General Safety
Information
(Continued)
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
the motor must be securely and
adequately grounded. This can be
accomplished by inserting plug
directly into a properly installed
and grounded 3-prong, grounding-
type receptacle (as shown in Figure
1).
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced
with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance
with the NEC and local codes and
ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
13. It is strongly recommended that this
unit is plugged into a Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Consult a
local electrician for installation and
availability (See Figure 1).
The pump motor is
equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector
and may restart unexpectedly.
Protector tripping is an indication of
motor overloading as a result of
operating the pump at low head (low
discharge restriction), excessively high
or low voltage, inadequate wiring,
incorrect motor conditions, or a
defective motor or pump.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.Use wire of ade-
quate size to minimize voltage drop
at the motor.
15. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface,
or in water.
If your basement or
room has water or
moisture on the floor, do not walk on wet
area until all power has been turned off. If
the shut-off box is in basement, call the
electric company to shut-off service to the
house, or call your local fire department
for instruction. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
Installation
IMPORTANT
: This pump is not designed
for use in septic tanks or underground
vaults to handle raw sewage or effluents.
It should never be used in hazardous or
explosive locations. Do not use power
cord to lift motor. Always use the handle.
NOTE:
Pump is supplied with a discharge
check valve and a garden hose adapter.
The check valve should be used to
prevent water from back flushing
through the pump when it shuts off.
1. Pump should be located and should rest
on a level solid foundation. A minimum
of one and a half (1-1/2) inches of water
is recommended to properly prime
utility pump. Do not suspend pump by
means of the discharge pipe or power
cord. Keep pump inlet screen clear. Do
not install pump directly on clay, earth
or sand surfaces. Protect pump from
extreme heat and cold. Use pipe joint
sealant to ensure airtight pipe connec-
tions
2. Thread discharge (outlet) pipe into
pump carefully to avoid stripping or
cross threading.
3. To install garden hose, install the
adapter provided with the pump.
Thread garden hose onto the check
valve fitting.
NOTE
: The garden hose must be 3/4 inch
or larger to keep friction as low as
possible.
A 1 inch sump discharge hose adapter
can be connected directly to the pump
body using Teflon
®
tape.
4. Run discharge pipe/hose away from
the pump.
5. It is strongly recommended that this
pump motor be electrically connected
to a ground fault interrupter. Consult
your local electrician for availability
and installation.
Power Supply: Pump is designed for 120
volt, 60 Hz operation and requires a
circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity.
Pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord set
with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-
wire, grounded outlet.
Do not cut off the
round grounding
prong. Cutting cord or plug will void
warranty and may make pump inoperable
6. Do not bend, kink or cut power cord.
Protect cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil and chemicals. Replace
damaged cord.
7. After all piping and controls have
been installed, unit is ready for
operation.
Operation
Do not
touch
pump, pump motor, water or
discharge piping when the
pump is connected to electrical
power. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface, or in water.
Never touch the pump or discharge
piping when unit is operating or fails to
operate. Always disconnect the pump
cord (power) before handling.
Risk of
electrical shock! This pump is
supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding type
attachment plug. Use a grounded
receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal
electrical shock.
This pump is designed for 120 Volt, 60
Hz operation and requires a 15 amp
circuit or more and is equipped with a
3-wire cord set with a grounding-type
plug for use in a 3-wire grounded
outlet. For safety, this pump should
always be electrically grounded to a
suitable electrical ground. NEVER cut
off the round grounding plug.
1. Plug unit into 120 volt outlet. Pump
will run for 30 seconds.
TIME-SEQUENCED AUTOMATIC
OPERATION WHEN SUBMERGED IN A
MINIMUM OF 1-1/2 INCHES OF
WATER.
If no water is detected, pump
shuts off for 120 seconds.
Then
pump will run for 5 seconds. If no
water is detected, pump will shut off
for another 120 seconds.
The 5 / 120 cycle will repeat as long
as no water is detected.
If water is introduced during the
120 seconds and you do not
want to wait, simply unplug the
pump and plug back in.
This will
restart the 5 / 120 cycle.
2.The pump will pump water below
1/4 inch, but will not remove all of
the water. Use a mop or squeegee to
remove the remaining water.
Make certain that
the pump is
unplugged before attempting to service
or remove any component. This pump is
assembled in the factory using special
equipment; therefore only authorized
service dealers or qualified electricians
should attempt to repair this unit.
Improper repair can cause an electrical
shock hazard.
