4. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V.,
60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum
15 amp individual branch circuit. Both pump and
switch are supplied with 3-wire cord sets with
grounding-type plugs. Switch plug is inserted
directly into outlet and pump plug inserts into
opposite end of switch plug.
Pump should always be
electrically grounded to a
suitable electrical ground such as a grounded
water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off
round ground pin.
5. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-
freezing atmosphere, portion of line exposed
must be installed so any water remaining in pipe
will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do
this can cause water trapped in discharge to
freeze which could result in damage to pump.
6. After piping, check valve and float switch have
been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
7. Check the pump operation by filling sump with
water and observing pump operation through one
complete cycle. For switch settings see the Electrical
and Switch Specifications chart on Page 2.
Failure to make this
operational check may lead
to improper operation, premature failure, and
flooding.
OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Do not
handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do
not operate pump unless it is submerged in
water as seal may be damaged if allowed to
run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal
protector. If temperature in motor should rise
unduly, switch will cut off all power before
