Preinstallation Information
sized according to the “National Electrical Code” for the current
shown on the pump nameplate.
8. DO NOT run the pump dry. DO NOT run the pump
with a completely closed discharge. DO NOT pump chemical or
corrosive liquids. Failure to follow above warnings could result in
damage to the pump, voiding the warranty and causing personal
injury.
9. CAUTION Check to be sure your power source is capable
of handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on
the pump nameplate.
10. The installation of pumps using auxiliary variable level float switches
is the responsibility of the installing party. Care should be taken
such that the tethered float switch will not hang up and are secured
so that the pump will turn on and off properly.
11. CAUTION Water hammer creates momentary high pressure
surges. These surges can cause severe damage to check valves
and the piping system. Consideration for water hammer must be
included in the piping system design. Reference ASPE Data Book,
Chapter 2.33. Some systems may require external spring or lever
weighted check valves or other engineered solutions.
12.
CAUTION
In cold climates the discharge pipe may be subject
to freezing. If the riser on the septic tank is above the frost line, it will
be necessary to protect the system from freeze up. The discharge
pipe can be insulated or the check valve can be removed. If the
check valve is removed, the “on-off” cycle must be adjusted for
any back-flow from the discharge line.
13. 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. Inspect your unit. Occasionally, products are damaged
during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before
using.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself
with specific details regarding installation and use. These
materials should be retained for future reference.
3. “Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove
power supply cord and strain relief or connect conduit directly
to the pump. Installation and checking of electrical circuits
and hardware should be performed by a qualified and licensed
electrician.
4. Do not lift, carry, or hang pump by the
electrical cables. Damage to the electrical cables can cause
shock, burns or death.
5. for your protection, make certain the
pump ground wire is properly connected to the ground
wire with the incoming power line. Test for ground at the
junction box using an Underwriters Laboratory listed circuit analyzer
which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly
connected. If in doubt, call a qualified licensed electrician.
6. Make certain that the 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 end were to get wet.
7. Make sure the pump electrical supply
circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper
capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, and
