Figure 1 – Recommended Installation of a Sump Pump
PUMP OPERATIONS
The pump will start when the water has filled the sump to a depth that engages the automatic float switch. The pump will
stop when the water depth disengages the automatic float switch. The pump will recycle thereafter as required.
Allow pump to go through several cycles to assure satisfactory operation. If the pump does NOT operate properly, see
troubleshooting checklist.
Refer to figure 1 for a typical installation.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
The pump operates on a 115 volt, 60 cycle AC, single phase and has a three-prong plug. The third prong is used to ground the
pump to prevent possible fatal shocks. The third prong MUST NOT be removed. The fuse or circuit breaker used should be a
15- amp time delay type.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK
This pump is supplied with a grounding type attachment plug.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is connected
only to a properly grounded type receptacle.
Automatic Thermal Overload Protection
The motor has a built-in automatic overload protector. It will cut the power to the motor before the temperature rises enough
to damage the motor windings. Should the overload stop the pump operation, it will reset automatically. Operation will
resume when the motor cools enough to close the overload switch.
