GENERAL INFORMATION
1. These pumps are equipped with a vertical magnetic float switch.
The pump will turn on automatically when the water level in
the sump reaches approximately the float switch "on" level and
automatically turn off when the water is pumped down to the float
switch "off" level. See Chart A for details.
2. The sump pit must be a minimum of 18" deep and 10" in
diameter. The pump requires a minimum diameter of 10" to
prevent excessive pump cycling.
INSTALLATION
1. For your safety, turn off the electrical power at the service
entrance to avoid any possible electrical shock hazards.
2. On a replacement installation, remove the existing pump from
the sump by disconnecting the discharge pipe or hose from the
old pump. Depending on how your old pump is installed, unscrew
clamps and discard old corrugated hose, or unscrew galvanized
or plastic pipe from pump discharge. If discharge pipe cannot be
removed easily, saw through the pipe about five feet above the
pump discharge.
3. After removing the old pump, remove sediment, debris, and any
standing water from the sump pit.
4. Place your pump in the sump and attach the discharge piping. Be
sure that the pump is positioned so that the float switch moves
freely without touching the wall of the sump or other obstructions.
(See Fig. 1).
5. Install a full flow check valve to prevent back flow which can
cause the pump to cycle too frequently and result in wear and
shortened motor life. Drill 3/16" vent hole in piping below the pit
cover and check valve. Water stream will be visible from this hole
during pump run periods. Reattach discharge piping as required.
6. Do not allow the cord to interfere with the float control motion or
to drape over the pump motor. With electrician's tape, secure the
cord to the discharge pipe. This will provide protection for the
cord and make a neat installation.
7. Plug in pump and restore electrical power at the service entrance.
Fill sump pit with water to check automatic switch operation.
8. Install a sump cover. A cover will prevent solid matter from falling
into the sump, prevent odors, and guards against accidental
injury.

PERFORMANCE
Your pump will operate effectively pumping clear, storm and drain
waters. Although it will usually pass small particles suspended in
water - grass, heavy mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the pump
and reduce the pump's performance. This can usually be cleaned
out by back-flushing on pump side of check valve with a garden
hose through the discharge.
