Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Pump should always be electrically grounded to a
suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe
or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire
system. Do not cut off round ground pin.
8. If pump discharge line is exposed to sub-freezing
weather conditions, portion of exposed pipe must
be installed so any water remaining will drain out or
down due to gravity. Failure to do this can cause water
trapped in discharge to freeze which could result in
damage to pump.
9. After piping, check valve and float switch have been
installed, the unit is ready for operation.
10. Check the pump operation by filling sump with water
and observing pump operation through one complete
cycle. For switch settings see the Electrical and Switch
Specifications chart on Page 2.
Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury
and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational
check may lead to improper operation, premature failure,
and flooding.
Operation
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in
water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate pump unless it is submerged in water as seal
may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal
protector. If temperature in motor should rise, switch
will cut off all power before damage can be done
to motor. When motor has cooled, switch will reset
automatically and restart motor. If protector trips
repeatedly, pump should be removed and checked.
Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller,
very low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen discharge
pipe, etc., could cause protector to trip.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a pump
manually and suddenly no water comes out of the
discharge hose, shut off the unit immediately. The unit
has broken prime due to a very low water level.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Before attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
