Installation
In any
installation where property damage
and/or personal injury might result
from an inoperative or leaking pump
due to power outages, discharge line
blockage or any other reason, use a
backup system(s).
1. Thread the discharge pipe or pipe
nipple into the discharge
connection.
2. If a check valve is used, mount the
check valve in a horizontal position
or at a 45° angle with the valve
pivot on top. In a vertical position,
solids will tend to lodge on the
valve flapper and can prevent it
from opening.
3. Drill a 1/16" hole in the discharge
pipe approximately 1" to 2” above
the pump discharge when a check
valve is used. The hole prevents air
locking of the pump at the initial
start-up and if it should lose prime.
4. A gate valve should be installed in
the system after the check valve.
This gate valve should be a full port
valve which will pass 1/2" solids or
as required by state and local
codes. This gate valve permits
removal of the pump and/or check
valve for servicing.
5. A union should be installed
between the check valve and the
pump so the pump can be removed
with least disturbance of the
piping.
6. If the pump has a detachable
mechanical float switch with a
piggyback-style plug, the length of
the tether (distance of cord from
float to clamp) should not be set
shorter than 3-1/4" and should not
be used in a basin smaller than 14"
in diameter. If using a differential
other than the factory setting, be
sure when the pump shuts off at
least 4” of fluid is left in the basin
so the impeller remains submerged.
7. When a mechanical float switch is
used, rigid discharge pipe is
required. If the pump is allowed to
move, the mechanical float switch
could be restricted by the basin
wall, preventing the pump from
operating.
Before
removing
pump from basin for service, always
disconnect electrical power to pump
and control switch. For any work on
pump or switch, ALWAYS unplug the
power cord. Do not just turn off circuit
breaker or unscrew fuse.
Maintenance
Make
certain
that the pump is unplugged before
attempting to service or remove any
component. This pump is assembled in
the factory using special equipment;
therefore only authorized service
dealers or qualified electricians should
attempt to repair this unit. Improper
repair can cause an electrical shock
hazard.
The pump
contains
oil that may be under pressure because
of heat. Let the pump cool for a
minimum of two hours before servicing
this unit.
1. Disassembly of the motor prior to
expiration of warranty will void the
warranty. It might also cause
internal leakage and damage to
the unit. If repairs are required,
return the pump to the dealer from
whom it was purchased or call 1-
888-636-6628. If motor is ever
disassembled the O-rings must be
replaced. Care must be taken to
ensure that all seals do not leak.
2. After the basin cover is removed
and necessary discharge piping
disconnected, lift pump from basin.
3. Pump should be checked on a
regular basis for proper operation.
If anything has changed since unit
was new, the unit should be
removed and repaired or replaced.
Only qualified electricians or service
people should attempt to repair
this unit. Improper repair and/or
assembly can cause an electrical
shock hazard.
4. Place the pump in a suitable area
where it can be cleaned
thoroughly. Remove all scale and
deposits on pump.
5. Submerge the complete pump in a
disinfectant solution (10% chlorine
bleach solution) for at least one
hour before handling the pump.
6. Clean all dirt and deposits from the
pump float. Make sure float moves
freely after cleaning.
7. Clean all dirt and deposits away
from pump inlet and volute.
