1. Electrical wiring must be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and all other applicable state and local electrical requirements.
2. Install combination check valve and union preferably just above the sump
pit to allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.
3. Minimum pit size recommended is 18” diameter and 22” deep.
4. Locate float rod guide locator hole about midpoint of the column. Snap
float rod guide on to column at this location making sure that the nub on
the guide snaps into the hole.
5. Unscrew float from the float rod. Insert threaded end of float rod down
through eye of rod guide and screw float full back on the float rod.
6. Remove top rubber stop from float rod.
7. Pass rod through eye of pump switch.
8. Slide top rubber rod stop back onto the float rod flush with top after
passing through eye of switch. WARNING: Risk of flooding. Be sure that
float rod is vertical and can move up and down freely. If float is angled or
binds, pump may not start, allowing flooding to occur.
9. If the lower rod stop is positioned approximately 8” from the top of the rod,
the pump will automatically cycle on at a water level about 10 -12” and off
approximately. For faster cycling, move lower rod stop closer to switch
lever arm.
10. Thread pipe in discharge of pump. Use care not to cross thread or strip the
threads. Use a full-size discharge pipe.
11. Clean basin free of debris after installation.
12. Install blocks or bricks under pump to provide a settling basin.
13. Place pump in center of sump pit.
14. Securely tape or clamp power cord to discharge pipe clear of float
mechanism.
15. Check for proper ON-OFF switch operation by running water into the sump
pit.
16. All installations require a proper basin cover to prevent debris from falling
into the basin and to minimize accidental injury.
