plumbing components.
• Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause piping to
break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
• Do not install the pump in a manner that will subject it to splashing or spraying.
• Pump is for indoor use only.
1. Carefully unpack the pump.
2. Install the pump on a flat surface.
• Make sure the mounting surface will support the combined weight of the pump and water filled
tank. The surface must provide a level and stable location for the lifetime of the pump. The pump
inlet must be below the drain outlet of the condensate producing equipment so that condensate
drains freely into the pump by gravity.
• Alternatively, the unit can be mounted on the side of the air conditioner/furnace or a nearby wall.
The tank has two mounting slots (dimension #11), one located at each end of the tank.
• The air vent openings (located around the motor housing) must not be blocked or obstructed to
allow the free flow of air through the air vent openings.
3. Find the cardboard insert protruding from the motor cover
vent slot. Carefully slide the cardboard insert out of the slot
and discard. This cardboard insert is used to prevent switch
movement during shipment.
IMPORTANT: Failure to remove this cardboard insert will cause
the pump to not function as intended, possibly resulting in an
overflow.
