Operation
Risk of electric shock. 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 cut off
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. For switch settings see Electrical
& Switch Specifications.
Risk of flooding.Failure to make
this operational check may lead to improper
operation, premature failure, and flooding.
Operation
Risk of electric shock. Do not handle
a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

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, 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.
NOTICE: For continuous operation, water
depth must be at least 5" (127mm) to prevent
the motor from overheating. A fully submerged
pump is preferred for proper cooling when a
pump runs continuously.
attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
