Installation and Operation
To reduce risk of electric shock, pull
plug before servicing. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it
is connected only to a properly grounded
grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encoun-
tered, it must be replaced with properly
grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accor-
dance with codes and ordinances that apply.
13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
14. Make certain power source conforms to require-
ments of your equipment.
15. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cords imme-
diately.
16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors
can operate at high temperatures.
17. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp surface,
or in water.
Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or kill.
If your basement has water or moisture on floor, do
not walk on wet area until all power has been
turned off. If shut-off box is in basement, call elec-
tric company or hydro authority to shut-off service
to house, or call your local fire department for
instructions. Remove pump and repair or replace.
Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.
Do not lift pump by power cord.
FLOAT SWITCH INSTALLATION
Models equipped with vertical switches require some
assembly. See the Switch Assembly instructions on
Page 4. Models with tethered float switches are
ready for use.
INSTALLATION
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter
of 10" (254mm) for models equipped with verti-
cal switches and 14" (356mm) for tethered float
switch models. Sump depth should be 16"
(406mm) for tethered models and 10" (254mm)
for vertically switched models. Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local
codes for approved materials and for proper
installation.
2. Install pump in pit so that switch operating
mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones
and gravel which could clog pump. Keep pump
inlet screen clear.

pump when pump shuts off.
NOTICE: If your check valve is not equipped with
an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking pump, drill
a 1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in discharge pipe just above
where the discharge pipe screws into the pump
discharge. Be sure the hole is below the waterline
and the check valve to prevent air locks.
