Operation
4. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V., 60
Hz., operation and requires a minimum 15 amp
individual branch circuit. Both pump and switch
are supplied with 3-wire cord sets with ground-
ing-type plugs. Switch plug is inserted directly
into outlet and pump plug inserts into opposite
end of switch plug.
Pump should always be elec-
able electrical ground such as a grounded
water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off
round ground pin.
5. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside sub-
freezing atmosphere, portion of line exposed
must be installed so any water remaining in pipe
will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do
this can cause water trapped in discharge to
freeze which could result in damage to pump.
6. After piping, check valve and float switch have
been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
