DESCRIPTION
This Myers Sump Pump System is ideal for basement and cellar installations. It includes a submersible sump pump and a corrosion-resistant sump basin and lid. The pump features a flush-mount system for maximum discharge of the basin. All components of the sump pump system are preassembled at the factory for easy installation. This submersible pump is designed for sump drainage, dewatering and flood control. The pump has built-in thermal overload protection and an automatic reset. The mechanical seal and ball bearings on the motor shaft are permanently lubricated. This system is designed for residential use only. The supplied hardware kit includes a rubber inlet hub, a cord grommet and an exterior check valve. No special tools or sealants are required.

NOTE: This system is not designed for applications involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void warranty. Pump water only with this pump. Install on a hard, level surface of sediment or gravel

WARNING
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or kill. See Cord Lift Warning in Safety section

PIPING
Piping must not be smaller than pump discharge.

ELECTRICAL
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill. When installing, operating, or servicing this pump, follow the safety instructions listed below. Do not lift pump by the power cord. See “Cord Lift Warning”.

1. DO NOT splice the electrical power cord.
2. DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be submerged.
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or damage motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service the pump while it is connected to the power supply.
5. DO NOT remove the grounding prong from the plug or modify the plug. To protect against electrical shock, the power cord is a three-wire conductor and includes a 3-prong grounded plug. Plug the pump into a 3-wire, rounded, grounding-type receptacle. Connect the pump according to the NEC or CEC and local codes.

Connect or wire pump to its own individual branch circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit. Size fuses or circuit breakers according to information in the Specifications section of this manual.

WARNING
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure that power supply information (Voltage/ Hertz/Phase) in this manual matches incoming power supply exactly. Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.

NOTE : Proper ventilation is needed to prevent negative basin pressure and to provide air within the basin.

The basin should be located at the lowest place in the basement or area to be drained. Floor drains from other areas in the basement may be tiled into the basin. Drain tile around a house foundation may also be tiled into the basin, effectively removing water and relieving pressure from this area. Basin covers are used to exclude refuse from the basin

1. Dig the hole for the basin and the sub-base. The hole must be deep enough so the top of the basin is flush with the finished floor. The sub-base should include 4″ of sand or gravel. The maximum diameter of crushed rock should be 1/2″. The recommended maximum diameter of pea gravel is 3/4″.
2. Level the sub-base out until it is smooth. Sharp rock can damage the basin.
3. Reach into the inlet hole to retrieve the hardware kit. Locate the cord grommet in the hardware kit.
4. Reach into the inlet hole again to pull the power cord up through the cord grommet hole in the cover. Press the cord into the cord grommet and install the grommet in the cover.
5. Locate the inlet hub in the hardware kit, and snap it into the inlet hole.
6. Install the basin on top of the sub-base.
7. Insert a 4″ inlet pipe through the inlet hub. Insert it 2″ into the basin. Dish soap can be used to lubricate the inlet hub. If necessary, file the sharp edges of the pipe to prevent damage to the hub. The inlet pipe should pitch down to the basin inlet at 1/4″ per foot. This will cause the water to run into the basin.
8. Backfill around the basin with crushed rock, with a maximum diameter of 1/2″, or use pea gravel.
9. Install a 1-1/2″ discharge pipe into the 1-1/2″ FNPT discharge flange.
10. Install a 2″ vent pipe into the 2″ FNPT threaded vent flange. The vent pipe must go through the roof of the building or it can be connected to an existing vent pipe. The sump basin must be vented. Proper ventilation is needed to prevent negative basin pressure and to provide the necessary air within the basin. Do not use a 1-way vent of any kind
11. Install the 1-1/2″ check valve (supplied) in the discharge pipe. Make certain the flow indicating arrow points away from the pump. This check valve will keep the water from running back into the basin when the pump is not running. To prevent clogging the pump, clear basin of any debris if you remove the cover during or after installation. Unplug the pump first.
12. Plug the pump into a properly grounded outlet.
13. Check the operation by filling the basin with water and observing pump operation through one complete cycle. Make sure that no parts of the assembly interfere with the float.

WARNING
Failure to make this operational check may lead to improper operation, premature failure, and flooding.

Operation

1. Make sure the pump is properly primed with water before operation to prevent dry running and potential damage to the pump or voiding of the warranty.
2. Do not touch an operating motor as modern motors can operate at high temperatures.
3. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water.
4. Monitor the sump pump system for proper operation and ensure that the discharge pipe is properly flowing and draining water away from the property.

The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication and cooling. Do not operate the pump unless it is submerged in water as the seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry. Allowing the pump to run dry will void the warranty. An automatic overload protector in the motor will protect the motor from burning out due to overheating/overloading. When the motor cools down, the overload protector will automatically reset and start the motor. If the overload trips frequently, check for the cause. It could be a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or an electrical failure in the motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected, have it serviced by a competent repairman. The pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is required. The pump will not remove all water. For extended operation, water depth must be at least 5″ (13 cm) to prevent motor overheating.

AIRLOCKS
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and fail. The discharge pipe is plumbed with a predrilled anti-airlock hole. Leakage from the anti-airlock hole is normal during pump operation.

FLOAT SWITCH – OPERATIONAL CHECK

1. Fill the sump with the correct amount of water to check the operation and tightness of the connections. During the first automatic cycle, it may take 30 seconds or more before the pump is primed and pumping. The pump will start as indicated in the Specifications section of this manual.
2. Check the turn-off position. The pump will stop approximately as indicated in the Specifications section of this manual.
3. If the pump does not operate, check the electrical service.

The vertical float has a short range of motion along a vertical rod, which helps prevent the float from sticking.

Maintenance

1. Regularly inspect the sump pump system for any signs of damage or wear.
2. Clean the sump pit and ensure that the pump and check valve are free of debris.
3. Replace any missing or damaged safety labels.

The pump should only be serviced by trained personnel. There are no consumer serviceable parts inside the pump. Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or kill. Before removing the pump from the basin for service, always disconnect electrical power to the pump and the control switch. Do not lift the pump by the power cord. See the “Cord Lift Warning”. To prevent clogging the pump, clear basin of any debris if you remove the cover during or after installation. Unplug the pump first. Disconnect the discharge and vent pipes from the unit, remove the four basin cover bolts, and then lift the pump out of the basin using the pump handle. DO NOT attempt to open the pump further than removing the bottom plate. The pump motor housing contains a special lubricating oil which should be kept clean and free of water at all times. The sump basin and cover, pump, and piping should be protected from freezing temperatures.
