GENERAL SAFETY
See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this manual for informa-
tion about common sump pump problems and remedies.
For more information, see your retailer or call customer ser-
vice at 1-800-468-7867 / 1-800-546-7867.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential
hazards.
Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump
water only with this pump. Failure to follow this warn-
ing can result in personal injury and/or property dam-
age.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose
is used, make sure pump is secured in sump to prevent
movement. Failure to secure pump may allow pump
movement, switch interference and prevent pump from
starting or stopping.
2. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of
your equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any
component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unse-
cured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal
injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use,
making certain all connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Keep
sump, pump and system free of debris and foreign
objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose dis-
charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
10.Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with
pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted
– replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
11.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all elec-
trical and safety codes, as well as most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).
Pump motor is equipped with an automatic
resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpect-
edly.
12.
Risk of electric shock
. This equipment is only
for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with
an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-
type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain
that it is connected to properly grounded, grounding-
type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must
be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and local codes and ordinances.
13.All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
14.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cords immediately.
15.Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at
motor. Refer to most recent National Electrical Code.
16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
17.Do not use in water where fish are present.

DESCRIPTION
The submersible pump is designed for water removal in home applica-
tions. Pump can be used for sump service and dewatering. Unit is con-
structed of hi-impact corrosion resistant plastic. Screened inlet pre-
vents large solids from entering pump.
NOTICE
:
This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water or
brine! Use with salt water or brine will void warranty.
PERFORMANCE
INSTALLATION
Do not use power cord to lift motor
. Always use
handle.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid
foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of discharge
pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid
stripping or crossing threads.
a. To install with garden hose, install adapter provided
with pump.
NOTICE:
To keep friction as low as possible, hose
must be 3/4” or larger. Keep hose as short as possi-
ble.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread
with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*. Screw pipe
onto pump hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ. oper-
ation and requires an individual branch circuit of 15
amperes or more capacity. It is supplied with a 3-wire
cord set with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire,
grounded outlet. 3 wire extension cord, of at least 14
AWG (2mm
2
) size is suggested, with larger sizes for runs
over 25 ft (7M). For safety, pump should always be elec-
trically 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 the round
grounding prong.
The pump motor is equipped with automatic
resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpect-
edly. Protector tripping is indication of motor overload-
ing as a result of operating pump at low lift (which will
overload the motor), excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump
.
