UNPACKING
•
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or missing parts. If you have
concerns please contact customer support at 1-800-689-9928.
REMOVING OLD PUMP (IF NECESSARY)
1.
Remove the old pump from the basin. If you need to cut the old discharge pipe to remove
the pump, cut it as close to floor level as possible. If a check valve is attached to the pump,
be prepared for water to leak from the pipe. Allow water to drain into the sump basin.
2.
Inspect the basin for accumulated mud, sand, silt or small stones. Clean out the basin if
necessary.
INSTALL NEW PUMP
1.
Connect the discharge pipe to the pump discharge. Do not use pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe or plastic pump threads as this can degrade the plastic. Use non-stick tape if
necessary.
2.
Install a full flow, swing type check valve (sold separately) either directly into the pump
discharge or on the discharge pipe. Make sure the check valve is positioned in the correct
direction of flow.
3.
Place the pump on a solid, level surface in the basin. Use bricks or blocks to raise the
pump off the bottom surface. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand, silt or on rocky
surfaces as these materials can clog or damage the pump. Do not lower the pump into the
basin by the power cord or discharge pipe; use the attached handle.
4.
Position the pump in the basin making sure that the float switch will operate freely without
coming in contact with the sides of the basin.
5.
Once the pump is positioned in the basin, mark and cut your existing discharge pipe to
fit the height of the pump or continue installation of discharge pipe to the outside of the
building.
