Installation and Operation
7. Power Supply: The pump is designed for 115 V.,
60 Hz., operation and requires a minimum
15 amp individual branch circuit. The pump is
supplied with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-
type plug. Be sure it is connected only to a
properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock,
burn or kill. The pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical
ground such as a grounded water pipe or a
properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground
wire system. Do not modify the cord or plug or
cut off the round ground pin.
8. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside
sub-freezing atmosphere, portion of line exposed
must be installed so any water remaining in pipe
will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do
this can cause water trapped in discharge to
freeze which could result in damage to pump.
9. After piping, check valve and float switch have
been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
10. Check the pump operation by filling sump with
water and observing pump operation through
one complete cycle.
Risk of Flooding. Failure to make
this operational check may lead to improper
operation, premature failure, and flooding.

OPERATION
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or
cause death. Do not handle a pump or pump motor
with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water. Before attempting to check why
unit has stopped operating, disconnect power from
unit.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication.
Do not operate pump unless it is submerged
in water as seal may be damaged if allowed to
run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal
protector. If temperature in motor should rise
unduly, switch will cut off all power before
damage can be done to motor. When motor has
cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automatically
and restart motor. If protector trips repeatedly,
pump should be removed and checked as to
cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long extension
cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or
a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., could
cause cycling.
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a
pump manually, and suddenly no water comes
out of the discharge hose, shut off the unit
immediately. The water level is probably very low
and the unit has broken prime.
Risk of electric shock. Before
attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
Airlock
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move
any water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat
and fail. This pump has a built in anti-airlock hole
(see Repair Parts diagram). Water leakage from the
anti-airlock hole is normal.
If you suspect an airlock, unplug the pump, clean out
the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip or a piece of
wire, and restart the pump.
