General Installation Steps (Consult PDF for specifics):

1. Prepare the Sump Pit: Ensure the pit is clean and free of debris. The pit should be large enough to accommodate the pump and allow the float switch to operate freely.
2. Position the Pump: Place the pump on a solid, level surface at the bottom of the sump pit. Ensure it is not resting directly on dirt or gravel.
3. Connect Discharge Piping: Attach appropriate discharge piping (e.g., PVC pipe) to the pump's discharge port. Use a check valve in the discharge line to prevent water from flowing back into the pit when the pump shuts off.
4. Route Discharge Line: Route the discharge line away from the foundation to a suitable drainage area.
5. Electrical Connection: Plug the pump into a grounded 120V AC outlet. Ensure the outlet is on a dedicated circuit and protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
6. Test Operation: Fill the sump pit with water to verify the pump activates, removes water, and shuts off correctly as the water level drops.

5. Operating Instructions

The PROFLO PF92330 sump pump is designed for automatic operation via its integrated float switch. Once properly installed and connected to power, the pump will activate when the water level in the sump pit rises to a predetermined level and will shut off when the water is sufficiently removed.

• Automatic Operation: The float switch will automatically turn the pump ON when water reaches the "ON" level and OFF when water drops to the "OFF" level.
• Manual Override (if applicable): Some float switches allow for manual testing by lifting the float. Refer to the specific float switch instructions if a manual override feature is present.
• Continuous Monitoring: Periodically check the sump pit to ensure the pump is operating correctly, especially during heavy rain or snowmelt.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your sump pump.

• Monthly Check:
  • Pour a bucket of water into the sump pit to ensure the pump activates and drains the water.
  • Verify the float switch moves freely and is not obstructed.
• Quarterly Cleaning:
  • Disconnect power to the pump.
  • Remove the pump from the pit.
  • Inspect the intake screen for debris (e.g., gravel, dirt, string) and clean as necessary.
  • Check the impeller for any obstructions.
  • Clean the sump pit of any accumulated sludge or debris.
  • Reinstall the pump and test its operation.
• Annual Inspection:
  • Inspect the power cord for any signs of damage or fraying.
  • Check all pipe connections for leaks.
  • Ensure the check valve is functioning correctly.
