Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump, discharge or electrical plug when water is
present in the area.
• Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should the junction
box be located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, the whole unit must be replaced
1. Connect the power cord to a constant source of power matching the pump nameplate voltage.
• Connect the pump to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or equipment in the cir-
cuit.
• Do not connect to a voltage other than that shown.
• Ensure that the fuses or circuit breaker are of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
NOTE: Do not connect to a fan or any device that runs intermittently.
• Single-phase motors are a continuous-duty type equipped with an automatic resetting heat
sensor and may restart unexpectedly.
OPERATION
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Always check the power cord and electric receptacle for damage or corrosion before each use. The power cord on
these units cannot be replaced. If damaged, replace the pump.
• Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid. The seal may be dam-
aged and the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.
To test pump operation independently of the float switch cord, install the pump and plug the pump
cord directly into the outlet.
1. Plug the pump and piggyback cord assembly into a grounded receptacle.
• Ensure the gate valve in the discharge line is open.
2. Run water into the basin.
IMPORTANT: The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and
may restart unexpectedly.
3. Confirm that the pump and switches are functioning as intended.
• Ensure that the ON/OFF levels are within specification and that no potential obstructions exist
that could inhibit switch operation. Refer to
• Check that there are no leaks in the system plumbing.
• Confirm that spray from the air bleed hole is captured within the basin.
• Ensure the gate valve in the discharge line is open.
4. Allow the pump to operate through several ON/OFF cycles.
IMPORTANT: Do not let float switch contact pump, plumbing, or side of basin during operation.
