7. Connect the 1-1/4” diameter Discharge Pipe to the Impeller Case (22) of the
Sump Pump. Make sure to hand tighten only. Over tightening may cause the
Impeller Case to crack. NOTE: Make sure the Discharge Pipe is secured to a
solid surface, with appropriate hardware (not included), to ensure the stability of
the Sump Pump. (See Figure D.)
8. Install a Union (not included) or other means of separating the Discharge Pipe
just above the floor to facilitate removal of the Sump Pump if necessary.
(See Figure D.)
9. NOTE: A Check Valve (not included) is recommended just above, or in place of,
the Union to prevent the backflow of water after each pump cycle. If a Check
Valve is used, a 1/8” diameter air bleed hole should be drilled through the Dis
charge Pipe just above the Impeller Case (22) to prevent pump “airlock”.
A small
spray of water out of this hole is normal while pump is running.
(See Figure D.)
10. Connect additional Discharge Pipe as needed to direct the discharge to the
desired location. The discharge should be kept as short as possible with
a minimum number of turns. NOTE: The maximum lift of the Pump is 17 feet.
11. Plug the Power Cord into the nearest 115 volt, grounded, electrical outlet while
making sure to form a “drip loop” in the Power Cord. (See Figure C.)
12. The Sump Pump is now ready for operation.
13. NOTE: Periodically, check to make sure all connections are tight and secure.
Also, make sure the Float Rod (10) moves freely.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. WARNING! Always make sure the Sump Pump is unplugged from its
electrical outlet
prior
to performing any maintenance to the unit. This Section is
designed to help identify reasons for operating problems. It is
not
a service
guide. Dismantling the Sump Pump voids warranty. Servicing of the Sump
Pump (other than simple cleaning or unplugging) should be done only by a quali-
fied service technician.
2. Pump Motor does not run.
A. Line circuit breaker may be off. Have a certified electrician check the fuse or
breaker.
Do not attempt to reduce the discharge size below 1-1/4” as this will affect Pump
flow and performance. A Schedule 40 PVC 1-1/4” diameter Pipe is recom-
mended. (See Figure D.)
