DEWATERING AND SEWAGE

Notice to installing contractor: Instructions must remain with installation.

1.

Make sure there is a properly grounded receptacle

available. All pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding

to protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. (SEE WARNING

BELOW)

2.

Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the

pump’s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Exten-

sion cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to

the pump motor. But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if

the insulation were to become damaged or the connection end were to fall

into the sump.

3.

Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped

with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch

circuit is recommended, sized according the “National Electrical Code” for

the current shown on the pump name plate.

4.

Testing for ground. As a safety measure, each electri-

cal outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory

Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground

wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified

licensed electrician.

5.

For Added Safety. Pumping and other equipment with a

3-prong grounded plug must be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle.

For added safety the receptacle may be protected with a ground-fault circuit

interrupter. When a pump needs to be connected in a watertight junction

box, the plug can be removed and spliced to the supply cable with proper

grounding. For added safety this circuit may be protected by a ground-fault

circuit interrupter. The complete installation must comply with the National

Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

6.

Risk of electric shock. These pumps have not been

investigated for use in swimming pool and marine areas.

7.

According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product

contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

1.

Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling

the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump name

plate.

2.

The installation of automatic pumps with variable level

float switches or nonautomatic pumps using auxiliary variable level float

switches is the responsibility of the installing party and care should be taken

that the tethered float switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit

peculiarities and is secured so that the pump will shut off. It is recommended

to use rigid piping and fittings and the pit be 18" or larger in diameter.

3.

Information - vent hole purpose. It is necessary that all

submersible sump, effluent, and sewage pumps capable of handling vari-

ous sizes of solid waste be of the bottom intake design to reduce clogging

and seal failures. If a check valve is incorporated in the installation, a vent

hole (approx. 3/16") must be drilled in the discharge pipe below the check

valve and pit cover to purge the unit of trapped air. Trapped air is caused

by agitation and/or a dry basin. Vent hole should be checked periodically

for clogging. If you choose not to drill a vent hole, be sure the pump case

and impeller is covered with liquid before connecting the pipe to the check

valve and no inlet carries air to the pump intake. NOTE: THE HOLE MUST

ALSO BE BELOW THE BASIN COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY.

Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods.

NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested

to UL Standard UL778. CSA Certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard

C22.2 No. 108.

PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS

*Effluent systems should specify that pumps should not handle solids exceeding three fourths inch (¾”) in order to prevent large solids from entering leeching fields, mound systems

and etc. Where codes permit, sewage pumps can be used for effluent systems. Nonautomatic pump(s) with external level control recommended for septic tank effluent applications.
