Electrical / Operation

Piping – Effluent Applications
(3/4" or Less Solids)
Piping must be 1-1/2" minimum to carry volume of
pump discharge. Check local codes to determine if a
check valve is required in your system. In cold climates,
check valves are not used to prevent effluent from freez-
ing in piping.
Piping – Sewage Applications
(2" or Less Solids)
In any case, piping must not be smaller than pump
discharge.
When installed in a sewage system, pipe must be capable
of handling semi-solids of at least 2" (5.1 cm) diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any
solids present in suspension in the fluid. To meet mini-
mum flow requirements (2 feet (.6 m) per second in dis-
charge line), size pipe as follows:
A Pipe Size Of:
1-1/2" (3.8 cm)
2" (5.1 cm)
2-1/2" (6.3 cm)
3" (7.6 cm)
NOTICE: Use Teflon™ tape on pipe connections. Do
not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe or
pump. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics and dam-
age pump.
3. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length
of rubber hose (1-5/8"(41mm) I.D., e.g. radiator hose)
can be connected into discharge line near pump
using suitable clamps.
4. If the pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-
freezing atmosphere, then the portion of line
exposed must be installed so any water remaining in
pipe will drain to outfall by gravity. Failure to do this
can cause water trapped in discharge to freeze
which could result in damage to pump.
5. Install a 2" check valve in the horizontal portion of
the discharge pipe. Make certain, the flow indicating
arrow, points away from the pump. This check valve
will keep the water from either running back into the
basin or into the area being pumped out when the
pump is not running. Check valve should be a free
flow valve that will easily pass solids.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when
handling solids, do not install it with discharge angled
more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not install check
valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in valve
and prevent opening on startup.
6. Drill a 3/16" (4.7mm) hole in discharge pipe about
1"-2" (2.5 - 5.1cm) above pump discharge connec-

30 GPM (113 LPM)
48 GPM (181 LPM)
tion (but below check valve) to prevent airlocking
the pump.
7. Insert the float switch piggy-back plug into a proper-
ly grounded outlet and the pump plug into the piggy-
back plug.
8. Check the installation by observing the pump opera-
tion through one complete cycle. Make sure that no
parts of the assembly interfere with the float switch.
Risk of flooding. May cause personal injury
or property damage. Failure to make this operational
check may lead to improper operation, premature fail-
ure, and flooding.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. When installing, operating, or servicing this
pump, follow safety instructions listed below.
1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard
and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pump-
ing and/or damage motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is con-
nected to power supply.
5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug or
modify plug.To protect against electrical shock, the
power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes a
3-prong grounded plug. Plug pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect pump
according to electrical codes that apply.
For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into an auto-
matic float switch or pump controller. Pump will run con-
tinuously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit
with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size
fuses or circuit breakers according to chart on Page 2.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Can burn or
cause death. Be sure that power supply information
(Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump motor nameplate matches
incoming power supply exactly. Install pump according to
all electrical codes that apply.
OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It
will void the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will pro-
tect motor from burning out due to overheating/overload-
ing. When motor cools down, overload protector will
automatically reset and start motor.
