Installation 4
For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at 800-468-7867
NOTICE For best performance of check valve
when handling solids, do not install it with
discharge angled more than 45° above the
horizontal. Do not install check valve in a
vertical position as solids may settle in valve and
prevent opening on startup.
6. Drill a 3/16” (4.7mm) hole in discharge
pipe about 1”-2” (2.5 - 5.1cm) above pump
discharge connection (but below check valve)
to prevent airlocking the pump.
7. Insert the float switch piggy-back plug into a
properly grounded outlet and the pump plug
into the piggy-back plug.
8. Check the installation by observing the pump
operation through one complete cycle. Make
sure that no parts of the assembly interfere
with the float switch.
Risk of flooding. May cause personal
injury or property damage. Failure to make
this operational check may lead to improper
operation, premature failure, and flooding.
Electrical
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn,
or cause death. When installing, operating, or
servicing this pump, follow safety instructions
listed below.
1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow electrical cord plug to be
submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire
hazard and can reduce voltage sufficiently to
prevent pumping and/or damage motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is
connected to power supply.
5. DO NOT remove grounding prong from plug
or modify plug.To protect against electrical
shock, the power cord is a three-wire
conductor and includes a 3-prong grounded
plug. Plug pump into a 3-wire, grounded,
grounding-type receptacle. Connect pump
according to electrical codes that apply.
For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into
an automatic float switch or pump controller.
Pump will run continuously when plugged
directly into an electrical outlet. Connect pump
to its own individual branch circuit with no
other outlets or equipment in the circuit.
Size fuses or circuit breakers according to
Electrical Specifications.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Can
burn or cause death. Be sure that power supply
information (Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump
motor nameplate matches incoming power
supply exactly. Install pump according to all
electrical codes that apply.
