Safety Information

PRECAUTIONS

1. Read instructions carefully before attempting to install, operate, or service this pump. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards. Protect yourself and others by observing all safety information. Failure to comply with instructions could result in personal injury and/or property damage! Retain instructions for future reference.
2. Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the intake may cause damage to the seal and may starve the pump. If you require reduced flow rates, then place a valve on the discharge side of the pump. If flexible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to restrict the flow.
3. Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by pumping fluid. You may damage the seal and the motor may fail if the pump is allowed to run dry.
4. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning instructions outlined in the Care and Cleaning section. Do not let the unit freeze in the wintertime. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit

DANGER: Keep pump equipment out of the reach of children! Failure to follow the directions given could cause serious risks to individuals or objects.
WARNING: Warnings indicate to the operator that the failure to follow instructions may damage the pump and/or the system.
WARNING: Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain the power source is disconnected.
WARNING: Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres or hazardous locations as classified by NEC, ANSI/NFPAT. Use the pump with liquids compatible with the pump component materials.
WARNING: Do not handle the pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water.
WARNING: Do not pull the pump out of the water by the power cord when the pump is operating or connected to a power source.
WARNING: This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle.
WARNING: The National Electric Code requires a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to be installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment, pools, etc.

Safety Information (continued)

WARNING: Support the pump and piping when assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause • the piping to break, pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
WARNING: This pump’s motor housing is filled with dielectric oil for motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication of the bearings. This oil is non- toxic to aquatic life. However, suffocation can occur if oil is left on the water’s surface. If oil escapes the motor housing it can be removed from the surface quickly by placing newspapers on the water surface to soak up the oil.
WARNING: The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Check the pump label for the proper voltage required. Do not connect to a voltage other than that shown.
WARNING: If the pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong is to ground the pump to prevent a possible electrical shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug. A separate branch circuit is recommended. Do not use an extension cord. Do not cut the plug from the cord. If the plug is cut or the cord is shortened, then this action will void the warranty.
WARNING: If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires. such as on 230v models, be sure that the lead wires are connected to a power source correctly. The (green/yellow) wire is the ground. The (blue or white) and (brown or black) are live.
WARNING: Check local electrical and budding codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
WARNING: To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps must be wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250 ft., 14 AWG wire is sufficient. For longer runs consult a qualified electrician or the factory.
WARNING: The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit line. Fuses and circuit breakers should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit
WARNING: The flexible PVC jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box and mounted outside of the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code.

Pre-Installation

BEFORE FIRST USE
Carefully examine the pump and all parts to ensure no parts are damaged. If any part of the pump appears to be damaged, do not use this pump and contact the Customer Service Team at 1-844-883-1872.
INTENDED USE
This is a submersible sump pump for use in basins or lift stations and suitable for pumping liquids with up to 1/2 in. (5/8 in. for HDS75) spherical solids.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
This pump is provided with an on/off float switch for automatic operation. Refer to the Installation instructions included with switches and controllers for installation. Care should be taken to prevent the pump from running in a dry sump. The pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin which is a minimum of 14 in. in diameter and a minimum of 22 in. deep and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pump must be placed on a hard-level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay, earth, or gravel surfaces. The pump can be installed with ABS, PVC, polyethylene, or galvanized steel pipe. Proper adapters are required to connect plastic pipes to the pump. Always install a union in the discharge line, just above the sump pit, to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair. A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent the backflow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
CAUTION:
For best performance of check valves when handling solids, install them in a horizontal position or at an angle of not more than 45°. Do not install a check valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in the valve and prevent opening during start-up.
This pump uses an air evacuation method called a “weep hole”. The weep hole allows air to escape the pump casting to prevent air lock. When the water is pumped down to a low level, some water may stream out of the weep hole. This is a normal operation.
A gate valve should follow the check valve to allow periodic cleaning of the check valve or removal of the pump. The remainder of the discharge line should be as short as possible with a minimum of turns to minimize friction head loss. Do not restrict the discharge to sizes below 1-1/2 in.. Sewage and effluent applications will require a separate sump vent. A connection is provided on top of the sump or cover which must be piped to the existing building vent or extended outside with its own standpipe.

MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)
Before using this pump, ensure you have the following items:

Installation

Connecting a discharge pipe to the pump

• Wrap the threads of the 1-1/2 in. discharge pipe (1) with thread sealant tape.
• Attach the discharge pipe (1) to the discharge of the pump (2).

Placing the pump in a basin
Place the pump on a hard surface inside a sump basin.

Connecting the check valve

• Connect the discharge pipe (1) to the elbow (2), union (3), check valve (4), and gate valve (5).

Operation

Connecting power and test I pump operation
NOTE: When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch operation cannot be observed. The sump cover usually will have a spare that is plugged with a rubber plug. This plug can be removed and switch operation can be observed.

• Plug the pump power cord plug into a 115V GFCI power outlet.
• Run water into the pump until the pump starts. Ensure the gate valve in the discharge line is open.
• Allow the pump to operate through several on/off cycles.

Operating the pump

• When the float switch (1) moves up over the top of the pump, the pump begins to operate. When the water lowers to a certain level, the float switch (1) will turn the pump off.
• This pump uses an air evacuation method called a “weep hole”. The weep hole allows air to escape the pump castin to prevent air lock. When the water is pumped down to a low level, some water may stream out of the weep hole. This is a normal operation.

NOTE: Ensure the pump is submerged in water. Running the pump dry can damage the pump.

Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Ensure the pump is disconnected from the power source before attempting to service or remove any component.
WARNING: Do not remove the impeller. Removal of the impeller requires special tools and can only be performed by an authorized service center.

To clear a pump that is clogged with debris:

• Unplug the pump to disconnect the electrical power.
• Unscrew the six screws (1) on the pump body and take the rubber belt (4) down from the volute (2).
• Remove the volute (2).
• Remove debris from around the impeller (3).
• Reassemble the pump.

ADDITIONAL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES

• This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not, in any case, open the sealed portion of the unit or remove the housing screws.
• Periodic cleaning of the pump parts will prolong the LIFE and EFFICIENCY of the pump. Refer to the assembly and disassembly of the pumping head.
• Ensure the power cord is in good condition and contains no nicks or cuts.
