INSTALLATION STEPS:
IMPORTANT NOTICE : Please note before you proceed with the installation of this
product that the manufacturer’s guideline has to be respected. Failure to comply may
void your warranty.
The following are minimum requirements in order to protect your residence from flooding.
It is a small investment but it is your personal responsibility to protect your home, family and
valuables. Failure to comply with the following requirements may also void your warranty:
- Two (2) pumps have to be installed in the sump pit. The first pump as a primary pump
and the second pump as the backup unit.
- Burcam alarm system model 450454 has to be installed to advise you of any malfunctions.
- As sump pumps are electrically powered and activated so to prevent flooding, a Burcam
battery powered back up pump model 300403 has to be installed to evacuate the water.
Pump selection, proper and adequate installation are a must to comply with local
by-laws and need to be adhered to.
STEP 1 We recommand that you install your pump in a clean location where there
is adequate room for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing
temperatures and good ventilation should be considered as well, to provide
the pump an environment for long life. Do not use to pump gas or toxic
fuels. This submersible sump pump is designed to pump water only.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when
the horizontal offset is greater than 50 feet. The discharge pipe should be
increased from 1 1/2” to 2”. This will reduce friction losses and allow the
pump to give maximum performance. More friction losses must also be
taken into consideration when many elbows and fittings are installed in the
discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be considered as 1 feet of head.
The float switch of your pump has been pre-set at the factory and does not
need any adjustment. Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur.
Fill pump pit or sump basin with water before turning on the power.
Friction loss
not included.
