5. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord and replace
damaged cords immediately.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure there is adequate
room for the switch to operate.
6. A sump pit cover must be installed to
prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump or interfering with
pump.
Operation
Always disconnect the
power source before
attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain the pump.
Never touch sump pump, pump motor,
water or discharge piping when pump
is connected to electrical power. Never
handle a pump or pump motor with
wet hands or when standing on wet or
damp surface or in water. Fatal
electrical shock could occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)
is required.
Risk of electrical
shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded receptacle to reduce
the risk of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
Installation
1. Install pump in a sump pit with minimum
size as shown in Figure 1. Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic.
2. The unit should be located and rest on
a solid, level foundation. Do not place
pump directly on clay, earth, gravel or
sandy surface. These surfaces contain
small stones, gravel, sand, etc. that may
clog or damage the pump and cause
pump failure.
Flood risk. If
flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure pump is
secured in sump pit to prevent
movement. Failure to secure pump
could allow pump movement and
switch interference and prevent pump
from starting or stopping.
3. Thread check valve (Blue Angel™ offers
Model 66005-BLA1) into pump body
carefully to avoid stripping or cross
threading. Do not use pipe joint sealant.
4. Connect 1-1/2" rigid pipe to rubber boot
on check valve. Reverse boot for 1-1/4"
diameter pipe. Tighten hose clamps.
Support pump and
piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
Please read and save these instructions. Read carefully before attempting to assemble,
install, operate or maintain the product described. Protect yourself and others by
observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in
personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
