We recommend 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.
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.

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.
