Installation
1
Preparing the basin for installation
□
Reach your hand inside the inlet hole (1) through the basin
(A) and remove the package that contains the inlet hub
(D), check valve (C), and cord grommet (B).
□
Reach your hand a second time inside the inlet hole (1)
through the basin (A) and grab both the float switch cord
(2) and pump power cord (3). Thread these cords, one at a
time, through the 2 in. hole (4) on top of the basin (A),
removing all slack. Ensure the cords are not tangled
around the pump or float switch. Verify that the float switch
(5) can move freely.
□
Press each cord through a slit and into a hole in the two-
hole cord grommet (B) and press the grommet (B) into the
2 in. hole (4) in the cover to provide a tight seal.

Excavate a hole large enough to accommodate the basin

□
Add 4 – 6 in. of clean sub-base material or concrete (3) to
the bottom of the hole.
□
Assure that it is level, compacted, and smooth.
□
Place the basin (A) in the hole and ensure that it is level.
