Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.
Do not lift pump by power cord. See "Lifting Pump" and
Figure 1.
NOTE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay, or
gravel surfaces. Basin must be at least 18" in diameter and
30" deep.
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. Do
not lift pump by power cord.
This pump is designed for use in a residential sewage or
septic system only. Use only within design parameters.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed as a waterfall or fountain
pump, or for applications involving salt water or brine! Use
with waterfalls, fountains, salt water or brine will void
warranty.
Do not use where water recirculates.
Not designed for use as a swimming pool drainer.

Lifting Pump
1. Use handle on top of pump for all lifting/lowering of
pump. Disconnect power to pump before doing any
work on pump or attempting to remove pump from
sump.
2. Attempting to lift or support pump by power cord can
damage cord and cord connections.
3. Cord may pull apart, exposing bare wires with
possibility of fire or electrical shock.
4. Lifting or supporting pump by power cord will void
warranty.

Piping
Piping must not be smaller than pump discharge.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids
present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minimum flow
requirements of 2 feet per second (61 cm/sec) in discharge
line, size pipe as follows:
TABLE I
Use a 2" (51 mm) minimum check valve in pump
discharge to prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin.
The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily
pass solids. Be sure check valve installation complies with
local codes.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when
handling solids, do not install it with discharge more than
45° above the horizontal. Do not install check valve in a
vertical position as solids may settle in valve and prevent
opening on startup.
Drill a 3/16" (5 mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1 to 2"
(25-50 mm) above pump discharge connection (but below
check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.

pump, follow safety instructions below.
1. DO NOT splice the power cord, submerge electrical
2. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is connected
