12. A ground fault circuit is recommended for use with any
electrical appliance submerged in water. Installation and
all wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
13. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of
your equipment.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair
damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Motors can operate at
high temperatures.
16. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electric shock. If your basement has
water or moisture on floor, do not walk on wet area until
all power has been turned off. If shut-off box is in
basement, call electric company or hydro authority to
shut-off service to house, or call your local fire department
for instructions. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fatal electrical shock. Remove pump and repair or re place.
dESCRIPTION
This Submersible Sump Pump is designed for home sumps.
Unit is equipped with a 3-prong grounding-type power cord.
The permanent split capacaitor motor is oil filled and sealed for
cooler running. The sleeve bearings on the motor shaft never
need lubrication. The pump includes automatic reset thermal
protection.
Pump water only with this pump. Not designed for use as a
swimming pool drainer.
SPECIFICATIONS
Power supply required ........................................... 15V,60HZ

INSTALLATION
1.
Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter of 10"
(254mm). Sump depth should be 10" (254mm). Construct
sump pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local
codes for approved materials.
2.
Install pump in pit so that switch operating mechanism
has maximum possible clearance.
3.
Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand
surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones and gravel
which could clog pump. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
NOTICE Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on
plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics.
4.
Install discharge plumbing. When using rigid pipe, use
plastic pipe. Wrap thread PTFE pip thread sealant
tape. Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 – 1-1/2 turns.
Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid
stripping or crossing threads.
NOTICE Discharge piping should be as short as possible
to reduce pipe friction losses. Discharge pipe diameter
should be equal to or larger than discharge size of pump.
Smaller pipe diameters will restrict capacity of pump and
reduce performance. Do no use flexible discharge pipe in
any permanent installation.
Risk of flooding. Failure to secure pump
may allow pump movement, switch interference and
prevent pump from starting or stopping. If a flexible
discharge hose is used, make sure pump is secured in
sump to prevent movement.
5.
To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of
rubber hose (e.g. radiator hose) can be connected into
discharge line near pump using suitable clamps.
6.
Install an in-line check valve to prevent flow backwards
through pump when pump shuts off.
7.
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 grounding-type plugs. Switch plug
is inserted directly into outlet and pump plug inserts into
opposite end of switch plug.
Hazardous voltage. Pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such
as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway or ground wire system. Do not modify cord or
plug or cut off round ground pin.
8.
Secure discharge line before starting pump.
9.
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.
10. After piping and check valve (if needed) have been
installed, unit is ready for operation.
11. Check operation by filling sump with water and
observing pump operation through one complete cycle.
Failure to make this operational check
may lead to flooding and premature failure.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving salt
water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void warranty.
