PRE INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the
voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump
name plate.
2. The installation of automatic pumps with auxiliary float switches
is the responsibility of the installing party and care should be
taken that the tethered float switch will not hang up on the
pumping apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so that
the pump will shut off. It is recommended to use rigid piping and
fittings and the pit be 12" or larger in diameter.
3. Vent hole purpose. It is advisable that all submersible sump
pumps be of the bottom intake design to reduce clogging and
seal failures. If a check valve is incorporated in the installation,
a vent hole (approx. 3/16") must be drilled in the discharge
pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge the bottom
intake unit of trapped air. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/
or a dry basin. This vent hole should be checked periodically for
clogging. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump
run periods.
4. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used to handle
sewage or effluent.
5. This pump has been evaluated for use with WATER only.
6. Maximum continuous operating water temperature for standard
model pumps must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

Product information presented
here reflects conditions at time
of publication. Consult fac-
tory regarding discrepancies or
inconsistencies.
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer
before using. Do Not remove the test plug in the cover.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These
materials should be retained for future reference.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit protected
by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor (GFCI). All pumps are
furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you
against the possibility of electrical shock.
2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach
of the pump’s power supply cord DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver
sufficient voltage to the pump motor. But, more important, they
could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become
damaged or the connection ends were to fall into the sump and
become wet.
3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses
or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is
recommended, sized according the National Electrical Code for the
current shown on the pump name plate.
4. TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each electrical
outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters
Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power,
neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If
they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician.
5. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should
only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.
7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help
protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND
PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a mating 3-prong
fault interrupter receptacle. If the installation does not have such
a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired, and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.
8. Risk of electric shock. This pump has not been investigated for use
in swimming pool or marine areas.
9. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
