connections or adjustments are necessary except for
attaching discharge piping and plugging in service cord.
B-2) Receiving:
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for

For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as
factory assembled, in a dry atmosphere with constant
temperatures for up to six (6) months.
Long Term-
Any length of time exceeding six (6) months,
but not more than twenty four (24) months. The units
should be stored in a temperature controlled area, a roofed
over walled enclosure that provides protection from the
elements (rain, snow, wind blown dust, etc..), and whose
temperature can be maintained b40 deg. F and
+120 deg. F. Pump should be stored in its original shipping

SECTION C: INSTALLATION
C-1) Location:
These pumping units are self-contained and are
recommended for use in a sump or basin. This pump is
designed to pump rain water or light effl uent, nonexplosive
and noncorrosive liquids and shall
NOT
be installed in
locations classifi ed as hazardous in accordance with the
National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 or the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
The sump or basin shall be vented in accordance with
local plumbing codes. Provide proper sump diameter of
approx. 18” (457mm) minimum and depth of approx. 20”
(508mm)minimum to allow the pump and switch to operate
without restriction. The fl oat switch should not come in
contact with side or bottom of sump. Make sure sump
is free of string, cloth, nails, gravel, etc. before installing
pump. Never install the pump in a trench, ditch, or hole
with a dirt bottom where the suction will become plugged.
C-1.1) Submergence:
The minimum sump liquid level should never be less than
4 inches (102mm) above the pump bottom.
C-2) Discharge:
Discharge piping should be as short as possible. The
installation of a check valve in the discharge piping is
recommended for each pump being used. The check valve
is used to prevent backfl ow into the sump. Excessive
backfl ow can cause fl ooding and/or damage to the pump.
C-3) Liquid Level Controls:
Figure 2 shows a typical installation for a submersible
pump using a piggy-back wide angle level control mounted
to the pump.
General Comments:
1) Never work in the sump with the power on.
2) Level controls are factory set. Be certain that the level
control cannot hang up or foul in its swing. Also, make
certain the pump impeller is still submerged when the level
control is in the “OFF” mode.
3) Plug the pump plug into a GFI receptacle. One cycle
of operation should be observed, so that any potential
problems can be corrected.
