Safety Information
Read these warnings carefully. Know the application and limitations of this pump. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

**** DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. For added safety, it is highly recommended to connect this pump to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet.

**** DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Disconnect and lockout power supply before removing old pump or installing or servicing this pump.

DANGER RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. The motor on this pump is not submersible. DO NOT submerge the motor or allow the motor to be exposed to water. Personal injury or death from electric shock could result.

**** WARNING This pump is designed to pump clear water. Do not use this pump to pump chemicals, flammable liquids, sewage or corrosive liquids. You could injure yourself and the pump will fail. Pumping these types of liquids voids the warranty.

****WARNING Keep all electrical connections away from wet and moist environments. Wet connections can cause electrical shock resulting in personal injury or death. Do not plug in while standing on a wet floor or in water. If the floor is wet, disconnect power to the pump before walking on floor.

**** WARNING Make certain that the electrical outlet is within the reach of the power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. More importantly, they present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the water.

**** WARNING All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Notice Make sure the sump basin is clear of rocks, sand & debris. Debris can damage or clog the pump which could result in flooding.

WARNING Do not use this pump for potable/drinking water. Use only in applications for which the pump is designed for.
WARNING DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances

**** CAUTION Do not handle this pump with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp surfaces or in water

CAUTION This pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
CAUTION If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump is secured in the basin to prevent movement. Failure to secure the pump could result in flooding from switch malfunction.

Assembly

FLOAT ASSEMBLY

Insert the float rod through the hole in the switch arm.
Push rubber grommet onto the float rod. NOTE: If necessary, use liquid soap to aid in the installation of the grommet.
Attach float rod guide to the pump column (models 92333 & 92553). On models 92301 & 92551 attach the float road guide to the column but do not fully tighten the fastener at this time.
Insert the float rod through the float rod guide making sure the float rod is completely vertical and moves up and down freely
Thread the float ball onto the float rod. If necessary, hold the float rod with pliers to prevent the float rod from turning.
Once float rod is aligned, secure the float rod guide to the column by completely tightening the fastener. (Models 92301 & 92551 only).

Installation

Place the pump on a solid, level surface in the basin. Use bricks or blocks to raise the pump off the bottom surface. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand, silt or on rocky surfaces as these materials can clog or cause damage the pump. Do not lower the pump into the basin by the power cord or discharge pipe.
Position the pump in the basin (D) making sure that the float ball can move up and down freely without coming in contact with the sides of the basin.
Connect the discharge pipe (B) to the pump discharge.
NOTE: If using flexible discharge hose make sure the pump is secure to prevent pump movement and possible interference with the float. 4.
Connect a check valve (C) (sold separately) to the discharge pipe. Make sure the check valve is installed in the correct direction of flow.
Connect remaining pipe to the pump. Ensure that the piping will carry the water away from the outside of the foundation.
A sump basin cover should be installed to prevent debris from falling into the basin.

Operation

Plug the power cord into a 120 volt grounded outlet. The use of a GFCI is strongly recommended.
Test your installation by filling the basin with water. Observe the float through at least one complete cycle to ensure it operates freely and does not contact the sides of the basin. If necessary, reposition the pump to ensure proper operation. Make any necessary adjustments to the grommet at this time to adjust the pumping level.
Your pump motor is thermally protected. The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an overheat situation. The pump will reset itself once the pump cools down. This overload is designed as a safety device and it will fail after repeated use

Maintenance

**** DANGER

Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.
**** WARNING All repairs must be made by an authorized service center.

There are no serviceable parts inside the motor. Do not disassemble the motor. If service is required, contact a qualified technician.
Periodically check the pump intake for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
Inspect the impeller for signs of wear and obstructions.
Inspect the power cord for signs of damage or wear. Do not operate the pump if the cord is damaged or worn.
In applications where the pump may not activate for extended periods of time, it is recommended to cycle the pump at least once per month to ensure the pumping system is working properly when needed.

Performance
Height and/or piping restriction will reduce the pump output performance. See the performance chart below to ensure the pump will work in your application. Whenever possible use the same size or larger pipe as the pump discharge for optimum performance. Reducing the pipe size will not harm your pump; it will just reduce the output.
