INSTALLATION/OPERATION
11. Pull the power cords up through the cord grommet hole in
the cover, press the cords into the grommet, and install the
cord grommet in the cover.
Purchase vent and
discharge pipes locally.

12. Install the 2
check valve in the horizontal portion of
the discharge pipe. See Figure 1. Make certain the flow
indicating arrow points away from the pump. This check
valve will keep the water from running back into the basin
when the pump is not running.
"
13. Install the 2
vent pipe into the 2
grommet. The vent pipe must go through the roof of the
building or it can be connected to an existing vent pipe. The
sewage basin must be vented. Improper ventilation of sewer
gases can result in leakage of methane sewer gas, and a
possible explosion of fumes, resulting in severe injury or
death. Vent basin according to all local codes.
NOTE: Proper ventilation is also needed to prevent negative
basin pressure and to provide the necessary air for proper
aerobic activity within the basin.

14. Double check the connection between the discharge pipe
and the septic or sewage tank. They must be connected
before the pump is plugged in.
15. Insert the float switch piggy-back plug into a properly
grounded outlet.
16. Plug the pump into the piggy-back plug.
17. Check the operation by filling the basin with water and
observing pump operation through one complete cycle. Make
sure that no parts of the assembly interfere with the float.
Failure to make this operational check mau lead to
improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.
OPERATION
1.
Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate
pump unless it is submerged in water as seal may be
damaged if allowed to run dry. Allowing the pump to run dry
will void the warranty.
2.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect
the motor from burning out due to overheating/overloading.
When the motor cools down, the overload protector will
automatically reset and start the motor.
3.
If the overload trips frequently, check for the cause. It could
be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or an electrical
failure in the motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is
suspected, have it serviced by a competent repairman.
4.
Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal protector.
If temperature in motor should rise excessively, switch
will cut off all power before damage can be done to
motor. When motor has cooled sufficiently, switch will
reset automatically and restart motor. If protector trips
repeatedly, pump should be removed and checked as to
cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long extension cords,
clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen
discharge pipe, etc., could cause cycling.
5. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a pump manually, and
suddenly no water comes out of the discharge hose, shut off the
unit immediately. The water level is probably very low and the unit
has broken prime.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Before
attempting to check why unit has stopped operating, disconnect
power from unit.
