Testing Manual Pump Operation
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
• Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of water is to
be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during operation and disconnected from power before
the pump runs dry.
• If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer's instructions. Failure to
install control in compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within manufacturer's
recommendations may result in electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
For automatic operation of a manual pump, refer to
1. Connect a discharge hose to the pump's discharge port.
2. Place pump into a basin or test reservoir.
3. Direct the opposite end of the discharge hose back into the basin or test reservoir so the water dis-
charged from the hose during testing will be contained within the basin or test reservoir.
4. Secure the hose to prevent the water pressure created during testing from causing the hose to exit
the basin or test reservoir.
5. If there is a gate valve on the discharge line, be sure it is open.
6. Using a separate water source, fill the basin or test reservoir until the pump is fully submerged.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to run the pump without water.
NOTE: Do not overfill the basin or test reservoir.
7. Plug the pump's power cord into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle with voltage
consistent with the pump voltage, as indicated on the pump nameplate.
8. Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended.
9. Disconnect power from the pump.
• If pump is not functioning as intended, refer to
