SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
This fine pump that you have just purchased is
designed from the latest in material and workmanship.
Before installation and operation, we recommend the
following procedures:
Check with your local electrical and plumbing codes
to ensure you comply with the regulations. These
codes have been designed with your safety in mind.
Be sure you comply with them.
We recommend that a separate circuit be lead
from the home electrical distribution panel properly
protected with a fuse or a circuit breaker. We also
recommend that a ground fault circuit be used.
Consult a licensed electrician for all wiring.
The ground terminal on the three prong plugs should
never be removed. They are supplied and designed
for your protection.
Never make adjustments to any electrical appliance
or product with the power connected. Do not only
unscrew the fuse or trip the breaker, remove the
power plug from the receptacle.
Assuming that you have a sump pit located in your
basement floor... Your sump pit must be constructed
from concrete, brick, tile or more recently a sump
basin made from plastic and/or fiberglass. The
minimum size of your sump pit MUST be 18” in
diameter and no less than 25” deep. When pit is
ready, proceed to next step.
MONTHLY MANDATORY
CHECK-UP :
1. Inspect the pump and the sump for any obvious
condition that necessitates cleaning, correction,
adjustement or repair.
2. Clear the sump and the surroundings of any paper, leaves
or other debris that might clog the input openings. Remove
anything that might float into the sump.
3. Assure that the pump is secure and vertical for proper
operation.
4. Assure that there is adequate clearance from any
combustible materials or structure. Stored materials must
be kept away from the pump. Shelves or cabinet structures
must not be in close proximity over the pump.
5. Assure that the motor is securely plugged into a proper
GFCI electrical outlet.
6. Test the ‘GFCI’ outlet by pressing its test switch. This should
prove that the outlet is energized and will trip off to protect
against a ground fault. Be sure to reset the ‘GFCI’ by
pressing its reset switch.
7. Lift the float to prove that the pump will start when required.
(Step 8 below will test submersible pumps with enclosed
floats).
8. Put a pail of water (8 liters) in the sump to prove that any
check valve present will permit effluent to flow.
9. Observe that the plumbing can carry the effluent safely out
of the residence.
