INSTALLATION MANUAL
9. Install a union to allow for easy removal of the pump for
cleaning or service.
10. Install a check valve (required) to prevent back-fl ow. The
check valve may be positioned just above the basin to
allow easy removal of the pump for cleaning and service.
11. Install a gate valve or ball valve if required by local,
regional or state code.
12. Secure power supply cord to discharge pipe using cable
or zip ties to prevent possible switch entanglement.
13. Connect pump power supply cord to a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle.
14. Fill the basin with water. The pump will start when the
water level has reached the switch-on level.
15. The pump will stop when the water level has reached the
switch-off level.
16. Verify the switch is operating without any obstruction
from the pump, piping and basin.
17. Fill the basin with water again. While the pump
is draining the basin, verify the discharge pipe is
carrying the water to a point at least 3 ft. away from
the foundation. If the discharge line is exposed to
freezing temperatures, the pipe must be positioned in
a downward slope away from the foundation so any
remaining water will drain away and not freeze.
18. Secure the basin cover and gasket to the basin to
prevent debris from falling into the basin, prevent
personal injury, and to contain gases and/or odors.

TYPICAL SUMP INSTALLATION
1. This installation must be in accordance with the National
Electric Code and all applicable local codes and
ordinances.
2. Use a basin that is large enough to accommodate the pump.
The minimum requirements for the sump pumps are:

3. Clean the basin of all debris.
4. Assemble switch or fl oat if needed. Refer to warranty
and service parts sheet for specifi c directions.
5. Set the pump on a solid, level surface. Do not place pump
directly on clay, earth, gravel or sand. A brick or block may
be installed under the pump to provide a solid base.
6. Position pump so the switch is away from the inlet so
switch is clear from incoming water. Verify the switch
has at least 1 in. clearance to the side wall of the
basin and is free to move throughout its movement. If
optional control device or fl oat is used, follow mounting
instruction supplied with device or fl oat.
7. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional
and state codes. Rigid PVC pipe is recommended.
8. If required, drill 1/8 in. “weep” hole in the discharge pipe
1 in. above the pump discharge. Water stream will be
visible from the hole when the pump is running. The hole
must be cleaned periodically.
