INSTALLATION STEPS
We recommend that you install your pump in a clean location where there is adequate room
for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing temperatures and good ventilation should
be considered as well, to provide the pump an environment for long life. Do not use to pump
gas or toxic fuels. This submersible sump pump is designed to pump water only.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when the horizontal
offset is greater than 50 feet. The discharge pipe should be increased from 1 1/2” to 2”. This
will reduce friction losses and allow the pump to give maximum performance.
More friction losses must also be taken into consideration when many elbows and fittings are
installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be considered as 1 feet of head.
The float switch of your pump has been pre-set at the factory and does not need any adjustment.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur. Fill pump pit or sump basin with
water before turning on the power.
Assuming that you have a sump pit located in your basement floor... Your sump pit must be
constructed from concrete, brick, tile or more recently a sump basin made from plastic and/or
fiberglass. The minimum size of your sump pit must be 18” in diameter and no less than 25”
deep. When pit is ready, proceed to next step.

The following are minimum requirements in order to protect your residence from flooding. It is a small
investment but it is your personal responsibility to protect your home, family and valuables. Failure to comply

adhered to.
