9. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
lighted – replace all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, mas-
ter switches, and by removing starter keys.
10. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes that apply.
11. This equipment is only for use on 220-240V/50 Hz/
1 Ph.
To reduce risk of electric shock, pull
plug before servicing. This pump has not been inves-
tigated for use in swimming pool areas.
12. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
13. Make certain power source conforms to requirements
of your equipment.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur-
faces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are
designed to operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands
or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in
water.
Risk of electric shock. If your basement
has water or moisture on floor, do not walk on wet area
until all power has been turned off. If shut-off box is in
basement, call electric company or hydro authority to
shut-off service to house, or call your local fire depart-
ment for instructions. Remove pump and repair or re-
place. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.

INSTALLATION
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter of
10" (254mm) for models equipped with vertical
switches and 14" (356mm) for float switch models.
Sump depth should be 14" (356mm). Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local
codes for approved materials.
2. Install pump in pit so that switch operating mecha-
nism has maximum possible clearance.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand
surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones and gravel
which could clog pump. Keep pump inlet screen
clear.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe and
wrap threads with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint
Stik*. Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 – 1-1/2
turns.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure pump is secured in sump to
prevent movement. Failure to secure pump may
allow pump movement, switch interference and pre-
vent pump from starting or stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length
of rubber hose (1-7/8" (47.6mm) I.D., e.g. radiator
hose) can be connected into discharge line near
pump using suitable clamps.
