INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Make certain that the receptacle is within reach of the pump’s power supply cord.
Do not use primary pump circuit. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension
cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor,
and they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged
or the connection end were to fall into a wet or damp area.
2. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers
of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according to
the National Electrical Code for the current shown on the pump nameplate.
3. Testing for ground: as a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for
ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate
if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they
are not, call a qualified, licensed electrician.
4. For Added Safety: pumping and other equipment with a 3-prong grounded plug must
be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle. For added safety the receptacle
may be protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter. When a pump needs to be
connected in a watertight junction box, the plug can be removed and spliced to the
supply cable with proper grounding. For added safety this circuit may be protected
by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. The complete installation must comply with the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER
SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a 3-prong
grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO
NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong
plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation
does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local
codes and ordinances.
6. The tank is to be vented in accordance with local plumbing code. Pumps must be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. Pumps are not to be installed in locations classified as hazardous
in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
7 .
Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief
or connect conduit directly to the pump.
8. Installation and servicing of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by
a qualified, licensed electrician.
9. Pump installation and servicing should be performed by a qualified person.
10. Risk of electrical shock. These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming
pools and marine areas.
11. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
12. It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery and battery connection
at least
once a month
. Batteries contain acid and caution must be taken when handling.
1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements
of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.
2. Vent hole. It is necessary that all submersible sump, effluent,
and sewage pumps
capable of handling various sizes of solid waste be of the bottom intake design
to reduce clogging and seal failures. Vent holes should be checked periodically
for clogging. The 50 Series pumps have a vent located in the pump housing
opposite the float, adjacent to a housing lug. Water stream will be visible from
this hole during pump run periods.
3. Pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build up which may interfere
with the float “on” or “off” position. Repair and service should be performed by an
Authorized Service and Warranty Center only.
4. Dewatering and effluent sump pumps are not designed for use in pits handling
raw sewage.
5. Maximum operating temperature must not exceed 130 °F (54 °C).
6. Do not operate a pump in an application where the Total Dynamic Head is less
than the minimum Total Dynamic Head listed on the Pump Performance Curves.
7. For indoor use only.
8. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear water. Do not use in septic
tanks to pump effluent or sewage pits to pump sewage.
9. Repair and service of your DC backup system should be performed by an
Authorized Service and Warranty Center.
10. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps requires the use of a variable level
float switch for operation. It is the responsibility of the installing party, to ensure
that the float switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit
peculiarities
and is secured so the pump will turn “on” and “off”. It is recommended that the pit
be 18" (45.7 cm) in diameter or larger to accommodate both a primary and a DC
backup pump.
NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested to UL Standard UL778.
CSA Certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108.
