PRE-INSTALLATION

APPLICATION

This unit is a submersible effluent pump and designed for pumping effluent, wastewater or flooded water with up to 3/4 in. solids. The pump is built with overload thermal protections and auto reset. The pump is equipped with a 25 ft. 3- prong grounding-type power cord and tethered float switch. This pump operates automatically. Ball bearings on motor shafts never need lubrication.

TOOLS REQUIRED

MATERIALS REQUIRED (NOT INCLUDED)

Parts shown below not to scale.

SPECIFICATIONS

INSTALLATION

TYPICAL DEWATERING INSTALLATION (3/4 in. or less Solids)

Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement, asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay or gravel surfaces.

1. Piping must be 1-1/2 in. minimum to carry volume of pump discharge. Check local codes to determine if a check valve is required in your system. In cold climates, check valves are not used to prevent effluent from freezing in If using as a sump pump, a check valve is recommended.

2. Use a 2 in. (5.1 cm) swing check valve in the pump discharge to prevent backflow of liquid into the sump basin. The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
   For best performance of the check valve when handling solids, do not install it with the discharge angled more than 45° above the horizontal. Do not install the check valve in a vertical position as solids may settle in the valve and prevent opening on start up.

3. Drill a 1/8” (3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1”-2” (2.5 -5.1cm) above quick The hole must be in the sump.

TYPICAL EFFLUENT INSTALLATION

1. Electrical wiring and protection must be in accordance with National Electrical Code and any other applicable state and local electrical
2. Install proper unicheck (combination union and check valve), preferably just above the basin to allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair. On effluent, if high head or below cover installation is required use 1- 1/2 minimum pipe. See (4) below.
3. All installations require a basin cover to prevent debris from falling into the basin and to prevent accidental
4. When a unicheck is installed, drill a 1/8” (3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1”-2” (2.5 -5.1cm) above quick The hole must be in the sump. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods.
5. Securely tape or clamp the power cord to the discharge pipe, clear of the float mechanism(s).
6. Use full-size discharge
7. The basin must be in accordance with applicable codes and
8. The pump must be level and float mechanism(s) clear of the sides of the basin before starting the
9. The basin must be clean and free of debris after
10. The installer must supply the gate valve or ball valve and be installed according to any and all
11. Make sure nothing interferes with switch operation. This pump is preassembled with a piggyback tethered float switch, please don’t change the preassembled switch
12. Install the pump stand under the pump to provide a settling basin. Septic tank risers must be used for easy pump and filter access.
13. Double seal pumps offer extra protection from damage caused by seal failure.
    

All installations must comply with all applicable electrical and plumbing codes, including, but not limited to, National Electrical Code, local, regional, and/or state plumbing codes, etc. Not intended for use in hazardous locations.

Electrical

Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. When installing, operating, or servicing this pump, follow safety instructions listed below.

1. DO NOT splice the electrical power
2. DO NOT allow the electrical cord plug to be
3. DO NOT use extension cords. They are a fire hazard and can reduce voltage sufficiently to prevent pumping and/or damage the motor.
4. DO NOT handle or service the pump while it is connected to a power
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, grounded, grounding type Connect the pump according to electrical codes that apply.

For automatic operation, plug or wire the pump into an automatic float switch or pump controller. The pump will run continuously when plugged directly into an electrical outlet. Connect or wire the pump to an individual branch circuit with no other outlets or equipment in the circuit.
Size fuses or circuit breakers according to this chart:

Fuse Data

OPERATION

Do not handle this pump or plug in or unplug this pump with wet hands or while standing in water, unless you are certain all power has been turned off to the pump. Remember, the pump should be connected only to a properly grounded, GFCI outlet.

1. Make certain the pump is submerged in Running the pump dry can damage the shaft seal.
2. Plug the pump cord into the back of the float switch cord’s plug. Plug the float switch cord into a 115V GFCI power
3. After connecting power to the pump and periodically afterwards, test the pump:
4. Fill the basin to above the float switch operation on The pump should start pumping.
5. The pump should pump the water down to below its Float Switch Operation OFF Height and then stop
6. If the water drains back into the basin and restarts the pump, make sure the check valve is properly installed and Also make sure that all pipe connections are tight.
7. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector will shut off the pump before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload protector will reset, and the motor will

If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check to find the problem. Low voltage, a long extension cord, clogged impeller, screen blocked by debris, or water that is too hot can cause motor overheating.

CARE AND CLEANING

Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Do not lift the pump by the power cord.

securely plugged into an outlet. Disconnect power to the outlet before handling the pump or motor.

2. Check to be sure you have electrical power.

3. Check that liquid fluid levels are high enough to activate the switch or controller.

4. Check to be sure that a 1/8 in. (3.2 mm) vent hole in the discharge pipe is not plugged.

5. Check for blockage in the pump inlet, impeller, check valve or discharge pipe.

6. Thermal overload may have tripped. Test start the pump. If it starts and then stops immediately, disconnect from the power source for 30 minutes to allow the motor to cool, then reconnect to the power source. Check for cause of overheating/overloading.

The pump fails to empty sump.| 1. Be sure all valves in the discharge are fully open.

2. Clean out the discharge pipe and check valves.

3. Check for blockage in the pump inlet or impeller.

The pump will not shut off.| 1. Check the switch or controller automatic floats for proper operation and location.

2. If the pump is completely inoperative or continues to malfunction, call customer service.
