Receiving and Installation
Receiving Inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage
has occurred, file a claim immediately with the company that delivered the pump. If the
manual is removed from the packaging do not lose or misplace.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a period longer than 6 months from the date of purchase
should be bench tested prior to installation. A bench test consists of checking the
impeller to assure it is free turning, and switch (if provided) operates properly.
Controls
Manual models require a separate approved pump control device or panel for automatic
operation. Be sure the electrical specification of the control selected properly match
the electrical specifications of the pump.
Submergence
The pump should always be operated in the submerged condition. The minimum sump
liquid level should never be less than above the pump's volute (see Figure 1)
Liquid Level Control
Typical Discharge Pipe Mounted:
Refer to Figure 2 which shows a typical installation of a 1 ph 115v Pump using a level control
mounted to the discharge piping with a piggyback plug. Level control should have adequate
clearance so it can not hang up in it's swing and the pump is completely submerged when the
level control is in the "off" mode. By adjusting the cord tether the control level can be changed.
