do not use the pump. The power cord or plug
may only be repaired by a certied electrician.
Areas of use
This pump is designed to pump domestic
sewage, efuent, wastewater, groundwater
and other nonexplosive, noncorrosive
liquids with up to 2" solids.
Installation Instructions
1. Construct a basin that is at least 30" deep
and at least 18″ in diameter.

Switch is away from the inlet pipe and at least 1"
away from all obstructions throughout its movement.

Fit a sewage cover with a vent pipe, a hole for
the output pipe, and a hole for the power cords.
Thread the Power Cords through, but do not plug
them in. Set the sewage cover aside for now.
Note: The sewage cover must also
be tted with a vent pipe.
4. Attach a discharge pipe to the Pump Outlet.
Note: Wrap all threaded connections
with PTFE thread seal tape.

Discharge
Pipe
To prevent needless cycling, install a check valve
onto the discharge pipe. This prevents water from
owing back after the pump shuts off. Mount the
check valve at a 45º angle with the valve pivot
on top to avoid the valve apper getting stuck.
6. IMPORTANT: Drill a
1
/
8
" diameter air bleed hole
through the Discharge Pipe just above the lower Base
to prevent Pump “airlock”. A small spray of water
out of this hole is normal while the Pump is running.
7. Install a gate valve or ball valve if
required by building codes.
8. Connect additional Discharge Pipe as needed to
direct the discharge to the main waste line for the
sewer or septic tank. The discharge should be kept
as short as possible with a minimum number of turns.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the
Maximum Delivery Height of the Pump.
