SAFETY GUIDELINES
UNPACKING
•
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has
occurred, file a claim immediately with the carrier that delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
STORAGE
•
Short Term—Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following short, inoperative
periods in storage. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory assembled,
in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures for up to six (6) months.
•
Long Term—For storage of six (6) months, to twenty-four (24) months, the units should
be stored in a temperature-controlled area: a roofed-over, walled enclosure that provides
protection from the elements (rain, snow, wind-blown, dust, etc.), and where the temperature
can be maintained between 4 and 40°C (40 and 120°F). If extended high humidity is
expected to be a problem, all exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all
surfaces that have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn should be recoated with a water-
based, air-dry enamel paint. All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
•
Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On initial start up, rotate impeller by
hand to assure seal and impeller rotate freely.
INSTALLATION
DISCHARGE
•
Discharge piping should be as short as possible. A check valve is recommended for each
pump being used. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive
backflow can cause flooding and/or damage to the pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
•
Pump comes with float switch.
•
Power Cable—The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made in accordance with all
applicable electric codes. It is recommended that a junction box, if used, be mounted outside
the sump or be of at least NEMA 4 construction if located within the wet wall. Do not use the
power cable to lift pump.
WARNING!
• Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use
damaged or worn cords.
• Failure to comply with the instructions and designed operation of this unit may void the warranty. Attempting to use a
damaged pump can result in property damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
CAUTION!
• Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
• Keep battery charger and battery box off of the floor and in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area.
• If a carbon monoxide (CO) sensor is installed, it must be at least 15’ (4.6 m) away from battery charger in order to avoid
nuisance CO alarms. Please refer to your CO detector’s installation guidelines for more information.
