Instructions / Assembly

Table Of Contents

  It is highly recommended to install a full flow, swing type check valve (not included) as close to

the discharge outlet on the pump as possible. A new check valve will greatly increase the life of

your pump, and should be the same size as the pump discharge, 1 ¼” or 1 ½”.

  4.

  Connect the pump and check valve together using schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings. You can

also use DWV or ABS pipe, as this is not a pressure installation. Corrugated drain hose is

intended for temporary use and should not be used in a permanent installation. Although there

are many types of pipe that work adequately for this installation, PVC is recommended.

  Test your installation after you have completed setting up the pump and connected all piping.

Plug the cord into the grounded outlet. The pump should not run at this point. If the pump runs,

the switch is stuck in the upright position. Fill the sump basin with water using buckets or a hose.

When the float moves to the upright position, the pump will turn on. The switch will turn off the

pump when the float reaches the down position. You may adjust the “turn on” position to meet

your particular needs by moving the grommet up or down on the float rod. Remember the switch

must move up and down freely without touching the sides of the sump basin.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  a. Insert the float rod through the hole in the switch.

b. Carefully slide the rubber grommet onto the float rod. NOTE: Use liquid soap to help slide the

grommet on the float rod.

c. Slide guide onto the float rod and attach it to the column.

d. Thread the float ball onto the float rod. You may need a set of pliers to prevent the rod from

turning.

e. Move the grommet up or down on the float rod to adjust the “turn on” position of the pump.

  1.

  Set your new pump in the bottom of the sump basin. The pump should be placed on a solid

foundation. Do not place pump directly on sandy or rocky surfaces. Sand and small stones may

clog or cause damage to your pump.

  Make sure the float ball will move up and down freely

without coming in contact with the side of the sump pit.

Contact with the side of the sump pit may cause the

switch to malfunction. See as below.
