Safety
General Safety
Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many years of trouble-free
service when correctly installed, maintained, and used. However, unusual circum-
stances (interruption of power to the pump, dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that
exceeds the pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.)
may prevent your pump from functioning normally. To prevent possible water
damage due to flooding, consult your retailer about a secondary AC sump pump,
a DC backup sump pump, and/or a high water alarm. See the "Troubleshooting
Chart" in this manual for information about common sump pump problems and
remedies. For more information, see your retailer or call customer service at
800-628-9439.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump water only with
this pump. Failure to follow this warning can result in personal injury
and/or property damage.
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 prevent pump
from starting or stopping.
2. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will
whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain all
connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Keep sump, pump and
system free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as
required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose discharge line can be shut-
off or obstructed.
10. 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 the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master switches, and by
removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety codes,
as well as most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational Safety
and Health Act (OSHA).
Pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting ther-
mal protector and may restart unexpectedly.
12. Risk of electric shock. This equipment is only for use on 115
volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and
3-prong, grounding-type plug.
To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is con-
nected to properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with
properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at motor. Refer to most
recent National Electrical Code.
16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to operate at
high temperatures.
17. Do not use in water where fish are present.

Description
The submersible pump is designed for water removal in home applications. Pump
can be used for sump service and dewatering. Unit is constructed of hi-impact
corrosion resistant plastic. Screened inlet prevents large solids from entering
pump.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water or brine! Use
with salt water or brine will void warranty.

Installation
Do not use power cord to lift motor. Always use handle.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid foundation. Do not
suspend pump by means of discharge pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet
screen clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid stripping or crossing
threads.
a. To install with garden hose, install adapter provided with pump.
NOTICE: To keep friction as low as possible, hose must be 3/4" or larger.
Keep hose as short as possible.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread with PTFE pipe
thread sealant tape. Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ. operation and requires an
individual branch circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity. It is supplied with a
3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet.
3 wire extension cord, of at least 14 AWG (2mm
sizes for runs over 25 ft (7M). For safety, 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 the
round grounding prong.
The pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting ther-
mal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is indi-
cation of motor overloading as a result of operating pump at low heads
(low discharge re striction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate
wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.
Operation
Risk of burns or death from electric shock. Do not handle
pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp
surface, or in water. Disconnect power from pump before handling,
servicing, or attempting to repair pump.
1. The pump must be standing in at least 1/2" (12.7mm) of water before starting
it (one inch (25.4 mm) is better). The shaft seal is water lubricated and may be
damaged if pump runs dry.
2. After starting, the pump will lower the water level to 3/16" (4.75 mm) before
losing suction. It will not pick up water less than 3/16" deep when running and
will not operate successfully if started in only 3/16" of water.
3. Do not leave pump unattended! If the pump has been operating satisfactorily
and the discharge stream suddenly stops coming out of the hose, stop the
pump immediately; do not allow it to run dry. A mop or squeegee will be
needed to remove remaining water.
4. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload
protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector will stop the motor
before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload
protector will reset itself and the motor will restart.
