INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Do not work on pump until power is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or use an adapter
tting.
Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord should be connected to a
separately fused, grounded line with a minimum
capacity of 15 amps. It can be connected to non-
fuse breaker at the recommended amperes.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be
certain pump source is disconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and local codes and must be
completed before priming pump. Check
appropriate community agencies, or contact
local electrical and pump professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump
should be connected to a separate 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block.
Note that plugging into existing outlets may
cause low voltage at motor. This could cause
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or
burned out motor.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump
to the grounding bar at the service panel is
mandatory. These sump pumps come with a
grounding conductor and a grounding-type
attachment plug. Do not connect pump to
a power supply until permanently grounded.
For maximum safety, connect pump to a circuit
equipped with a fault interrupter device when
positioningthepump’sgroundingwire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the
voltage of the pump.
6. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of
any water, debris or sediment.
Sump basin must be vented
in accordance with local
plumbing codes. These Sump pumps are not
designed for and CANNOT be installed in loca-
tions classied as hazardous.
7. The following may cause severe damage to
pump and will void the warranty.
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting o the ground pin or using an
adapter tting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while
plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing
impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal.
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.

8. Plastic PVC pipe can be installed in the
outlet piping. Drain hose, galvanized steel
or copper pipe may be used if desired.
All piping must be clean and free of all
foreign matter to prevent clogging.
9. Pump will be inadequate if suspension
liquids contain solid particles larger than
3/16” for EPP or 3/8” for EPC.
Verify that the voltage and
frequency of the pump shown
on the nameplate corresponds to those available on
the mains. The installer must make sure that the
electric system is grounded in accordance with code.
• For outdoor use it is necessary to use cable with
a lengthofatleast8’.Theplugandconnection
should be protected from water splashes. Before
using the pump, always inspect it visually
(especially power cable and plug)
• Do not use pump if it is damaged
• If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by an
authorized service center.
• Make sure that electric connections are protected
fromooding.Protecttheplugandthepower
cable from heat or shape edges.
The power cable must be re
placedbyqualiedpersonnel
only. Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a
double grounding contact, so that grounding can be
performed by simply inserting the plug.
This pump series has a built in thermal protection
switch. The pump stops if an overload condition
occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has
cooled down.
