* Effluent systems should specify that pumps should not handle solids exceeding 3/4" (19 mm) in order to prevent large solids from entering leeching fields, mound systems, etc.
(70 Series have 3/8" (9 mm) solids capability. 50, 140/4140, 371 and 372 Series have 1/2" (13 mm), 130 Series has 5/8" (16 mm), 145/4145, 160/4160, 180/4180 and 373 models
have 3/4" [19 mm].) Where code permits, sewage pumps can be used for effluent systems. Non-automatic pumps with external-level controls are recommended for septic tank
effluent applications.
PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Inspect all materials. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs from the pump.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.
1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded receptacle or control box
must be installed in accordance with the governing codes. Never remove ground
pin from plug.
2. Make certain that the ground fault interrupter protected receptacle or control box is
within the reach of the pump's power supply cord. 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 damp or wet area.
3. Make sure the pump's electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers
of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according to the
local electrical codes for the current shown on the pump name plate.
4. Testing for ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for
ground using a 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.
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER
SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. If pump is wired direct, de-energize the circuit at
the control box. Wear insulated protective shoes and do not stand in water. Pumps
equipped with a 3-prong ground plug are designed to help protect against electrical
shock. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE GROUND PIN.
6. Installation and servicing of the pump, electrical circuits and hardware should only be
performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.
7. Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief or connect
conduit directly to the pump. If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by
the Manufacturer or an Authorized Service and Warranty Center to avoid a hazard.
8. Pump contains oil which becomes pressurized and hot when operating. Allow 2-1/2
hours after disconnecting before attempting service.
9. Pump is not intended for potable water due to possible contamination by oil contained
in the pump.
10. Risk of electrical shock. These pumps have not been investigated for use in swim-
ming pools and marine areas.
11. A ccording 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.

CAUTION
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. The installation of variable level float switches is the responsibility of the installing
party, and care should be taken that the tethered float switch will not hang up on the
pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so that the pump will shut off. It
is recommended to use rigid pipe and fittings and the pit be 18" (46 cm) or larger in
diameter.
3. 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. If a check valve is incorporated in the installation, a
3/16" (5 mm)vent hole must be drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve and
pit cover to purge the unit of trapped air. Vent hole should be checked periodically for
clogging. The vent hole on a High Head application may cause too much turbulence.
If you choose not to drill a vent hole, be sure the pump case and impeller is covered
with liquid before connecting the pipe to the check valve. NOTE: THE HOLE MUST
BE BELOW THE BASIN COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY. Water stream will
be visible when pump is operating.
4. 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.
5. Maximum operating temperature for standard model pumps must not exceed
130 °F (54 °C). Maximum operating temperatures for 70 series and model 211
must not exceed 110 °F (43 °C). Maximum operating temperatures for 73, 75,
212 series and model 211 must not exceed 104 °F (40 °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 health reasons, do not unplug, turn off, or disable pump and use pump tank
system as a way to fill up a sink or laundry tray, etc.
8. 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 Electric Code, ANSI, NFPA 70.
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.
