**** SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause explosion or fire, resulting in serious personal
• injury and/or property damage.
• Always disconnect the pump from its power source before installing, inspecting, maintaining, or repairing.
• Do not stand in water when the pump is connected.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT and can cause serious skin burns.
• Do not disassemble the motor housing. The motor has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembling may cause oil leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.

CAUTION

• This pump was designed exclusively for SEWAGE WATER TRANSFER applications, i.e. transferring water with 2 in. suspended, stringy solids in it, and NOT to pump clear water from sump pits, hot water applications, water fountain/features applications, etc.
• Call an electrician when in doubt. The pump should be connected to a separate 15 A circuit breaker or 15 A fuse block. Plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at the motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or a burned out motor.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free service for a long time when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate electrical power to the pump, dirt, or blockage by ice or debris may cause the pump to fail, eventually bringing about additional water damage. To minimize the potential for water damage due to pump failure, please carefully read the manual and follow the instructions regarding common pump problems and remedies or call 855-927-2896.
• This pump has not been tested or approved for use in swimming pools or in salt-water marine areas. It is also not engineered to be run continuously as a “fountain” or “waterfall” pump. Because this pump has an oil-filled motor, it should NOT be used in water containing fish. Pump only water with this pump.
• Under safety, the pump motor has an automatic resetting thermal protector that automatically will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and will void the warranty.
• Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.

**** ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
4. Release all pressure (drain all water) within system before servicing any component.
5. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud and sand during operation  to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent clogging and premature pump failure.
7. Check that all pipe connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a life threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 15 Amp or larger fuse or circuit breaker.
11. Periodically inspect the pump and system components to be sure the pump inlets are free of mud, sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

**** PREPARATION

WARNING: Always use handle to lift pump. Never use power cord to lift pump. To avoid skin burns, unplug and allow time for the pump to cool after periods of extended use.
Estimated Assembly Time (New installation): 30 minutes (or longer if installing new sump pit).
Materials Required for Assembly (not included):
Threadsealanttape, 2 in. Check valve, 2 in. Elbow, 2 in. Union, 2 in. Nipplepipe, 2 in. Gate valve
Tools Required for Assembly (not included):
Wrench, Phillips screwdriver

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Connecting a discharge pipe to the pump
   Wrap the threads of the 2 in. discharge pipe (1) with threadsealant tape. Attach the discharge pipe (1) to the discharge of the pump(2). IMPORTANT: To prevent air locks in bottom suction sewage pumps, you must drill a 1/4” weep hole in the discharge pipe, as shown in figure 1 (#2be sure the hole is below the check valve and cover. drill the hole in an upward fashion to allow water to spray down. this weep hole will allow air to escape out of the pump housing to prevent air locks. the weep hole should be checked and cleaned periodically.

2. Place the pump on a hard surface inside a sewage basin.2. Placing the pump in a sewage basin. Place the pump on a hard surface inside a sewage basin. Take care to assure the pump switch can move freely with no restrictions and is not placed directly under the tanks inlet. Debris falling directly on the switch can cause the pump to not turn on. For best results, the switch should be 180 degrees from the inlet (as shown in figure 2) and won’t touch the side of the pit.

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

OPERATION

1. Connecting power
   Plug the pump power cord plug into the piggyback switchplug outlet.
   Plug the switch plug into a 115V GFCI power outlet.
   Allow pump to operate through several on-off cycles. With the pumps power cord plugged into the piggy-back switch plug, the pump will run automatically. To test the pump periodically, you can plug the pump power cord directly into a GFCI. Do not run the pump manually longer than 5 seconds as it can create an airlock. Place the pump power plug back into the piggy-back float switch for automatic operation.
   NOTE: if using an extension cord, do not use over 25’ cords.
   Longer cords can reduce electrical capacity and the pump may not start.
   Contact technical services for questions on longer cord lengths. 833-290-1189.

2. 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. The pump should turn off near middle of the pump and before breaking suction. The pump should turn on with the liquid just over the top of the pump. If you hear humming coming from the pit and no liquid being pumped, the switch may need to be raised or the switch may be hung up. Adjust to make sure proper operation.
