Installation
WARNING: Always disconnect the power source before
attempting to install, service or perform maintenance on the
pump. Failure to do so may result in fatal electrical shock.
NOTICE: Your pump is designed and built to give you reliable
performance and long life. It will pump water automatically for
years when properly installed in the right environment.
NOTICE: A qualified electrician must perform all wiring.
Remove old pump (if necessary):
1. Make sure power supply is disconnected.
2. After power is off, remove the old pump. When you are
installing a new pump, this is a good time to inspect and
replace any damaged piping. Be sure to clean all debris
and dirt out of the sump basin before installing your new
pump.
Install new pump:
1. Set your new pump in the bottom of the sump basin.
The pump should be placed on a solid foundation. Do
not place the pump directly on the ground or on sandy
or rocky surfaces. Sand/silt and small stones may clog or
cause damage to your pump.
2. Make sure the float switch operates freely from the
bottom to top without coming in contact with the side
of the sump basin. Contact with the side of the sump
basin may cause the float to malfunction and the pump
will not operate as intended.
3. It is highly recommended to install a full flow, swing-type
check valve (Included only on model DWXP62389) in the
discharge line. For ease of future removal or maintenance
it is recommended to install the check valve above the
cover of the sump basin. A new check valve will greatly
increase the life of your pump. The check valve should be
the same size as the pump discharge.
4. Connect the pump and check valve together using
PVC or ABS pipe and fittings. Corrugated drain hose is
intended for temporary use and should not be used in a
permanent installation. Although there are many types
of pipe that work adequately for this installation, PVC or
ABS is recommended.

1. Test your installation after you have completed setting
up the pump. Insert switch piggyback plug into outlet.
Then, plug the pump into the piggy-back plug as show
in Figure 2. The pump should not run at this point. If the
pump runs, the switch is stuck in the upright position
or the pump is plugged directly into the outlet and not
through the piggyback switch plug. Fill the sump basin
with water using buckets or a hose. When the switch
floats to the upright position, the pump will turn on.
The switch will turn off the pump when it reaches the
down position. Remember the switch must move freely
without touching the sides of the sump basin.
