DESCRIPTION
This submersible sump pump is designed for home sumps. Unit is equipped with a 3-prong
grounding-type power cord. Shaded – pole motor is oil filled and sealed for cooler running. Sleeve
bearings on motor shaft never need lubrication. Automatic reset thermal protection. Not designed for
use a swimming pool drainer.
NOTICE: Do not reduce size of discharge pipe or hose below1-1/4” diameter. If discharge is too small,
pump will overheat and fail prematurely.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or
brine will void warranty.
Pump water only with this pump.
Do not use where water recirculates.
Not designed for use as a swimming pool.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Electricity powered sump pumps normally give many years of trouble- free service when correctly
installed, maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances (interruption of power to the pump,
dirt/ debris in the sump, flooding that exceeds the
pump’s capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in

SPECIFICATIONS AND SAFETY
the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from functioning normally. To prevent possible water damage
due to flooding, consult your retailer about a secondary AC sump pump, a CD backup sump pump, and/
or a high water alarm. See the “ Trouble shooting Chart” in this manual for information about common
sump pump problems and remedies.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Do not use in water with fish present.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly
causing personal injury and/ or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are
secure.
8. Periodically inspect sump, pump and system components. Keep free of debris and foreign
objects .Perform routine maintenances
as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief for pumps whose
discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
10. Personal safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered ad properly lighted – replace all unused tools and
equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.
d. Make workshop child – proof – with padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety codes that apply.
12. This equipment us only for use on 115 volt ( single phase ) and is equipped with an approved 3 –
conductor cord and 3 – prong, grounding – type plug.
To reduce risk of electric
shock, pull plug before servicing. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool area. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding – type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding – type
receptacle.
Where a 2 – prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced with properly grounded 3 – prong
receptacle installed in accordance with codes and ordinances that apply.
13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
14. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
15. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can operate at high temperatures.
17. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet damp surface or in
water.
Hazardous voltage can shock, burn or kill. If you basement has water or
moisture on floor, do not walk on wet area until all
power has been turned off. If shut – off box is
basement, call electric company or hydro authority to
shut – off service to house, or call your local
fire department for instructions. Remove pump and r
epair or replace. Failure to follow this warning
can result in fatal electrical shock.
Do not lift pump by power cord.

SPECIFICATIONS AND SAFETY
FLOAT SWITCH INSTALLATION
Models equipped with vertical switches require some assembly. See the Switch Assembly instructions
on Page4. Models with tethered float switches are ready for use.
INSTRUCTION
1. Install pump in sump pit with minimum diameter of 10” (254mm) for models equipped with
vertical switches and 14” (356mm) for tethered float switch models. Sump depth should be 16”
(406mm) for tethered models and 10” (254mm) for vertically switched models. Construct sump
pit of tile, concrete, steel or plastic. Check local codes for approved materials and for proper
installation.
2. Install pump in pit so that switch operating mechanism has maximum possible clearance.
3. Pump should not be installed on clay, earth or sand surface. Clean sump pit of small stones and
gravel which could clog pump. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
NOTICE: Do not use ordinary pipe joint compound on plastic pipe. Pipe joint compound can
attack plastics.
4. Install discharge plumbing
. Use rigid plastic pipe and wrap threads with Teflon™ tape. Screw
pipe into pump hand tight plus 1-1/2 turns.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hos
e is used, make sure pump is secured in
sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure pump may allow pump movement, switch
interference and prevent pump from starting or stopping.
5. To reduce motor noise and vibrations, a short length of rubber hose (1-7/8" (47.6mm) I.D., e.g.
radiator hose) can be connected into discharge line near pump using suitable clamps.
6. Install an in-line check valve (Flotec No. FP0026- 10D) or an in-pump check valve to prevent
flow backwards through pump when pump shuts off.
NOTICE: If your check valve is not equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent air locking pump, drill a
1/8" (3.2 mm) hole in discharge pipe just above where the discharge pipe screws into the
pump
discharge. Be sure the hole is below the waterline and the check valve to prevent air locks.
7. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V.
60 Hz operation and requires a minimum 15 amp
individual branch circuit. Both pump and switch are supplied with 3-wire cord sets with
grounding-type plugs. Switch plug is inserted directly into outlet and pump plug inserts into
opposite end of switch plug.
Pump should always be electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a
grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system.
Do not cut off round ground pin.
8. If pump discharge line is exposed to outside subfreezing atmosphere, portion of line exposed must
be installed so any water remaining in pipe will drain to the outfall by gravity. Failure to do this can
cause water trapped in discharge to freeze which could result in damage to pump.
9. After piping, check valve and float switch have been installed, the unit is ready for operation.
10. Check the pump operation by filling sump wi
th water and observing pump operation through one,
complete cycle. For switch settings see the Electrical and Switch Specifications chart on Page 2.
Failure to make this operational check may lead to improper operation, premature
failure, and flooding.

OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
1. Shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate pump unless it is submerged in
water as seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2. Motor is equipped with automatic reset thermal protector. If temperature in motor should
rise unduly, switch will cut off all power before damage can be done to motor. When motor
has cooled sufficiently, switch will reset automatically and restart motor. If protector trips
repeatedly, pump
should be removed and checked as to cause of difficulty. Low voltage,
long extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, or a plugged or frozen
WARNING
3. Pump will not remove all water. If operating a pump manually, and suddenly no water
comes out of the discharge hose, shut off the unit immediately. The water level is
probably very low and the unit has broken prime.
Risk of electric shock . Before attempting to check why unit has stopped
operating, disconnect power from unit.
