6. Plug the pump (A) into a GFCI outlet. The pump is now
ready for use.
7. Check the pump (A) by filling the sump pit with water and
observe the pump's (A) operation through one complete cycle
and make sure the pump (A) cannot move in the sump pit and
that the float switch moves freely up and down.
WARNING: The tether length (distance between the float switch and clamp, see picture above) is
factory pre-set to 4 in. This is the recommended setting. If the water is rising too high before the pump
turns on, slightly shorten the tether by loosening the clamp, then re-tighten. However, shortening the
tether too much can lead to frequent starts and stops of the pump, which can shorten the life of the motor.
If there is not enough room for the float to operate properly, consider purchasing a vertical float switch or
increasing the size of the sump pit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the pump is not running properly, remove the screws (#4), remove the volute (#3), and inspect the
impeller (#2). The impeller may need to be re-tightened to the shaft (#1) (see next page for diagram).
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This motor has NO repairable internal parts, and
disassembling may cause an oil leak or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
