SPECIFICATIONS
Power Supply Required .....................................115V, 60 HZ
Motor Duty ...........................................................Continuous
Liquid temperature Range ..............................130° F (55° C)
Circuit Requirement .................................................15 Amps
Discharge Pipe Size..............................................2” (51mm)
INSTALLATION
NOTICE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay or
gravel surfaces. Basin must be at least 13” (330mm) in diam-
eter. Be sure that switch can swing through its entire arc
without any obstruction.
Piping
Effluent Applications (for 3/4" (19.1mm) or less solids)
Piping must be 1-1/2" (38.1mm) minimum to carry volume of
pump discharge. Check local codes to determine if a check
valve is required in your system. In cold climates, check
valves are not used to prevent effluent from freezing in pip-
ing.
If using as sump pump, a check valve is recommended.
Sewage Applications (for 2" (51mm) or less solids)
In any case, piping must not be smaller than pump dis-
charge.
When installed in a sewage system, pipe must be capable of
handling semi-solids of at least 2" (51mm) diameter.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids
present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minmimum flow
requirements (2 feet (.6 m) per second in discharge line) size
pipe as follows:
A Pipe Size Of:
Will Handle a Flow Rate Of:
1-1/2" (38.1mm)
12 GPM (45 LPM)
2" (51mm)
21 GPM (79 LPM)
2-1/2" (63.5mm)
30 GPM (114 LPM)
3" (76.2mm)
48 GPM (182 LPM)
Use a 2" (51mm) swing check valve in pump discharge to
prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin. Check valve
should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when han-
dling solids, do not install it with discharge angled more than
45° above the horizontal. Do not install check valve in a ver-
tical position as solids may settle in valve and prevent open-
ing on startup.
Drill a 3/16" (4.8mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1–2"
(25.4 - 51mm) above pump discharge connection (but below
check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.
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 ground-
ed 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 duplex controller. For manual operation plug
pump directly into an electrical outlet.
Connect or wire pump to its own circuit with no other outlets
or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or circuit breakers
according to the Electrical and Switch Specifications Chart,
on Page 1.
Risk of electrical shock and fire. 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.
OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will void
the warranty and may damage the pump.
An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect
motor from burning out due to overheating/overloading.
When motor cools down, overload protector will automatically
reset and start motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a
stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure in
motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
replace pump.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.
2
1. Attempting to lift or support pump by
power cord can damage cord and
cord connections.
2. Cord may pull apart, exposing bare
wires with possibility of fire or electri-
cal shock.
3. Lifting or supporting pump by power
cord will void warranty.
4. Use lifting ring or handle on top of
pump for all lifting/lowering of pump.
Disconnect power to pump before
doing any work on pump or attempt-
ing to remove pump from sump.

Risk of electrical shock.
Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by
