mportant Safety Instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the Basement Watchdog pumps. You will need to refer to

it before attempting any installation or maintenance.

ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible.

Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property

damage, serious injury, or death.

• ALWAYS disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or making

adjustments.

• NEVER handle the pump or motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp

surface while the pump is plugged into the power source.

• MAKE SURE THERE IS A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE AVAILABLE. This pump is

wired with a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain

that it is only connected to a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle. If you have a 2-

prong receptacle, have a licensed electrician replace it with a 3-prong receptacle

according to local codes and ordinances.

• NEVER bypass grounding wires or remove the ground prong from the plug.

• DO NOT use an extension cord. The electrical outlet should be within the length of the

pump’s power cord, and at least 4 feet above the floor level to minimize potential

hazards from flood conditions.

• DO protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals.

Avoid kinking the cord.

• MAKE SURE the supply circuit has a dedicated fuse or circuit breaker rated to handle

the power requirements noted on the nameplate of the pump.

• DO NOT use the power cord or strain relief to carry the pump. Use the pump handle.

• DO NOT pull on the float switch cord.

• DO NOT operate the pump or control unit if it has been damaged in any way.

• DO NOT use sump pumps in pits handling raw sewage, salt water, or hazardous liquids.

This pump is for ground water use only.

for intermittent use only.

• DO NOT disassemble the pump or float switch. When service is required, contact

(b) Loosen the check 9B valve or rubber union by unscrewing the bottom hose clamp. (If the existing system is installed without a check valve or rubber union, saw the pipe apart above the sump pit.) NOTICES • When a check valve is used, a 1/8” (3.2mm) air bleed hole must be drilled in the PVC pipe above the pump. Drill the hole at a 45º angle toward the bottom of the sump to avoid splashing water outside the sump pit. Make sure the hole is above the water line, and below the check valve.
