Install Instructions

NOTICE:
• Use only copper wire to the drive unit and the ground (earth) . The ground (earth) wire
must be at least as thick as the wire to the drive unit.
• Conductors should have color codes to make the maintenance easier.
4.4 Install the pump
DO NOT place the pump directly on earth, gravel or debris. This can cause excessive wear
of the impeller and possible jamming.
A. Provide a hard level bottom of bricks or concrete.
B. Remove all debris from the bottom of the sump pit.
1. Install a threaded pipe adapter into the threaded pump discharge.
2. Install a line check valve just above the union to prevent backflow of water after each
pump cycle.
3. Connect the discharge pipe to the pump.
4. Lower the pump into the pit, making sure the float switch has adequate clearance and
will not hang up on the pit wall. See “Typical installation”.
The float must be free to move and not come in contact with the pump body, piping,
or other objects.
5. Securely tape or clamp power cord to discharge pipe, clear of the float mechanisms.
