Receiving inspection

Upon receiving the pump, it should 

be  inspected  for  damage  or 
shortages.  If  damage  has  occurred, 

file  a  claim  immediately  with  the 

company that delivered the pump. If 
the  manual  is  removed  from  the 

packaging, do not lose or misplace.

Storage

Any  product  that  is  stored  for  a 
period  longer  than  six  (6)  months 

from the date of purchase should be 
bench  tested  prior  to  installation.  A 
bench test consists of, checking the 

impeller  to  assure  it  is  free  turning 

and  a  run  test  to  assure  the  motor 

(and  switch  if  provided)  operate 

properly.

Controls

Manual  models  require  a  separate 

approved  pump  control  device  or 
panel  for  automatic  operation.  Be 

sure the electrical specification of the 
control selected properly match the 

electrical specifications of the pump.

Submergence

The  pump  should  always  be 

operated 

in 

the 

submerged 

condition. The minimum sump liquid 
level should never be less than above 
the pump’s volute (See Figure 1).

Discharge Piping

Discharge piping should be as short 

as possible and sized no smaller than 
the pump discharge. 

Do not reduce 

the discharge pipe size below that 
which  is  provided  on  the  pump.

 

Both  a  check  valve  and  a  shut-off 
valve  are  recommended  for  each 

pump.  The  check  valve  is  used  to 

prevent backflow into the sump. The 
shut-off  valve  is  used  to  manually 

stop  system  low  during  pump 
servicing.

Liquid Level Controls

The  level  control(s)  should  be 
mounted on the discharge piping, a 

cable  rack  or  float  pole.  The  level 
control  should  have  adequate 

clearance so it cannot hang up in it’s 

swing  and  that  the  pump  is 

completely  submerged  when  the 
level control is in the "Off" mode. By 
adjusting the cord tether the control 

level  can  be  changed.  One  cycle  of 
operation  should  be  observed,  so 

that  any  potential  problems  can  be 
corrected.

Electrical Connections

Power cable:

The  power  cable  mounted  to  the 

pump  must  not  be  modified  in  any 
way  except  for  shortening  to  a 
specific  application.  Any  splice 
between  the  pump  and  the  control 

panel  must  be  made  in  accordance 
with  the  electric  codes.  It  is 
recommended that a junction box, if 
used, be mounted outside the sump 

or  be  of  at  a  minimum  Nema  4 
construction if located within the wet 
well. 

DO  NOT  USE  THE  POWER 

CABLE TO LIFT PUMP.

Overload Protection:

Single Phase

 - The stator in-winding 

overload protector used is referred to 
as an inherent overheating protector 
and operates on the combined effect 

of  temperature  and  current.  This 
means  that  the  overload  protector 
will trip out and shut the pump off if 

the windings become too hot, or the 

load  current  passing  through  them 
becomes too high.

Recommendations and Warnings

The  sump,  basin  or  lift  station  shall 

be sealed and vented in accordance 
with  local  plumbing  codes. 

This 

pump  is  designed  to  pump 
sewage,  effluent  or  wastewater, 

non-explosive  and  non-corrosive 

liquids and shall NOT be installed 
in locations classified as hazardous 
in  accordance  with  the  National 
Electrical  Code  (NEC)  ANSI/NFPA 
70 or Canadian Electric Code (CEC).

 

The pump should never be installed 
in a trench, ditch, or hole with a dirt 

bottom.  The  legs  will  sink  into  the 
dirt  and  the  suction  will  become 

plugged.

The  installation  should  be  at  a 

sufficient  depth  to  ensure  that  all 
plumbing  is  below  the  frost  line.  If 
this is not feasible, remove the check 
valve  and  size  the  basin  to 

accommodate 

the 

additional 

backflow volume.

Installation

There are two methods of installing 

effluent pumps: 

1.  In  a  Flex-Hose  system,  most 

commonly  used  in  interceptor 

tanks, and

2.   A slide rail in a package system or 

concrete  wet  well,  which  allows 

the  pump(s)  to  be  installed  or 
removed 

without 

requiring 

personnel to enter the wet well.

It  is  recommended  that  the  level 

control float should be set to insure 
that  the  liquid  in  the  sump  never 

drops  below  the  top  of  the  motor 

housing  or  a  minimum  level  of  7" 

above the basin floor.

Always  rely  upon  a  Certified 

Electrician for installation.
