INSTALLATION / MAINTENANCE

INSTALLATION

These important instructions must be followed for satisfactory
performance of your pump. Before installation, check your local
electrical and plumbing codes.
Provide proper basin/tank size to allow the pump to operate

without restrictions. A two- to five-minute run time is
recommended. Also, minimum 24" diameter recommended.
Make sure basin/tank is free of string, cloth, nails, gravel,

etc. before installing pump.
Do not set pump directly on the bottom of basin/tank pit if

it is not solid. Raise the pump by placing bricks or concrete
blocks underneath it.
Use steel or plastic pipe for all connecting lines between

pump and sewer outlet.
NOTE: Some city regulations do not allow installing a pump
with plastic pipe. Check local regulations.
In applications where the pump may sit idle for months at a

time, it is recommended that the pump(s) be cycled every
month to ensure the pumping system is working
properly when needed.
A check valve should be installed in discharge pipe, at least

12" above the discharge outlet of the pump.
NOTE: If pumping raw sewage, the check valve must be
installed in the horizontal position
An audible alarm system, for high water conditions should

be installed in every pump for greater protection.
Connect to power source using 3-prong grounded AC

receptacle.
Do not remove ground pin from electrical plug.

Do not use an extension cord.

Use pump partially or completely submerged for pumping

(temperature to 140° F). The unit will pump solid\materials
up to 2" (spherical) in diameter.

MAINTENACE
Before removing pump from basin pit for repair, check if

the trouble could simply be a blown fuse, tripped circuit
breaker, or a power cord not completely inserted into the
receptacle.
If the unit is being operated by the automatic switch, unplug

the pump from the piggyback receptacle and plug the pump
directly into the power source. If the pump starts each time
it is plugged directly into the receptacle and does not start
each time when plugged into the piggyback switch with
the float raised in the "on" position. Repleace the tethered
switch.
