Safety Information

Precautions

Keep this instruction manual in a safe place for future reference.
Do not cut off the ground pin or use an adapter fitting.
Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord must be connected to a separately fused, grounded line with a minimum capacity of 15 A. It can be connected to a non-fuse breaker at the recommended amperes.
Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to provincial and local codes and must be completed before priming the pump. Consult appropriate community agencies or local electrical and pump professionals.
The voltage of the power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
Place the pump on dedicated circuits to avoid low voltage.
Plastic PVC pipe can be installed in the outlet piping. A drain hose, galvanized steel, or copper pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging.
The pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids contain solid particles larger than 2 in. (5.1 cm).

Limitations

This pump is designed exclusively for SEWAGE WATER TRANSFER applications, i.e., transferring water with up to 2 in. suspended solids. It is NOT intended for pumping clear water from sump pits, hot water applications, water fountain/features applications, etc.

Pre-Installation

Installation Requirements

The pump features an on/off float switch for automatic operation. Refer to installation instructions included with switches and controllers.

Prevent the pump from running dry.
Install the pump in a suitable gas-tight basin with a minimum diameter of 18 inches and a minimum depth of 36 inches, vented according to local plumbing codes.
Place the pump on a hard, level surface. Avoid clay, earth, or gravel surfaces.
The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel pipe. Use proper adapters for plastic pipe connections.
Install a union in the discharge line above the sump pit for easy pump removal for cleaning or repair.
A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent backflow. The check valve should allow solids to pass easily.
❗ CAUTION: For best performance with solids, install check valves horizontally or at an angle not exceeding 45°. Do not install vertically, as solids may settle and prevent opening.
When using a check valve, drill a 3/16-inch relief hole in the discharge pipe below the floor line between the pump discharge and the check valve. This prevents air-lock.
A gate valve should follow the check valve for periodic cleaning or pump removal.
Keep the discharge line as short as possible with minimal turns to reduce friction head loss. Do not restrict discharge to sizes below 2 inches.
Sewage and effluent applications require a separate sump vent, connected to the building vent or extended outside.

❗ CAUTION: Call an electrician if in doubt. Connect the pump to a separate 15 A circuit breaker or fuse block. Plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage, blown fuses, or motor overload.

Problem	Probable Causes and Solutions
The pump does not run and makes a humming sound.	Line circuit breaker is off, or fuse is blown/loose. Water level in the basin has not reached the turn-on level. Pump cord is not making contact. Float is stuck; ensure it operates freely. If above are OK, motor may be malfunctioning.
The pump runs but does not deliver water.	Check if the check valve is installed backward; arrow should point in flow direction. Discharge shut-off valve (if used) may be closed. Pump or volute openings are clogged; remove and clean the pump. Pump is air-locked; cycle power, check for clogged vent hole. Inlet holes in the pump base are clogged; remove and clean. Vertical pumping distance is too high; reduce distance or change discharge fittings.
The pump runs and pumps out sump, but does not stop.	Float is stuck in the up position; ensure it operates freely. Float switch is defective; replace it.
The pump runs but only delivers a small amount of water.	Pump is air-locked; cycle power, check for clogged vent hole. Vertical pumping distance is too high; reduce distance or change fittings. Impeller or volute openings are clogged; remove and clean the pump.
The fuse blows or circuit breaker trips when the pump starts.	Pump impeller is partially clogged, causing motor overload; remove and clean. Motor stator may be defective. Fuse size or circuit breaker is too small (must be 15 A). Impeller or volute openings are clogged; remove and clean.
The motor runs for a short time and then stops.	Inlet holes in the pump base are clogged; remove and clean. Pump impeller is partially clogged, causing motor overload; remove and clean.
