DESIGN OF PUMP
The Liberty SumpJet® is designed for emergency backup to your existing pump system. It uses the municipal water supply to
evacuate water from the sump. It is not intended to be used as the main sump water removal pump. It is intended to remove
clear sump water only. Liberty Pumps recommends the use of an audible high water alarm. The model SJ10A features an
alarm system to warn when the
SumpJet® is activated. If you purchased the model SJ10 (without alarm) and wish to add the
alarm feature, order part number ALM-P1 from you local distributor or contact the factory for more information. Prolonged use of
the
SumpJet® will result in increased municipal water consumption. The SumpJet® will use approximately 1 gallon of water
to remove 2 gallons of sump water, depending on elevation.
2-3 INSPECTION UPON RECEIPT
The shipping container should be immediately inspected for damage that may have occurred in shipment. Exercise care in
opening the shipping container to avoid damage to the pump. Remove any blocking and cushioning from within the container.
Check all cushioning for spare parts before discarding. Visually check the pump and any spare parts for damage. Report any
damage or shortage of parts.
2-4
STORAGE BEFORE USE
Liberty pumps are shipped from the factory ready for installation and use. They should be held in storage if the pump station is
not complete. If storage is necessary, the pump should remain in its shipping container. It should be stored in a warehouse or
storage shed that has a clean, dry temperature-stable area where the pump and its container should be covered to protect it
from water, dirt, dust, etc.
AT NO TIME SHOULD THE PUMP BE STORED WITHIN AN INCOMPLETE WET PIT. THE PUMP SHOULD
NOT BE PLACED INTO THE PIT UNTIL IT CAN BE FULLY OPERATED.
2-5
LONG TERM STORAGE
If it is necessary to store a pump for a long period of time, it should be stored indoors in a clean, dry temperature-stable
environment. The pump should be covered to protect it from dust, dirt and water.
Do not allow the pump to freeze.
2-6
MAINTENANCE
Installed pumps which are idle for long periods of time should be manually operated once a month to ensure proper
operation. Check for proper operation of the float and clean any debris that may be on the float or the suction screen. Make
sure that the float operates freely without any restrictions.
2-7
OPTIONAL ALARM
The SJ10A pump comes supplied with a pre-mounted alarm probe. If you would like to add an alarm to the SJ10 system,
Liberty Pumps offers a model, ALM-P1, which is suitable for this installation.
