TYPICAL SUMP/DEWATERING RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION 

  1)   Electrical wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all other appli-

cable state and local electrical requirements. 

  2)   Install proper Zoeller Unicheck (combination check valve and union) preferably just above the 

sump pit to allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair. 

  3)   Minimum pit size recommended is 18" diameter and 22" deep. 

  4)   Locate Float Rod Guide about 6” below motor. Clamp guide to column with screw provided. 

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

       

 

Risk of flooding.

 Be sure that float rod is vertical and can move up and down 

freely. If float is angled or binds, pump may not start, allowing flooding to occur.

  5)   Screw float onto threaded end of rod. Threads on rod will cut threads into corrosion resistant 

float.

  6)   Insert end of float rod up through eye of rod guide.

  7)   Slide one rod stop on float rod before passing rod through eye of pump switch. Slide 2nd rod 

stop on rod after passing through eye of switch. Position 2nd rod stop flush with top of rod.

  8)   Position lower rod stop to within 8” of switch lever arm. With lower rod stop in this position, 

pump will automatically cycle at approximately 2-1/2” off and 10-12” on. For faster cycling, 

move lower rod stop closer to switch lever arm.

  9)   Thread pipe in discharge of pump.  Use care not to cross thread or strip the threads.  Use a 

full-size discharge pipe. 

10)   Clean basin free of debris after installation. 

11)   Install blocks or bricks under pump to provide a settling basin. 

12)   Place pump in center of sump pit. 

13)   Securely tape or clamp power cord to discharge pipe clear of float mechanism. 

14)   Check for proper ON-OFF switch operation by running water into the sump pit. 

15)   All installations require a proper basin cover to prevent debris from falling into the basin and to 

minimize accidental injury. 

—CAUTION— 

  CHECK ROD AND FLOAT FOR FREE 

SWITCH OPERATION TO INSURE

THAT PUMP WILL TURN ON AND OFF. 

All installations must comply with all applicable electrical 

and plumbing codes. Including, but not limited to, the Na-

tional Electric Code, local, regional and/or state plumbing 

codes, etc.

CONDITION

                                                                                                 

COMMON CAUSES

    A.   Unit will not start.                                         1.   Check circuit protection.

                                                                               2.   Check electrical current supply to make sure it is the same as on the pump specification plate. 

                                                                               3.   Check rod and float for free ON-OFF switch operation. Readjust rod stops or guide if necessary. 

                                                                               4.   Check ON-OFF switch operation by running water into basin. 

 

    B.   Unit starts or sounds like it is                      1.   Clear intake and discharge. Run to test operation.

           running but will not pump.                           2.   Check to see that vertical lift of installation is within pump capacity (refer to pump capacity chart above).

                                                                               3.   Check impeller for proper rotation. (Clockwise when viewed from motor end). 

 

    C.   Unit stops and starts excessively.               1.   Install a proper Zoeller Unicheck to prevent back flow from piping. 

                                                                               2.   Check dimensions of basin as listed on previous page, item 3. 

 

  If the above checklist does not uncover the problem, consult the factory - Do not attempt to service or otherwise disassemble pump.
