INSTALLATION
PUMP INSTALLATION
These important instructions must be followed for satisfactory
performance of your pump:
1.
Provide proper sump (recommended minimum sump
diameter is 30").
2.
DO NOT set pump directly on the bottom of sump if it is not
solid. Raise the pump by using bricks or concrete blocks
underneath it.
3.
Make sure sump is free of string, cloth, nails, gravel, etc.
before installing pump.
4.
Only connect the pump to a properly grounded receptacle.
DO NOT remove ground pin from the electrical plug. DO NOT
use an extension cord.
5.
For proper automatic operation, make sure the pump
power cord is plugged into the piggyback receptacle on the
diaphragm switch cord.
6.
Connect to separate electrical circuit taken directly from
main switch.
7.
Use steel or plastic pipe for all connecting lines between
pump and sewer outlet.
NOTE Some city regulations do not allow installing a pump with
plastic pipe. Check local regulations.

8.
In applications in which the pump may sit idle for months at
a time, it is recommended that the pump(s) be cycled every
month to ensure the pumping system is working properly
when needed.
9.
Hydromatic check valve should be installed in discharge
pipe.
10. An audible alarm system such as the Q Alert (indoor use
only) for high water conditions should be installed in every
pump for greater protection. Contact your Hydromatic
distributor for additional panel applications.
When using the automatic diaphragm switch, the
vent tube in the plug must be clear of obstructions.
DO NOT bend cord. This will cause a crimp in the vent tube and
switch failure will occur. Pump should be plugged into a single
outlet, where vent tube can "breathe." Blocking tube or bending
cord will void the warranty.
