SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this sym-
bol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the fol-
lowing signal words and be alert to the potential for personal
injury!

sonal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.
The label
NOTICE
indicates special instructions which are impor-
tant but not related to hazards.
Make sure installation complies with all electrical / plumbing
codes.
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause serious or fatal
electrical shock. Disconnect power to pump before servicing.
If floor is wet, disconnect power at main electrical service
before walking on it. Do not stand in water or touch metal
surfaces when switching circuit breaker or removing/installing
fuses.
Pump is equipped with a three-prong, grounding cord and
plug. Do not modify cord or plug. Plug this unit into a 115V
outlet, on an individual branch circuit, with a Class A, 10 amp
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
Do not use in explosive environments. Pump
water only with this pump. Inspect sump, pump and system
components monthly. Keep free of debris and foreign objects.
Perform routine maintenance as required.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose
is used, pump may move around in sump when motor
starts. If it moves far enough so that switch hits side of sump,
switch may stick and prevent pump from starting. Make sure
pump is secured so it cannot move around in sump.
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many years of
trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained, and
used. However, unusual circumstances (interruption of power to
the pump, dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that exceeds the
pump’s capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.)
may prevent your pump from functioning normally. To prevent
possible water damage due to flooding, consult your dealer about
installing a secondary sump pump, a DC backup sump pump,
and/or a high water alarm. See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this
manual for information about common sump pump problems and
remedies. For more information, see your retailer, call Flotec cus-
tomer service at 1-800-365-6832 or visit our website at

PERFORMANCE
OPERATION
Pump is equipped with an automatic float switch which starts
pump when water level reaches 10"-12". Pump automatically
turns off when level drops to 4" - 6".
GENERAL GUIDELINES
Sump should be at least 18" deep. Inside diameter of sump
should be at least 14".
Check Valve is built-in. If necessary to allow flowback from dis-
charge pipe to sump:
• Drill a 1/8" diameter hole in the discharge pipe 2” above the
pump. Pump should be installed below the basement floor
level.
Discharge Pipe: Pump is supplied with flexible connector that fits
1-1/2” PVC or ABS pipe. Adapter insert allows use of 1-1/4” PVC
or ABS pipe. PVC or ABS adapters may be purchased to fit other
discharge pipe sizes.
ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can cause severe or fatal
electrical shock. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly ground-
ed, grounding type receptacle.
Plug this unit into a 115V outlet, on an individual branch circuit,
with a Class A, 10 amp GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).
For installation of such a circuit, consult a licensed electrician.
ELECTRICAL SERVICE
AC power outlets should be on a separate 10 amp individual
branch circuit; 115V, AC, 60 cycles, and located within 8 ft. of
sump. Ground terminal on pump cord plug is provided for your
protection. DO NOT REMOVE!
PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Remove debris and foreign material etc., from sump to pre-
vent clogging.
2. Place pump on smooth, level surface. Use building blocks or
bricks to elevate pump screen a minimum of 2" above mud,
sand or loose stones.
3. Locate pump in center of pit so pump housing and float con-
trol will not come in contact with side of pit and create opera-
tional problems.
4. Slip connector hose over pump discharge. Install and tighten
first clamp.
5. Place second clamp loosely over connector hose.
6. Slip connector hose over discharge pipe. Clamp hose tightly
with second clamp. Run discharge piping to nearest outlet,
depending on local plumbing codes. Discharge piping should
be as short as possible to reduce pipe friction losses.
Discharge pipe diameter should be equal to or larger than dis-
charge size of pump. Smaller pipe diameters will restrict
capacity of pump and reduce performance.
7. Securely anchor flexible discharge line if used. If line is not
secure, pump may tip during operation.
