Product Manual

If a single phase pump is to be wired directly into a control device or junction box, and it is necessary to remove the

plugs, have a certified electrician do the wiring in accordance with the National Electric Code and applicable local codes.

See Fig. 6 for direct wire installation of single phase, automatic pumps.

Fig. 6 – Direct Wiring of 120V or 208-230V Single

Phase, Automatic Pump(s)

For 208-230V installations: Install a double pole disconnect near the pump installation. One

side of the line going to the pump is always “hot”, whether the float switch is in the “On” or the “Off”

position. Use of a double pole disconnect will allow both hot legs to be de-energized.

6. Maintenance

Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the pump from the power source before

handling or making adjustments.

Always disconnect the pump from power source before handling. This guide is designed

to help identify reasons for potential operating problems. It is not a service guide. Dismantling of

pump voids warranty. Servicing of pump other than simple cleaning of pump inlet or

impeller should be referred to the factory or its authorized service centers.

1. Submersible Models: Submersible pump models have sealed permanently lubricated bearings and

require no additional lubrication.

2. Pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build up which may interfere with pump or float

switch operation. The float must be able to move freely through its complete travel without any

restrictions. Pour enough water into the sump to activate the pump periodically (at least every 3 months) when

not normally in use to verify proper function.

NOTE: The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage or injury due to disassembly in the field.
