INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read Before Installing or Operating Pump;
This information is provided for your SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS based on the information known to
Canature.
Always wear appropriate safety gear, such as safety glasses, when working on the pump or piping.
Only qualified personnel should install, operate, and repair pumps.
Make sure the lifting handle in securely fastened each time before lifting.
Do NOT lift pump by electrical cord.
Do NOT exceed manufacturer’s recommendation for maximum performance, as this may cause the motor to overheat.
Secure the pump in its operating position so that it cannot tip over, fall, or slide.
Keep hands and feet away from impeller when power is connected.
Any wiring of pumps should be done by a qualified electrician.
Cable should be protected at all times to avoid punctures, cuts, and abrasions. Inspect frequently.
Do NOT remove cord and strain relief.
Canature is NOT responsible for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure to observe these safety
precautions, or misuse or abuse the pumps or equipment.
CAUTION
Do NOT wear loose clothing that may become entangled in the impeller or other moving parts.
Pumps generate heat and pressure during operation. Allow time for pumps to cool before
handling or servicing.
Never operate a pump with a power cord that has frayed or brittle insulation.
Sump Hole
The sump hole should be located at the lowest point in the basement (or bottom floor) below floor level. The sump hole
should be plastic, concrete, fiberglass, or structural foam. If concrete tile is used as the sump hole five (5) centimeters or [1.5
inches] of cement should be poured in the bottom to provide a solid foundation and prevent erosion from the sump bottom.
A gravel bottom is unsatisfactory for this pump.
The bottom of the sump should be level for proper pump operation.
The larger the diameter of the sump hole, the less frequent the pump will have to operate. The pump float switch MUST have
enough space to operate freely. A deeper sump provides added water capacity if the power goes out.
