Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
• Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if
required by code.
• Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water.
• Connect the power cord to a constant source of power matching the pump nameplate voltage.
• Do not connect to voltage other than that shown. The fuses and circuit breaker should be of ample
capacity in the electrical circuit.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit.
OPERATION
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
• Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump. If pump is
run dry, it may damage pump and will void the warranty.
• Do not let the unit freeze. Freezing may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
NOTE: If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow
Automatic Operation Testing
1. Be sure the gate valve in the discharge line is open.
2. Remove the rubber plug on the basin cover in order to observe switch operation.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with the pump voltage.
4. Run water into the basin until the pump is activated.
5. Confirm that the pump and its float switch are functioning as intended:
• Confirm that the ON/OFF levels are within specification.
• Confirm that no potential obstructions exist that could inhibit switch operation.
• Confirm that there are no leaks in the pump discharge plumbing and main home drain pipe
plumbing.
• 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.
6. Allow the pump to operate through several on/off cycles.
