THE SUMP PIT
1.
The sump pit should be large enough to prevent frequent
cycling of the pump. A sump pit of not less than 12"
(30cm) in diameter and 18" (46 cm) deep is required.
2.
The sump pit should have a hard bottom. Do not place the
pump directly on clay, earth or sand surface. Make sure
there are no small stones or gravel in the pit which may
become clogged in the pump.
3.
The sump pit may be constructed of tile, concrete, steel or
plastic. Check local codes for satisfactory materials.
INSTALLATION
1.
DISCONNECT POWER AT THE MAIN
ELECTRICAL BOX BEFORE INSTALLING OR
SERVICING THE PUMP. DO NOT PLUG IN UNIT OR
CHANGE FUSES WHILE STANDING ON WET OR DAMP
SURFACES, AND DO NOT TOUCH ANY OTHER METAL
SURFACES WHILE PLUGGING IN PRODUCT OR
CHANGING FUSES. CHANGE FUSES WITH ONE HAND
WHILE KEEPING THE OTHER HAND FREE.
2.
Clean any debris from the pit and set the sump pump
in place. The solid bottom of the sump will prevent
clogging of the pump from sand and dirt.
3.
LOCATE THE PUMP IN THE CENTER OF THE PIT
SO THAT THE PUMP HOUSING AND ANY FLOAT
CONTROL WILL NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH
THE SIDE OF THE PIT AND CREATE OPERATIONAL
PROBLEMS.
4.
Connect the discharge piping and run it to the nearest
sewer or surface outlet. Sump pumps can be piped
to discharge into the house drainage system, to a dry
well or splash block, or to a storm drain, depending on
local plumbing codes. Always use a check valve when
connecting discharge line to sewer lines. The discharge
piping should be as short as possible to reduce pipe
friction losses. It is recommended that the discharge
pipe diameter be equal to or larger than the discharge
size of the pump. Smaller pipe diameters will restrict the
capacity of the pump and reduce performance.
5.
Always install a union in the discharge line, preferably
just above the sump pit, to allow easy removal of the
pump for cleaning or repair.
6.
For installations where the piping is long, the vertical
discharge is above 7' or 8' (2 or 2.5 m), or a small
sump has been provided, use of a check valve is
recommended to prevent backflow of water into the
sump and to reduce cycle frequency.
7.
DO NOT ALLOW THE CORD TO INTERFERE WITH
THE FLOAT CONTROL MOTION OR TO DRAPE OVER
THE PUMP MOTOR. With electrician's tape, secure the
cord to the discharge pipe. This will provide protection
for the cord and make a neat installation.
8.
After the discharge piping is complete and the sump
cleaned, connect the pump cord to the electrical outlet
and run water into the sump to test the pump. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER
-- SEALS AND BEARINGS COULD BE DAMAGED.
9.
Fill the sump with water to the normal turn-on level
and allow the pump to remove the water to the normal
control turn-off point.
10. Install a sump cover. A cover will prevent solid matter
from falling into the sump, prevent odors, and guard
against accidental injury.
OR DISCHARGE PIPING WHEN THE PUMP IS
CONNECTED TO ELECTRICAL POWER AND
WATER IS PRESENT IN THE SUMP.
DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.
COLUMN SUMP PUMP ASSEMBLY
1.
Locate float rod guide about 6" (15 cm) below motor.
Clamp guide to column with screw provided. DO NOT
OVERTIGHTEN!
2.
Screw float onto threaded end of rod until no threads are
visible. Threads on rod will cut threads into corrosion-
resistant float.
3.
Insert end of float rod up through eye of rod guide.
4.
Position lower rubber float rod stop approximately 8" (20
cm) from the top of float rod.
5.
Pass rod through hole in pump switch.
6.
Slide top rubber float rod stop even with top of the rod
after passing through hole in switch.
of flooding. Be sure that float rod is vertical and can
move up and down freely. If float is angled or binds, pump
may not start, allowing flooding to occur.
7.
With lower rod stop in this position, pump will
automatically cycle at approximately 2½" (6.4 cm) off and
10" - 12" (25 - 30 cm) on. For faster cycling, move lower
rod stop closer to switch lever arm.
