INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT USE FOR PUMPING OILS, GASOLINE OR ANY PETROLEUM BY-PRODUCTS.
Notice to Installer: Instructions must remain with installation.
95 N. Oak St. • Kendallville, IN 46755 • 1-800-345-9422
1. Inspect your pump.
Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer
before using.
2. Carefully read the literature
provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These
materials should be retained for future reference.
1.
Make sure there is a properly installed ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit available. All
pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to
help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.
2.
Make certain that the ground fault receptacle
is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord
DO
NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Extension cords that
are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to
the pump motor. But, more important, they could present a
safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or
the connection ends were to fall into the sump and become
wet.
3.
Make sure the pump electrical supply cir-
cuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper
capacity.
A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized
according the National Electrical Code for the current shown
on the pump name plate.
4.
TESTING FOR GROUND.
As a safety measure,
each electrical outlet should be checked for ground using
an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will
indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly
connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified
licensed electrician.
5.
Installation and checking of electrical circuits
and hardware should only be performed by a qualified licensed
electrician.
6.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DIS-
CONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE
HANDLING.
7.
These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong
grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of
electrical shock.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES
REMOVE THE GROUND PIN.
The 3-prong plug
must
be
inserted in a mating 3-prong fault interrupter receptacle.
If
the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be
changed to the proper type, wired, and grounded in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable
local codes and ordinances.
1.
Check to be sure your power source is ca-
pable of handling the voltage requirements of the motor,
as indicated on the pump name plate.
2.
The installation of automatic pumps with
auxiliary float switches is the responsibility of the installing
party and care should be taken that the tethered float
switch will not hang up on the pumping apparatus or pit
peculiarities and is secured so that the pump will shut off.
It is recommended to use rigid piping and fittings and the
pit be 12" or larger in diameter.
3.
These pumps are not designed or intended
to be used to handle sewage or effluent.
4.
Maximum continuous operating water tem-
perature for standard model pumps must not exceed 77°F
(25°C).
5.
This pump has been evaluated for use with
WATER only.
NOTE: A BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM IS RECOMMENDED
TO PREVENT FLOODING AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE
IN THE EVENT OF MECHANICAL MALFUNCTION OR
POWER OUTAGE.
NOTE:
Pumps with the “UL/CSA” mark are tested to UL
standard UL778 and certified to CSA standard C22.2 No.
