104 Drain Pump Systems

Notice to Installer: Instructions must remain with installation. Trusted. Tested. Tough. MEETS UPC COMPLIES WITH ASME A112.3.4 AND CSA B45.9.

• MODEL 104 IS NOT UPC APPROVED.

  1. Inspect your unit. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before using. DO NOT remove the test plugs from the pump.
  2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference.

Warning
SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS

1. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded receptacle of grounding type must be installed and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) and in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes. (SEE WARNING BELOW)
2. Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage o the pump motor. But more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the sump.
3.  Testing for Ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified electrician.
4. For Added Safety. Pump must be connected to a 3-prong grounded outlet interrupter device (ground fault circuit interrupter).
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a properly grounded receptacle of grounding type must be installed and protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in accordance with national electrical code and local codes.
6.  Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
7. Risk of electric shock – These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
8.  Prop65 Warning for California residents:
   Warning : Cancer and Reproductive Harm- www.P65Warning.ca.gov.

CAUTION
SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF CAUTIONS

1. Check to be sure your power source is adequate for handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump or basin plate.
2.  Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according to the National Electrical Code for the current shown on the pump name plate.
3.  All plumbing (discharge and vent lines) must be installed to meet local codes. Unit must be vented. DO NOT USE AN AUTOMATIC PLUMBING VENT DEVICE SIMILAR TO A “PRO-VENT”. Some states require this product to be installed by a licensed plumber.
4.  Repair and service should be performed by Zoeller Pump Company Authorized Service Station only.
5.  CHECK VALVE MUST BE USED TO REDUCE UNNECESSARY CYCLING OF PUMP. Check valve must be purchased separately on model 104 only.
6.  Dewatering pumps are not designed or intended for handling raw sewage.
7. Maximum operating temperature for 105-131 Drain Pumps must not exceed 130 °F (54 °C). 104 Drain Pumps are not to exceed 110 °F (43 °C).
8. For health reasons, do not unplug, turn off, or disable pump and use pump tank system as a way to fill up a sink or laundry tray, etc.
9. Unit is designed for above ground installation only.

Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested to UL Standard UL778. CSA Certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108.

Service Checklist

Warning: ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS- Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump – making sure you are not standing in water and wearing insulated protective sole shoes. Under flooded conditions, contact your local electric company or a qualified licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
Warning: Submersible pumps can become pressurized under normal operating conditions — allow 2-1/2 hours after disconnecting before attempting service.

overload open, open or incorrect wiring, open switch, impeller or seal bound mechanically, defective capacitor or relay when used, motor or wiring shorted. Float assembly held down. Switch defective, damaged, or out of adjustment.
B. Motor overheats and trips overload or blows fuse.| Incorrect voltage, negative head (discharge open lower than normal) impeller or seal bound mechanically, defective capacitor or relay, motor shorted.
C. **Pump starts and stops too often.| Float too tight on rod, check valve stuck, or none installed in long distance line, overload open, switch defective.
D. ****Pump will not shut off.| Debris under float assembly, float or float rod bound by basin sides or other, switch defective, damaged or out of adjustment.
E. Pump operates but delivers little or no water.| Check strainer housing, discharge pipe, or if check valve is used, the vent hole must be clear. Discharge head exceeds pump capacity. Low or incorrect voltage. Incorrect motor rotation. Capacitor defective. Incoming water containing air or causing air to enter pumping chamber.
F. ****Drop in head and/or capacity after a period of use.| Increased pipe friction, clogged line or check valve. Abrasive material and adverse chemicals could possibly deteriorate impeller and pump housing. Check line. Remove base and inspect.
G. If tank or fittings leak.**| Carefully tighten pipe joints (use pipe dope) and screws. Check gasket location, tighten lid evenly. Do not over tighten fittings or screws.

Performance Characteristics

Determine Installation Configuration

NOTE: The basin is designed to be installed directly under the sink (Internal Trap) or on the side (Standard).
IMPORTANT! Check local and state codes before using the internal trap option.
1.1) Figure 1.1A and 1.1B are typical configurations for installation of the drain systems. The actual configuration will vary depending on your cabinet and sink configuration.
NOTE: If installing the internal trap, record the “x” dimension, it will be required in Step 4.
