Periodic Service

3. Fill the sump pit to the normal "ON" level and allow pump to remove water to the normal "OFF" level. If
the pump does not operate properly, refer to
be found, please contact the place of purchase or Technical Support at 888-885-9254.
4. Adjust the pump level by raising or lowering the lower rubber stopper on the float stem.
5. Place the cover on the sump basin (if provided). This will prevent debris from falling into the basin.
Make sure the cover does not obstruct free movement of the float and that maximum clearance is pro-
vided around the pump column and float stem.
MAINTENANCE
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high
temperatures, or pressurized fluids.
• Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing the pump
or switch.
• Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not open the sealed portion of the unit
or remove housing screws.
• Do not remove the motor housing cover.
• Do not remove the impeller
• Warranty is void if the motor housing cover, impeller, or seals have been removed. Repairs on the
motor or impeller require special tools.
Sump pumps are usually idle in dry weather, and may receive little or no maintenance during this time. But
when needed, after long periods of non-use, they are expected to perform without failure. This pump is
designed to require as little maintenance as possible; however, for long life and reliable service, periodically
check the pump and its installation during dry months to be sure that it will be ready when needed.
Periodic Service
Inspect and test the pump system condition and operation every three months—more frequently in heavy
use applications.
1. Check the power cords, electric receptacle, and/or
cord on these units cannot be replaced. If damaged, replace the pump.
2. Remove all debris (gravel, sand, floating debris, etc.) from the basin.
3. Check the pump system components (basin, pump, switch, etc.) for any build-up (sludge, sediment,
minerals, etc.) that would inhibit functionality of the components. If significant, remove build-up or
replace affected components.
4. Confirm that all flexible coupling hose clamps are fully engaged with plumbing and fully tightened.
5. Test operation of the pump system. Refer to
6. While the pump is running, make sure a stream of water is escaping from the air bleed hole. If not, clear
the hole of any deposits or debris.
