4. Place the pump in the sump; make sure that
nothing interferes with switch operation.
5. Finish installing the necessary plumbing. Follow
the glue manufacturer’s instructions for safety
precautions and curing time.
Risk of flooding. Make sure the pump
cannot move in the sump. If the pump moves when it
runs, the piping or sump wall may interfere with the
switch and prevent the pump from starting or stopping.
6A. Power Supply: This pump requires a 115V., 60 Hz.,
15 amp individual branch circuit. The circuit must
be grounded and should be dedicated to the
sump pump..
6B. The pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with
grounding-type plug. Plug the switch directly into
the outlet and plug the pump into the switch’s plug.
Electrical shock hazard. Always
ground the pump to a suitable electrical ground,
such as a grounded water pipe, a properly
grounded metallic raceway, or a ground wire
system. Do not cut off the round ground pin.
7A. After you have installed the piping, check valve,
and float switch, the pump is ready for operation.
7B. Check the pump by filling the sump with water and
observing the pump’s operation through one
complete cycle. For switch settings see the
Electrical and Switch Specifications chart on Page
7.
Failure to make this operational
check may lead to improper operation, premature
failure, and flooding.
THE INTELLISHIELD SWITCH
NOTE: Keep the IntelliShield control box dry at all
times. Do not connect it to an extension cord or let
it get into the sump pit.
The Intellishield switch consists of three stainless
steel rods (probes) mounted vertically on the side of
the pump . These are the OFF, ON, and GROUND
probes (see Figure 9).
Normal Operation
When the water level rises to the level of the ON
probe (the short stainless rod), the pump starts. As
the pump runs, the water level drops. When it drops
below the tip of the OFF probe (the long stainless rod
