Thank you for purchasing your
Hydromatic
®
pump. To help
ensure years of trouble-free
operation,
please read the
following manual carefully.
Before Operation:
Read the following instructions
carefully. Reasonable care and
safe methods should be practiced.
Check local codes and
requirements before installation.
Attention:
This manual contains important
information for the safe use of
this product. Read this manual
completely before using this
product and refer to it often for
continued safe product use.
DO NOT THROW AWAY OR
LOSE THIS MANUAL. Keep it
in a safe place so that you may
refer to it often.
Warning:
Before handling these pumps and
controls, always disconnect the
power first. Do not smoke or use
sparkable electrical devices or
flames in a septic (gaseous) or
possible septic sump.
WARNING: Risk of Electrical
Shock — for your protection
always disconnect pump from
the power source before
handling. If the pump is wired
direct, disconnect power to the
control box. Grounded pumps
are supplied with a 3-prong
grounded plug to help protect
you against the possibility of
electrical shock. Do not remove
the ground pin from the plug. To
reduce the risk of electrical
shock, a properly grounded
receptacle or control box of
grounding type must be installed
and protected by a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) in
accordance with national
electrical code and applicable
local codes.
WARNING: Do not smoke or
use sparkable electrical devices
or flame in a septic (gaseous) or
possible septic atmosphere.
1. Inspect all materials before
accepting them. If the damage
is apparent on the outside of
the box, claims for damages
should be filed with the
shipper. Hidden damage can
occur during shipment. If the
unit is found to be damaged
after opening the box, contact
your local Hydromatic
distributor before using.
2. Before installation or operation
carefully read all the
information provided with this
product. Familiarize yourself
with specific details regarding
installation and use before
attempting the installation.
3. Make certain that the ground
fault interrupter protected
receptacle or control box is
within reach of the pump’s
power cord. Use of extension
cords that are too long or too
light do not deliver sufficient
voltage to the pump motor.
They could also present a
safety hazard if the insulation
were to become damaged or
the connection end were to fall
into a damp or wet area.
4. Check to be sure your power
source is adequate to handle
the amperage requirements of
the motor as indicated on the
pump, and that the voltage
matches that indicated on the
pump. Make sure the pump’s
electrical supply circuit is

Testing for Ground.
As a
safety measure, each electrical
outlet should be checked for
ground. If the system is not
properly grounded or you are
not sure,
call a licensed
electrician for assistance.
CAUTION: All plumbing must
be installed to meet local codes.
The unit must be vented.
CAUTION:
Installation and
checking of all electrical circuits
and hardware should be
performed only by a qualified
licensed electrician.

should be performed by an
authorized Hydromatic service
station only.
CAUTION:
Refer to the
appropriate manual for
operation and maintenance of
the pump that is provided with
this system.
NOTE: Use extreme caution
around electrical devices.
Electrical shock may occur.
NOTE: See the performance
curve for this unit on page 7 of
this manual. This pumping unit
is designed to discharge sewage
up to a maximum of 18 feet
total dynamic head (T.D.H.)
including friction loss of pipe
and fittings. This unit should
not be used with systems
requiring total dynamic heads
above 18 feet.
NOTE: Do not use wax seal
having flange that extends into
tank; it may cause clogging. If a
floor is installed over the tank,
use toilet manufacturer designed
floor flange extender seal kit.
