Installation
1.
This unit can be installed in sump pit with minimum
diameter of 12" (30cm) and depth of 12" (30cm). Sump
pit may be constructed of tile, concrete, steel or
plastic. Check local codes for approved materials.
2. Install pump on solid, level foundation, as near as
possible to center of sump pit. Do not hang pump from
discharge pipe or power cord.
NOTICE Pump must be level (column must be vertical)
when operating. If motor is tilted, internal start/run switch
may overheat and damage motor.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or
sand surfaces. Clean sump pit of small stones and
gravel which could clog the pump. Keep pump inlet
screen clear.
4. Thread discharge pipe into pump body carefully to
avoid stripping or crossing threads.
NOTICE Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic
pipe or pump. Pipe joint compound can attack plastics and
damage pump.
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.

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 (Key No. 6) about 6"
(16cm) below motor. Clamp guide to column with
screw provided.
Risk of flooding. 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 (Flotec No. FP0026-6D)
to prevent flow backwards through pump after pump
shuts off.
NOTICE Flotec check valve FP0026-6D 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 sudden starts. Can cause electrical
shock and personal injury. 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.
