Operating & Installation Instructions
Introduction
This pump has been carefully packaged, inspected and tested to ensure safe operation and delivery. Before installing the pump, check to
see if any damage has occurred to the pump from rough handling. Notify the dealer from whom you purchased the pump if any damage
has occurred.
This pump has been designed to pump reasonably clean water. DO NOT PUMP chemicals, corrosive liquids, oils, sewage or effluents. It
will void the warranty. Please read all instructions before installing the pump.
Safety Instructions
The following safety rules should be followed to avoid serious injury or property damage:
Always remove the plug from the electrical outlet before servicing this pump.
1. Check with your local electrical and plumbing codes to ensure you comply with the regulations. These codes have been designed
with your safety in mind. Be sure to comply with them.
2. We recommend that a separate circuit be led from the home electrical distribution panel and properly protected with a fuse or a
circuit breaker. We also recommend that a ground fault circuit be used. Consult a licensed electrician for all wiring.
3. Do not stand in water when connecting or disconnecting power cord from outlet.
4. This product should be connected to a three prong grounded outlet equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter.
5. Do not pump flammable liquids with this pump as an explosion or fire could result.
6. Do not run this pump dry. Running your pump without water will damage the mechanical seal, reduce the life of the pump and void
the warranty.
7. Do not touch metal motor housing for at least 30 minutes after pump has operated. A severe burn will result if pump is not allowed to
cool. Do not lift the pump by the electrical cord.
8. This product does not require lubrication. A special oil has been put into the motor housing at the factory for lifetime lubrication of the
bearings. Use of any other oil can cause damage and void the warranty.
Installation Instructions
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, several 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 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. The bottom of the sump should be level for proper pump
operation.
Pump Float Assembly
Models SBA025T1, SBA033T1 and SBA050T1 are supplied with tether float assemblies
which are attached to the pump.
Models SBA025V1, SBA033V1 and SBA050V1 are supplied with vertical float assemblies.
These vertical float assemblies must be attached to the pump. Refer to the following
diagram for assembly.
