5.1 Site Preparation
- Ensure the installation area is level and provides adequate space for the basin and access for maintenance.
- Verify that the electrical supply meets the pump's requirements (115V, 60Hz).
- Plan for proper drainage and ventilation according to local plumbing codes.
- The system is designed for indoor use.
5.2 Plumbing Connections
- Connect the inlet pipe from the fixture(s) to the molded inlet hub on the basin.
- Connect the 2-inch discharge pipe to the pump's discharge port and route it to the main sewer line or septic system. A check valve is recommended but not included.
- Connect the 2.38-inch vent pipe to the basin's vent location and route it outdoors or to an approved vent stack.
- Ensure all connections are watertight and sealed properly to prevent leaks and odors.
5.3 Electrical Connections
- The pump comes with a 20-ft. cord and a grounding-type attachment plug.
- Plug the pump into a properly grounded 115V, 60Hz electrical outlet.
- Install the indoor high water alarm in a visible and audible location. Connect its float switch to the alarm unit and place the alarm float within the basin, ensuring it can move freely.
- Ensure the electrical circuit is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) for added safety.
6. Operating Instructions
The Little Giant Pit Plus JR Sewage Basin System operates automatically via its float switch. When the liquid level in the basin rises to the "On" level (9"-14"), the pump will activate and begin discharging waste. When the liquid level drops to the "Off" level (2"-6"), the pump will shut off.
- Initial Start-up: After installation, ensure all connections are secure and power is supplied. Allow the basin to fill with water to observe the pump's automatic activation and deactivation cycles.
- High Water Alarm: If the liquid level continues to rise beyond the pump's "On" level, the high water alarm float will activate the indoor alarm. This indicates a potential issue with the pump or discharge line. Silence the alarm using the silence button and investigate the cause.
- Alarm Test: Periodically test the alarm by manually lifting the alarm float or by allowing the basin to fill until the alarm activates. Press the test button on the alarm unit to confirm its functionality.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your sewage basin system.
- Monthly Inspection:
- Check the basin for excessive debris accumulation.
- Verify that the float switches move freely and are not obstructed.
- Test the high water alarm.
- Annual Cleaning:
- WARNING: Disconnect power before cleaning.
- Remove the pump access cover and carefully lift the pump out of the basin.
- Clean any accumulated sludge or debris from the pump intake and the bottom of the basin.
- Inspect the pump impeller for blockages.
- Reinstall the pump and ensure all covers are securely fastened.
- Alarm Battery Replacement: Replace the 9-volt battery in the indoor alarm system annually, or as indicated by the alarm unit.
8. Troubleshooting
