Specifications

NOTE: Do not reduce size of discharge pipe or hose below 1-1/4 in. diameter. If discharge is too small, pump will overheat and fail prematurely. This pump is designed for use in a residential sump only. Only pump water with this pump.

Installation

Diagram Description: An illustration shows the submersible sump pump installed in a sump pit. The pump is connected to a discharge pipe which includes a check valve. A float switch is visible, along with an anti-airlock hole and a PVC threaded adapter.

1. Install the pump in sump pit with minimum diameter of 10 in. (254mm) for models equipped with vertical switches and 14 in. (356 mm) for tethered float switch models. The sump depth should be 14 in. (356mm) for vertically switched models and 18 in. (457mm) for tethered models. Construct the sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for approved materials and for proper installation.
2. Install the pump in a pit so that the switch operating mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
3. The pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand surfaces. Clean the sump pit of small stones and gravel which could clog the pump. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.

   NOTE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.

4. Install discharge plumbing. Use rigid plastic pipe and wrap threads with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Screw pipe into the pump hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns.

   ⚠️CAUTION: Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump is secured in the sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure the pump may allow pump movement, switch interference and prevent the pump from starting or stopping.

5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of rubber hose (1-7/8 in. (47.6mm) I.D., e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into the discharge line near the pump using suitable clamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve or an in-pump check valve to prevent flow backwards through the pump when the pump shuts off.

   NOTE: If your check valve is not equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent air locking the pump, drill a 1/8 in.(3.2 mm) hole in the discharge pipe just above where the discharge pipe screws into the pump discharge. Be sure the hole is below the waterline and the check valve to prevent air locks.

7. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V, 60 Hz, operation and requires a minimum 15 amp individual branch circuit. Plug the power plug into a 115V GFCI power outlet.

   ⚠️WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Pump should always be electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off the round ground pin.

8. If the pump discharge line is exposed to outside subfreezing atmosphere, a portion of line exposed must be installed so any water remaining in the pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can cause water trapped in the discharge to freeze which could result in damage to the pump.
9. After the piping and check valve have been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
10. Check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and observing pump operation through one complete cycle.

    ❗CAUTION: Risk of flooding. Can cause personal injury and/or property damage. Failure to make this operational check may lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.

Operation

⚠️WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.

1. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as the seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector. If temperature in the motor should rise unduly, the switch will cut off all power before damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, the pump should be removed and checked. Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen discharge pipe, etc., could cause the protector to trip.
3. The pump will not remove all water. If operating a pump manually, and suddenly no water comes out of the discharge hose, shut off the unit immediately. The water level is probably very low and the unit has broken prime.

⚠️WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Before attempting to check why the unit has stopped operating, disconnect power from the unit.

❗CAUTION: Do Not Change the preset tether length.

Diagram Description: A diagram shows a float switch with dimensions 4" ± 0.5".

Care and Cleaning

❗CAUTION: Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns, unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.

Do

• When the power is disconnected, inspect the pump suction screen and remove all debris, then plug the pump back into the grounded (GFCI) outlet.

Do Not

• Do not disassemble the motor housing. This motor has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembly may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
• Do not lift up the pump by the power cord.

To clean a pump clogged with debris:

• Unplug the pump from electrical power.
• Unscrew the stainless screws (5), and remove the volute (4).
• Use a flathead screwdriver to hold the shaft (1), then turn the impeller (2) counterclockwise to release the impeller (2).
• Remove debris from around the shaft (1) and on/under the impeller (2).
• Reassemble the pump.

Diagram Description: An exploded view of the pump shows components labeled 1 (shaft), 2 (impeller), 3 (housing), 4 (volute), and 5 (screws).
