INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST
1. Inspect all materials. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs
from the pump.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.
SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF WARNINGS
1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded receptacle or
control box must be installed in accordance with the governing codes.
Never remove ground pin from plug.
2. Make certain that the receptacle or control box is within the reach of the
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,
and they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become
damaged or the connection end were to fall into a damp or wet area.
3. Make sure the pump's electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit
breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended,
sized according to the governing electrical codes for the current shown
on the pump name plate.
4. Testing for ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be
checked for ground using a circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power,
neutral, and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they
are not, call a qualified, licensed electrician.
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS
POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. If pump is wired direct, de-
energize the circuit at the control box. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. Wear insulated protective shoes, and do not
stand in water. Pumps equipped with a grounded plug are designed to help
protect against electrical shock. A properly grounded receptacle or control
box must be installed in accordance with governing codes.
6. Installation and servicing of the pump's electrical circuits and hardware
should only be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
7. Installation and maintenance of this appliance is not intended for persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or
lack of experience or knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
8. Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief
or connect conduit directly to the pump. If the supply cable is damaged, it
must be replaced by an authorized Zoeller representative.
9. Risk of electrical shock. These pumps have not been investigated for use
in swimming pools and marine areas.
10. Use with approved motor control that matches motor input in full load amperes.
1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage
requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.
2. The installation of variable level 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 to use rigid pipe and fittings
and the pit be 18" (45 cm) or larger in diameter.
3. Vent hole. It is necessary that all submersible sump, effluent, and sewage
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 3/16" (5 mm) vent hole must be drilled in
the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge the unit
of trapped air. Vent hole should be checked periodically for clogging. The
vent hole on a High Head application may cause too much turbulence. You
may not want to drill one. If you choose not to drill a vent hole, be sure
the pump case and impeller is covered with liquid before connecting the
pipe to the check valve. NOTE: THE HOLE MUST BE BELOW THE BASIN
COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY. Water stream will be visible when
pump is operating.
4. Pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build up which may
interfere with the float “on” or “off” position. Repair and service should
be performed by an authorized Zoeller Company representative only.
5. Maximum operating temperature must not exceed 140 °F (60 °C).
6. Do not operate a pump in an application where the Total Dynamic Head is
less than the minimum Total Dynamic Head listed on the Pump Performance
Curves.
7. For health reasons, do not unplug, turn off, or disable pump and use pump
tank system as a way to fill up a sink or laundry tray, etc.
8. This unit is not designed for salt water or brine applications. Use with salt
water or brine will void warranty.
9. Pump may contain oil, which becomes pressurized and hot when operating.
Allow 2-1/2 hours after disconnecting before attempting service.
10. Pump is not intended for potable water due to possible contamination by
oil contained in the pump.
11. This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
NOTE: Pumps with the "UL" mark and pumps with the "US" mark are tested to UL
standard UL778. CSA certified pumps are certified to CSA standard C22.2 No. 108.
