We recommend that a separate circuit be lead from the
home electrical distribution panel properly protected
with a fuse or a circuit breaker. We also recommend
that a ground fault circuit be used. Consult a licensed
electrician for all wiring.
The ground terminal on the three prong plugs should
never be removed. They are supplied and designed for
your protection.
Never make adjustments to any electrical appliance or
product with the power connected. Do not only unscrew
the fuse or trip the breaker, remove the power plug
from the receptacle.
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.

MONTHLY MANDATORY CHECK-UP:
1. Inspect the pump and the sump for any obvious
condition that necessitates cleaning, correction,
adjustement or repair.
2. Clear the sump and the surroundings of any paper,
leaves or other debris that might clog the input
openings. Remove anything that might float into the
sump.
3. Assure that the pump is secure and vertical for
proper operation.
4. Assure that there is adequate clearance from any
combustible materials or structure. Stored materials
must be kept away from the pump. Shelves or
cabinet structures must not be in close proximity
over the pump.
5. Assure that the motor is securely plugged into a
proper GFCI electrical outlet.
6. Test the ‘GFCI’ outlet by pressing its test switch.
This should prove that the outlet is energized and
will trip off to protect against a ground fault. Be sure
to reset the ‘GFCI’ by pressing its reset switch.
7. Lift the float to prove that the pump will start when
required. (Step 8 below will test submersible pumps
with enclosed floats).
8. Put a pail of water (8 liters) in the sump to prove that
any check valve present will permit effluent to flow.
9. Observe that the plumbing can carry the effluent
safely out of the residence.
