Installation • Operation
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short
length of rubber hose (1-5/8" (41mm) I.D., e.g.
radiator hose) can be connected into discharge
line near pump using suitable clamps.
Pump can tip over so be sure to secure it to
something solid.
Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. Pump is designed for
115V., 60 HZ operation and requires an
individual branch circuit of 15 amperes
capacity. It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set
with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire,
grounded outlet. Do not cut off the round
grounding prong. For safety, outlet must 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.
6. Locate Float Rod Guide (Ref. 7, Repair Parts)
about 6" (16cm) below motor. Clamp guide to
column with screw provided.
Risk of flooding . Can cause
personal injury and/or property damage.
Be sure that guide is securely clamped so
that float rod is vertical and can move up and
down freely. If float is angled or binds, pump
may not start, allowing flooding to occur.
7. Screw float onto threaded end of rod.
Threads on rod will cut threads into corrosion
resistant float.
8. Insert plain end of float rod up through eye of
rod guide.
9. Slide one rod stop on float rod before passing
rod through eye of pump switch. Slide 2nd rod
stop on rod after passing through eye of switch.
Position 2nd rod stop flush with top of rod.
10. Position lower rod stop to within 8"(20cm)
of switch lever arm. With lower rod stop in
this position, pump will automatically cycle
at approximately 2-1/2" (6cm) off and 10-12"
(25-30cm) on. For faster cycling, move lower
rod stop closer to switch lever arm.
11. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside
subfreezing atmosphere, then portion of
line exposed must be installed so any water
remaining in pipe will drain to outfall by
gravity. Failure to do this can cause water
trapped in discharge to freeze which could
result in damage to pump.
12. Install an in-line check valve (part number
FP0026-10) to prevent flow backwards through
pump after pump shuts off.
NOTICE Check valve FP0026-6D (used with
flexible discharge hose) is equipped with an air
bleed hole to prevent airlocking the pump. If
using a check valve without an air bleed hole,
drill a 1/8" (3.2mm) hole in discharge pipe just
above pump body but below the check valve
to prevent air locks.
13. After all piping and controls have been
installed, unit is ready for operation.
14. Run pump through one cycle to check float
switch operation.
Risk of burns and possible
unexpected starts . The pump motor is
equipped with automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly.
Protector tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating pump
at low heads (low discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage, inadequate
wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor.
Operation
Risk of burns . Do not touch
sump pump, pump motor, water, or discharge
piping when pump is connected to electrical
power. Always disconnect pump cord (power)
before handling.
1. Plug this unit into a 115V outlet, on an
individual branch circuit, with a Class
A, 15 amp GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter). Consult your local electrician for
information and availability.
2. Fill sump pit with water, pump will start
automatically when lower rod stop actuates
switch lever arm. When upper rod stop
actuates switch lever arm, pump will stop.
Do not allow pump to run dry .
Risk of electric shock . Can
shock, burn or kill. Before attempting to
service, always disconnect power from unit.
3. The motor is equipped with an automatic
reset thermal protector to protect unit
from overheating. When motor has cooled
sufficiently, switch will reset automatically
and restart motor. Repeated tripping could
be caused by low voltage, long extension
cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift,
etc. Cycling of protector will cause eventual
motor burnout.
