LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL
YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY
INFORMATION. FAILURE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
DO NOT USE TO PUMP FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS
SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC. DO NOT USE
IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. PUMP SHOULD BE USED WITH
LIQUIDS COMPATIBLE WITH PUMP COMPONENT MATERIALS.
DO NOT HANDLE PUMP WITH WET HANDS OR WHEN
STANDING ON A WET OR DAMP SURFACE, OR IN WATER.
THIS PUMP IS SUPPLIED WITH A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR
AND/OR GROUNDING TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. TO REDUCE
THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, BE CERTAIN THAT IT IS
CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED GROUNDING
TYPE RECEPTACLE.
IN ANY INSTALLATIONS WHERE PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR
PERSONAL INJURY MIGHT RESULT FROM AN INOPERATIVE OR
LEAKING PUMP DUE TO POWER OUTAGES, DISCHARGE LINE
BLOCKAGE, OR ANY OTHER REASON, A BACKUP SYSTEM(S)
AND/OR ALARM SHOULD BE USED.
SUPPORT PUMP AND PIPING WHEN ASSEMBLING AND WHEN
INSTALLED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE PIPING TO BREAK,
PUMP TO FAIL, MOTOR BEARING FAILURES ETC.
INSTALLATION
1. Before installing pump, allow air conditioner to cycle
several times, collecting condensate in a separate container
to help flush any residual oils that may remain in the system.
2. Carefully unpack the pump. Remove the cardboard insert
(Figure 1) from the motor cover air slots by carefully pulling
it away from the pump. This insert is used to prevent switch
movement during shipment.
NOTE: The pump will not operate with the insert in place.

TO COMPLY WITH THESE
3. The tank has two
slots provided to
mount the unit. The
slots are located on
the ends of the tank
(Figure 2). The unit
should be mounted
either on the side of
the air conditioner
unit or nearby wall.
Pump must be level
and the inlet must be
below the coil drain.
Conduit fittings are
not compatible with
the plastic pump housing.
Figure 2.
4. Run flexible tubing or pipe from evaporator drain into one of
the three pump inlets. Be sure inlet piping is sloped downward
to allow gravity flow (Figure 3). Extend the inlet piping into the
tank from 1 to 3 inches to ensure that it will not interfere with
proper float operation. Be sure that the inlet piping is cut at an
angle where it enters the tank.
Figure 3.
5. The outlet piping should be flexible tubing secured with a hose
clamp (not provided) or pipe (3/8 inch I.D. maximum to prevent
excessive flow back to unit). From condensate unit, extend
discharge piping straight up as high as necessary. Do not
extend this line above the head/GPH of the particular model
being installed. From this high point, slope discharge line
down slightly to a point above drain area; then turn down and
extend to a point below or approximately level with the bottom
Figure 1.
