SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
This fine pump that you have just purchased
is designed from the latest in material
and workmanship. Before installation and
operation, we recommend the following
procedures:
Check with your local electrical and
plumbing codes to ensure you comply
with the regulations. These codes have
been designed with your safety in mind.
Be sure you comply with them.
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.
