REPAIR PARTS
8. Set the pump and pipe down into the basin.
9. Install the rubber discharge grommet into the basin cover.
Lubricate the grommet with dish soap and slide the cover
down over the discharge pipe. If necessary, file the sharp
edges of the pipe.
10. Pull the power cords up, through the center electric cord
hole and Install the electric cord grommet, into the cover.
11. Install the rubber vent pipe grommet into the vent hole, in
the cover. Slide the 2” vent pipe 2 inches into the hole.
The vent pipe must go through the roof of the building or
it can be connected to an existing vent pipe. The sewage
basin must be vented.
NOTICE:
Bolt the lid to the basin. Do this before the con-
crete floor is poured. This will prevent wet concrete from
filling up your bolt holes and keep the basin from warping.
12. Install a 2” check valve in the horizontal portion of the
discharge pipe. See Figure 1. Make certain, the flow indi-
cating arrow, points away from the pump. This check
valve will keep the water from running back into the
basin when the pump is not running.
13. Double check the connection between the discharge pipe
and the septic or sewage tank. They must be connected
before the pump is plugged in.
14. Insert the float switch piggy-back plug into the properly
grounded outlet.
15. Plug the pump into the piggy-back plug.
16. Check the operation by filling the sump basin with water
and observing pump operation through one complete
cycle.
Failure to make this operational check may
lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.
Explosion hazard.
Improper ventilation of
sewer gases can result in leakage of methane sewer gas, and a
possible explosion of fumes, resulting in severe injury or
death. Vent basin according to all local codes.
NOTICE:
Proper ventilation is also needed to prevent negative
basin pressure and to provide the necessary air for proper aer-
obic activity within the basin.
MAINTENANCE
The sump basin and cover, pump, and piping should be pro-
tected from freezing temperatures. If there is any danger of
freezing temperatures, the unit should be drained. Consult
your pump manual for instructions on how to drain the pump
to protect it from freezing.
NOTE: No replacement parts available. Do not install basin or
pump in any location classified as hazardous by the United
States National Electrical Code (NEC), or by the Canadian
Electrical Code (CEC), where applicable.
