1. Make sure there is a properly grounded receptacle
available. All pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding
to protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. (SEE WARNING
BELOW)
2. Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the
pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Exten-
sion 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 end were to fall
into the sump.
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 electri-
cal 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. For Added Safety. Pumping and other equipment with a
3-prong grounded plug must be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle.
For added safety the receptacle may be protected with a ground-fault circuit
interrupter. When a pump needs to be connected in a watertight junction
box, the plug can be removed and spliced to the supply cable with proper
grounding. For added safety this circuit may be protected by a ground-fault
circuit interrupter. The complete installation must comply with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
6. Risk of electric shock. These pumps have not been
investigated for use in swimming pool and marine areas.
7. 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.
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 variable level
float switches or nonautomatic pumps using auxiliary variable level 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 pump 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 18" or larger in diameter.
3. Information - vent hole purpose. It is necessary that all
submersible sump, effluent, and sewage pumps capable of handling vari-
ous sizes of solid waste 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 unit of trapped air. Trapped air is caused
by agitation and/or a dry basin. Vent hole should be checked periodically
for clogging. If you choose not to drill a vent hole, be sure the pump case
and impeller is covered with liquid before connecting the pipe to the check
valve and no inlet carries air to the pump intake. NOTE: THE HOLE MUST
ALSO BE BELOW THE BASIN COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY.
Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods.
NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested
to UL Standard UL778. CSA Certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard
C22.2 No. 108.
PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
*Effluent systems should specify that pumps should not handle solids exceeding three fourths inch (¾”) in order to prevent large solids from entering leeching fields, mound systems
and etc. Where codes permit, sewage pumps can be used for effluent systems. Nonautomatic pump(s) with external level control recommended for septic tank effluent applications.
