Pedestal Pumps
Models: PED Series
Installation
8. Plastic PVC pipe can be installed in the outlet pip
ing. Drain hose, galvanized steel or copper pipe
may be used if desired. All piping must be clean
and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging.
9. Pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids con-
tain solid particles larger than 3/16” for EPP or 3/8”
for EPC.
Verify that the voltage and
frequency of the pump shown
on the nameplate corresponds to those available on
the mains. The installer must make sure that the
electric system is grounded in accordance with code.
• For outdoor use it is necessary to use cable with a
length of at least 8’. The plug and connection
should be protected from water splashes. Before
using the pump, always in spect it visually
(especially power cable and plug).
• Do not use pump if it is damaged
• If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by an
authorized service center.
• Make sure that electric connections are pro
tected from flooding. Protect the plug and the
power cable from heat or shape edges.
The power cable must be re
placed by qualified personnel
only. Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a
double grounding contact, so that grounding can be
performed by simply inserting the plug.
This pump series has a built in thermal protection
switch. The pump stops if an overload condition
occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has
cooled down.
ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Do not work on pump until power is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or use an adapter fitting.
Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord should be connected to a
separately fused, grounded line with a minimum
capacity of 15 amps. It can be connected to non-fuse
breaker at the recommended amperes.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be
certain pump source is disconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and local codes and must be completed
before priming pump. Check appropriate commu
nity agencies, or contact local electrical and pump
professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be
connected to a separate 15 amp circuit breaker
or 15 amp fuse block.
Note that plugging into existing outlets may cause
low voltage at motor. This could cause blown fuses,
tripping of motor overload or burned out motor.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump to the
grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory.
These sump pumps come with a grounding conduc
tor and a grounding-type attachment plug. Do
not connect pump to a power supply until perma -
nently grounded. For maximum safety, connect
pump to a circuit equipped with a fault interrupter
device when positioning the pump’s grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of
the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any
water, debris or sediment.
Sump basin must be vented
in accordance with local plumb-
ing codes. These Sump pumps are not designed for
and CANNOT be installed in locations classified as
hazardous.
7. The following may cause severe damage to pump
and will void the warranty.
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter
fitting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing
impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal.
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
(g) Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids
