LIMITED WARRANTY

Manufacturer warrants, to the purchaser and subsequent owner during the

warranty period, every new product to be free from defects in material and

workmanship under normal use and service, when properly used and maintained,

for a period of one year from date of purchase by the end user, or 18 months

from date of original manufacture of the product, whichever comes first. Parts

that fail within the warranty period, one year from date of purchase by the

end user, or 18 months from the date of original manufacture of the product,

whichever comes first, that inspections determine to be defective in material or

workmanship, will be repaired, replaced or remanufactured at Manufacturer's

option, provided however, that by so doing we will not be obligated to replace

an entire assembly, the entire mechanism or the complete unit. No allowance

will be made for shipping charges, damages, labor or other charges that may

occur due to product failure, repair or replacement.

This warranty does not apply to and there shall be no warranty for any material

or product that has been disassembled without prior approval of Manufacturer,

subjected to misuse, misapplication, neglect, alteration, accident or act of

nature; that has not been installed, operated or maintained in accordance

with Manufacturer's installation instructions; that has been exposed to outside

substances including but not limited to the following: sand, gravel, cement, mud,

tar, hydrocarbons, hydrocarbon derivatives (oil, gasoline, solvents, etc.), or other

abrasive or corrosive substances, etc. in all pumping applications. The warranty

set out in the paragraph above is in lieu of all other warranties expressed or

implied; and we do not authorize any representative or other person to assume

for us any other liability in connection with our products.

Contact Manufacturer at, 3649 Cane Run Road, Louisville, Kentucky 40211,

Attention: Customer Support Department to obtain any needed repair or

replacement of part(s) or additional information pertaining to our warranty.

MANUFACTURER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR SPECIAL,

CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR BREACH OF

EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTY; AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY

OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND OF MERCHANTABILITY

SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESSED WARRANTY.

Some states do not allow limitations on the duration of an implied warranty,

so the above limitation may not apply to you. Some states do not allow the

exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above

limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights

which vary from state to state.

PREINSTALLATION INFORMATION

1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage

requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump nameplate.

2. The float switches must be connected to an intrinsically safe circuit in the

control panel. The installation of float switches is the responsibility of the

installing party and care should be taken that the tethered float switch will

not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so

that the pump will shut off. It is recommended that rigid piping and fittings

be used and the pit be 36" or larger in diameter.

3. INFORMATION - VENT HOLE PURPOSE. It is necessary that all submersible

pumps capable of handling various sizes of solid waste be of the bottom

intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. If a check valve is

incorporated in the installation, a vent hole (approx. 3/16") must be drilled

in the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge the unit

of trapped air. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run

periods. This vent hole should be checked periodically for clogging and

cleaned as necessary. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/or a dry basin.

4. Water hammer creates momentary high pressure surges. These surges can

cause severe damage to check valves and the piping system. Consideration

for water hammer must be included in the piping system design. Reference

ASPE Data Book, Chapter 2.33. Some systems may require external spring

or lever weighted check valves or other engineered solutions.

5. Three phase pumps must be connected for proper rotation, which is

counterclockwise looking into impeller inlet.

6. Care should be taken during the initial installation to be sure that adequate

air supply is available whenever any person is in the basin. Always follow

OSHA guidelines on confined space requirements.

1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your distributor before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs in the cover nor

the motor housing.

2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.

3. National Electrical Code (NEC) articles 500 through 503 explain in detail the requirements for the installation and wiring of electrical equipment in hazardous locations.

Not for use in acidic, methanol or ethyl acetate atmospheres.

2. Do not lift, carry, or hang pump by the electrical cables. Damage to the

electrical cables can cause shock, burns or death.

3. Make sure there is a properly grounded connection available. All

pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect

you against the possibility of electrical shock.

4. Make certain that the control box is within the reach of the pump’s power

supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that

are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor.

But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation

were to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the sump.

5. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses
