Installation 4
2. Unplug the pump. See Figure 1.
3. Unclamp any cords from the discharge pipe.
4. Locate the “on” water level of the primary sump
pump. Mark this location on the discharge pipe with
a pencil. See Figure 1.
5. To separate the primary pump from the discharge
pipe:
A. For applications with rubber couplings: remove
the coupling clamp with a nut driver.
B. For applications without rubber couplings: cut the
PVC discharge pipe with a hacksaw above the
basement floor and at a comfortable level. New
rubber couplings are included for reassembly.
Risk of pinching hands or fingers. To avoid
a hand injury from a collapse of plumbing, support the
pipe above the separation before cutting or disassembly.
6. Lift the primary pump and discharge pipe assembly
out of the sump. See Figure 2.
Risk of electrical shock. Shock can burn or
kill. Do not lift the pump by the electrical cord; lift pump
only by the discharge pipe, lifting ring or handle on the
pump. Lifting by the cord can damage the cord.
INSTALL BACKUP PUMP
Risk of explosion. Can cause personal
injury and flooding. Do not turn the pump on until all
the fittings are glued and the glue has dried. Loose fit-
tings can explode off of pipes and cause personal injury
and flooding.
NOTICE: This pump is intended for use in sumps with a
14” or larger diameter. For 9” - 14” diameter sumps,
order Switch Kit number SSSA.
1. Mark the back-up pump location - on the primary
pump discharge pipe 1” above the “ON” water level
of your primary sump pump. The bottom of the
back-up pump should be no lower than this mark
when finished. See Figure 2.
2. Remove the U-bolt clamps and nuts from the parts
bag.
