2. Position Pump on solid surface so that both
hoses are free from kinks and the Float Switch
is away from the inlet pipe and at least 1″ away
from all obstructions throughout its movement.
3. Fit a sump cover with a hole for the discharge pipe.
Set the sump cover aside for now. Place unused
end of discharge pipe as needed to direct the water
discharge at least 3 feet away from the source. Slope
the discharge pipe downward, away from the source.
Note:
The sump cover can also be
fitted with a vent pipe, if desired.

Note:
Wrap all threaded connections
with PTFE thread seal tape.

of water, install a check valve onto the
discharge pipe. This prevents water from
flowing back after the pump shuts off.
