A backup system
should be used.
Call 1-800-237-0987 for backup model
number.
Installation
1. Install pump in a sump pit with
minimum size as shown below.
Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic.
2. The unit should be located and
rest on a solid, level foundation.
Do not place pump directly on clay,
earth, gravel or sandy surface. These
surfaces contain small stones, gravel,
sand, etc. that may clog or damage
the pump and cause pump failure.
Flood risk. If
flexible discharge
hose is used, make sure pump is
secured in sump pit to prevent
movement. Failure to secure pump
could allow pump movement and switch
interference and prevent pump from
starting or stopping.
3. A check valve is required in the
discharge line to prevent back-flow
when the pump shuts off. It is best
to install the check-valve directly to
the pump discharge. Thread a check
valve into the pump discharge. Non-
installation of a check valve will void
any and all warranties.

Failure to do so could cause piping to
break, pump to fail, etc. which could
result in property damage and/or
personal injury.
5. Protect electrical cord from
sharp object, hot surfaces, oil
and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cord and replace damaged cords
immediately.
6. A sump pit cover must be installed
to prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump.
Operation
the power source before
attempting to install, service,
relocate or maintain the pump.
Never touch sump pump, pump
motor, water or discharge piping when
pump is connected to electrical power.
Never handle a pump or pump motor with
wet hands or when standing on wet or
damp surface or in water. Fatal electrical
shock could occur.

is supplied with a grounding conductor
and grounding type attachment plug.
Use a grounded receptacle to reduce the
risk of fatal electrical shock.
IMPOrTaNT: Never cut off the round
grounding prong. Cutting the cord or
plug will void the warranty and make
the pump inoperable.
2. This pump is only for use on 120 Volt
(single-phase), 60 hz, 15 amp service
and is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and 3-prong, grounding type plug.
3. Insert the pump power cord plug
directly into outlet (See Figure 2).

4. Fill sump with water. The pump
will start automatically when the
water has filled the sump to a depth
of approximately 9". The pump

approximately 4". The pump will
recycle thereafter as required.
