4. Place the pump in the sump; make sure that
nothing interferes with switch operation.
5. Finish installing the necessary plumbing. Follow
the glue manufacturer’s instructions for safety
precautions and curing time.
Risk of flooding. Make sure the pump can-
not move in the sump. If the pump moves when it runs,
the piping or sump wall may interfere with the switch
and prevent the pump from starting or stopping.
6A. Power Supply: This pump requires a 115V., 60
Hz., 15 amp individual branch circuit. The circuit
must be grounded and should be dedicated to
the sump pump..
6B. The pump is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with
grounding-type plug. Plug the switch directly into
the outlet and plug the pump into the switch’s plug.
Electrical shock hazard. Always
ground the pump to a suitable electrical ground,
such as a grounded water pipe, a properly ground-
ed metallic raceway, or a ground wire system. Do
not cut off the round ground pin.
7A. After you have installed the piping, check valve,
and float switch, the pump is ready for operation.
7B. Check the pump by filling the sump with water and
observing the pump’s operation through one com-
plete cycle. For switch settings see the Electrical
and Switch Specifications chart on Page 7.
Failure to make this operational
check may lead to improper operation, premature
failure, and flooding.
THE INTELLISHIELD SWITCH
The Intellishield switch consists of three stainless
steel rods (probes) mounted vertically on the side of
the pump . These are the OFF, ON, and GROUND
probes (see Figure 9).
Normal Operation
When the water level rises to the level of the ON
probe (the short stainless rod), the pump starts. As
the pump runs, the water level drops. When it drops
below the tip of the OFF probe (the long stainless rod
with the long plastic sleeve), the pump stops.
