Installation / Operation

INSTALLATION

Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. Do
not lift pump by power cord. See "Lifting Pump" and
Figure 1.
NOTE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,
asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay, or
gravel surfaces. Basin must be at least 18" in diameter and
30" deep.
Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. Do
not lift pump by power cord.
Lifting Pump
1. Use handle on top of pump for all lifting/lowering of
pump. Disconnect power to pump before doing any
work on pump or attempting to remove pump from
sump.
2. Attempting to lift or support pump by power cord can
damage cord and cord connections.
3. Cord may pull apart, exposing bare wires with possibil-
ity of fire or electrical shock.
4. Lifting or supporting pump by power cord will void

warranty.

Piping
Piping must not be smaller than pump discharge.
The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids
present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minimum flow
requirements of 2 feet per second (61 cm/sec) in discharge
line, size pipe as follows:
TABLE I
For A Pipe
Size of:
2" (51mm)
2-1/2" (64 mm)
3" (76mm)
For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at
Minimum
Flow Rate is:
21 GPM (79.5 L/M)
30 GPM (113.5 L/M)
48 GPM (182 L/M)
Use a 2" (51 mm) minimum check valve in pump dis-
charge to prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin. The
check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily
pass solids. Be sure check valve installation complies with
local codes.
NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when han-
dling solids, do not install it with discharge more than 45°
above the horizontal. Do not install check valve in a verti-
cal position as solids may settle in valve and prevent open-
ing on startup.
Drill a 3/16" (5 mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1 to 2"
(25-50 mm) above pump discharge connection (but below
check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.
ELECTRICAL
Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure that
power supply information (Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump
motor nameplate matches incoming power supply exactly.
Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death. When installing, operating, or servicing this
pump, follow safety instructions below.
1. DO NOT splice the power cord, submerge electrical
cord plug, or use extension cords.
2. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is connected
to power supply.
3. DO NOT operate pump unless it is properly grounded.
Power cord is a 3-wire conductor with 3-prong ground-
ing-type plug. Do not modify cord or plug. When using
with plug-in receptacle, plug pump into a 3-wire,
grounded, grounding-type receptacle only. Connect
pump according to all applicable codes.
For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into an auto-
matic float switch or pump controller. For continuous oper-
ation, plug directly into an electrical outlet or wire directly
into switch box. Connect pump to its own individual
branch circuit with nothing else on the circuit. For fuse/cir-
cuit breaker requirements see "Specifications" on Page 1.

OPERATION

In single-phase units, an automatic overload protector in
the motor will protect motor from burning out due to over-
heating/overloading. When motor cools down, protector
automatically resets and starts motor.
If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be a
stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure in
motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,
have it serviced by a competent repairman.
NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will
void the warranty and may damage the pump.
Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is
required.
