Operation
After reading these instructions,
consider the following points before starting the pump:
1. Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the shaft,
if it is not suspended by the handle.
2. Verify that the delivery pipe is properly connected.
3. Verify that the electrical connection is
120 V~, 60 Hz, and GFCI-protected.
4. Verify that the electrical socket is in good condition.
5. Verify that water and moisture cannot
get near the power supply socket.
6. Verify that the pump is installed so
as to prevent running dry.
7. Verify that the power cords do not have
excess slack in the Sump Basin to prevent
it from interfering with the Float Switch.
Secure them to the Discharge Pipe if needed.
8. Dry the floor and your hands,
then plug the Float Switch Cord into
a grounded, GFCI-protected receptacle.
9. Plug the Pump Cord into the back of the Float Switch
Cord’s plug. The pump will then be on standby.

10. After connecting power to the pump and
periodically afterwards, test the pump:
a. Fill the basin to above the Float Switch Operation
ON Height. The pump should start pumping.
b. The pump should pump the water down
to below its Float Switch Operation OFF
Height and then stop pumping.
c. If the water drains back into the basin and
restarts the pump, make sure the check
valve is properly installed and working.
Also make sure that all pipe connections are tight.
Note: It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure the
float switch is properly connected to the pump and can
operate properly and freely without obstructions.
