Operation

Risk of electrical
shock. Do not

touch sump pump, pump motor,
water, or discharge piping when
pump is connected to electrical power.
Always disconnect the pump cord
(power cord) before handling.

1. Plug unit into 115V outlet. It is

strongly recommended that this
unit be plugged into a G.F.I.
(Grounded Fault Interrupter)
circuit. Consult your local electrician
for installation and availability.

2. If pump is being controlled by a

float switch or other type of
automatic control (not supplied
with unit) then unit will operate
automatically. If not, then unplug
unit to stop it.

3. Shaft seal depends on water for

lubrication. Do not operate the
pump unless it is in at least 1/2” of
water. Dry running (pump not
pumping water) will cause seal
damage and eventual pump
failure. 

Risk of electrical 
shock. Always

disconnect power from unit before
attempting to service. 

4. This pump will pump water down

to 3/16”. This means that it will not
remove all the water. If unit has
been operating and suddenly no
water comes out discharge hose,
shut off unit immediately. Water
level is probably very low and unit
has broken prime. Use mop or
squeegee to remove remaining
water.

5. Do not run pump continuously with

water level below 4”. If motor
overload trips and stops pump,
allow unit to cool for one hour
before restarting. Motor will not
restart before overload has cooled.

Maintenance

Risk of electrical
shock and

unexpected motor starts. Make certain
that the pump is unplugged before
attempting to service or remove any
components.

Risk of electrical
shock hazard if

motor is improperly repaired or
assembled. Only qualified electricians
or servicemen should attempt to
repair pump motor. There are no
consumer serviceable parts inside
motor housing.

1. The motor in the unit is sealed in

oil. No additional lubrication is
necessary.

NOTE: Disassembly of the motor will
void the warranty. It might also cause
internal leakage and damage to the
unit.

2. Inlet screen should be kept clean

and free of all foreign objects.
Occasionally clean the sump pit and
pump if dirt or foreign matter
accumulate. Small stones, gravel,
sand, dirt, silt, etc. can clog and/or
damage pump and pump seal,
eventually causing pump failure.

®

mini submersible sump pump, Models covered in this manual are warranted by Dayton Electric Mfg. Co. (Dayton) to the

original user against defects in workmanship or materials under normal use for one year after date of purchase. Any part which is determined to be defective in material
or workmanship and returned to an authorized service location, as Dayton designates, shipping cost prepaid, will be, as the exclusive remedy, repaired or replaced at
Dayton’s option. For limited warranty claim procedures, see PROMPT DISPOSITION below. This limited warranty gives purchasers specific legal rights which vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

Limitation of Liability. 

To the extent allowable under applicable law, Dayton’s liability for consequential and incidental damages is expressly disclaimed. Dayton’s liability

in all events is limited to, and shall not exceed, the purchase price paid.

Warranty disclaimer.

Dayton has made a diligent effort to illustrate and describe the products in this literature accurately; however, such illustrations and descriptions

are for the sole purpose of identification, and do not express or imply a warranty that the products are merchantable, or fit for a particular purpose, or that the products
will necessarily conform to the illustrations or descriptions.  
Except as provided below, no warranty or affirmation of fact, expressed or implied, other than as stated in “LIMITED WARRANTY” above is made or authorized by Dayton.

Product suitability.

Many jurisdictions have codes and regulations governing sales, construction, installation, and/or use of products for certain purposes, which may vary

from those in neighboring areas. While Dayton attempts to assure that its products comply with such codes, it cannot guarantee compliance, and cannot be responsible for
how the product is installed or used. Before purchase and use of a product, review the product application, and all applicable national and local codes and regulations, and
be sure that the product, installation, and use will comply with them.  
Certain aspects of disclaimers are not applicable to consumer products; e.g., (a) some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you; (b) also, some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts,
consequently the above limitation may not apply to you; and (c) by law, during the period of this Limited Warranty, any implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for
a particular purpose applicable to consumer products purchased by consumers, may not be excluded or otherwise disclaimed.

Prompt disposition.

Dayton will make a good faith effort for prompt correction or other adjustment with respect to any product which proves to be defective within

warranty. For any product believed to be defective within limited warranty, first write or call dealer from whom product was purchased. Dealer will give additional
directions. If unable to resolve satisfactorily, write to Dayton at address below, giving dealer’s name, address, date and number of dealer’s invoice, and describing the
nature of the defect. Title and risk of loss pass to buyer on delivery to common carrier. If product was damaged in transit to you, file claim with carrier.
