PRE INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
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 is the responsibility of the installing
party and care should be taken that the tethered float
switch will not hang up on the pumping 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. Vent hole purpose. It is advisable that all submersible
sump pumps 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 bottom intake unit of trapped
air. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/or a dry
basin. This vent hole should be checked periodically
for clogging. Water stream will be visible from this hole
during pump run periods.
4. Maximum continuous operating water temperature for
standard model pumps must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
Note: Pumps with the "cCSAus" mark are tested to UL Stan-
dard UL778 & CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108.

Product information presented
here reflects conditions at time
of publication. Consult fac-
tory regarding discrepancies or
inconsistencies.
1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer
before using. Do Not remove the test plug in the cover.
2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use.
These materials should be retained for future reference.
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit
protected by a ground-fault circuit-interruptor (GFCI). All
pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to
help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.
2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the
reach of the pump’s power supply cord DO NOT USE AN
EXTENSION CORD. Extension 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
ends were to fall into the basin and become wet.
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
electrical 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. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware
should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician.
6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.
7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to
help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE
GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a
mating 3-prong fault interrupter receptacle. If the installation
does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the
proper type, wired, and grounded in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
8. Risk of electric shock. This pump has not been investigated
for use in swimming pool or marine areas.
9. 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.
