Take hold of these

handles and lift the

strainer upward out

of the basin.

A. For automatic operation, the two cords should be

interconnected and plugged (see fig. 6) into a separately

fused, grounded outlet of proper amp capacity for your

selected pump model (see Section 1, General

Information, or the pump nameplate for electrical

specifications of your model.) Both cords are equipped

with 3-prong plugs and must be plugged into a properly

grounded 3-wire receptacle.

DO NOT REMOVE GROUND PRONGS FROM ATTACHMENT PLUGS.

B. Pump and alarm switch

levels are preset at the factory. If

for any reason the switch levels change, please refer to fig.

7 for proper re-adjustment of the switch. It is

recommended that the system be disconnected from the

power source and the switch be removed to perform this

operation. Periodically check the condition of the switches

to ensure proper operation by removing debris or build up

that would render the switch inoperable.

C. To clean the strainer basket, loosen the two wing bolts and

remove the access cover. Lift up on the two handles (see

fig.8) and remove the strainer basket. Caution: water will

continue to drip from strainer after removal. Clean the

basket by dumping the debris and rinsing. Reinstall the

strainer basket as soon as possible to prevent debris from

entering the tank. Reinstall the access cover. It is strongly

recommended that this be done frequently during new

home construction and every 6 months thereafter or as

needed.

D. To remove a switch, open the access cover and remove the

strainer basket. Remove the appropriate cord grommet on

the secure cover and pull the switch cord through the open

hole. Remove switch bracket using a 7/16” socket or nut

driver (see Figure 10). The switch can now be lifted from its

pocket and be serviced or replaced. To reinstall a switch,

place it back into the float pocket. Route the switch cord

around the internal inlet hub (see fig. 9). The switch cord

should not interfere with filter tray operation. Pull the end of

the switch cord through the grommet hole in the cover and

reinstall the cord grommet.

E. To reinstall a switch,

place it back into the float pocket. Route

the switch cord around the internal inlet hub (see Figure 9).

The switch cord should not interfere with filter tray operation.

Secure switch with switch bracket using a 7/16” socket or nut

driver (see Figure 10). Pull the end of the switch cord through

the grommet hole in the cover and reinstall the cord grommet.
