ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS continued
Completing the Installation
1. After the initial installation, be sure to check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and
observing the pump through one full cycle. The pump should run for 10 seconds after the lower
float drops. Note: When the pump activates, it should have a "normal pumping" sound. Any
abnormal sound, vibration, or lack of output is the signal of a problem. Stop the pump and refer
to the troubleshooting guide.
2. Replace the pit cover making sure not to pinch or crimp the pump wire with the cover. The pit
cover either has a 'hole punch' that will allow the cord to be passed through or one can be drilled
in the cover.

PRODUCT OPERATION

Dual Float Switch
The dual float switch contains two large floating rings enclosed within a protective
cage. Water will lift the bottom float by a 1/4 in., which will activate the pump. If for
any reason the lower float does not activate the pump, the water will rise and
activate the second switch. As the pump evacuates the water from the pit the floats
will drop. The pump will run for an additional 10 seconds to extend the cycle after
the lower float drops. Note: When mounting the float switch, position the bottom of
the cage at the height you want the pump to activate.
Dual Float Controller
The Dual Float Controller will activate the pump when either float is lifted,
and then shuts off automatically 10 seconds after the float drops.
Plug the pump cord into the piggyback switch on the control unit.
Operating the Pump in a Continuous Duty Application
The Utilitech pump is rated for continuous duty and may be used in applications
requiring continuous pumping including fountains, ponds, etc. For use in any continuous duty
application the pump should be plugged directly into the wall outlet without the use of the controller.
The outlet must be a single phase properly grounded 3-prong receptacle, 115V, 60HZ (preferably
with ground fault circuit interrupt). For continuous duty operation, the pump must be submerged at
least 3/4 of the depth of the pump at all times.
