INSTALLATION MANUAL
CAUTION INDICATES A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION
WHICH, IF NOT AVOIDED, MAY RESULT IN MINOR OR MODERATE
INJURY.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF HAZARDS THAT CAN CAUSE
INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS:
IF THIS PUMP CONTAINS A SWITCH FOR AUTOMATIC OPERATION, IT
IS THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THE SWITCH IS
ABLE TO OPERATE WITHOUT ANY OBSTRUCTIONS WITHIN THE BASIN.
It is recommended that the installer test and observe the pump’s
operation for several cycles after installation.
IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE RIGID PIPING AND FITTINGS to secure
the pump in the basin and reduce pump movement. Pump
movement can prevent the switch from operating correctly.
THIS PUMP SHOULD BE INSPECTED 3 TO 4 TIMES PER YEAR for pump
movement or buildup of debris on the switch or float. Reposition
pump if it has moved. Remove any debris that could interfere with
the operation of the switch.

IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE A CHECK VALVE with this pump to
prevent the back-flow of fluid after each pump cycle.
DO NOT INSTALL OR OPERATE THE PUMP IF IT HAS BEEN DAMAGED
IN ANY WAY.
DO NOT LIFT OR CARRY THE PUMP BY THE POWER CORD. Use the
pump’s handle.
DO NOT USE THIS PUMP IN MUD, SAND, CEMENT, OIL OR CHEMICALS.
DO NOT USE SUMP AND EFFLUENT PUMPS TO HANDLE RAW SEWAGE.
AN INDEPENDENT HIGH WATER ALARM OR BACK UP PUMP SHOULD BE
USED when risk of property damage from high water levels exists
THE SWITCH SHOULD BE REPLACED EVERY TWO (2) YEARS. This
maintenance will reduce the risk of improper pump operation,
switch failure, or flooding.
