1 SW Supersedes 1016 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS These installation instructions apply to the following model: PRE INSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS 1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your retailer before using. SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS 1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, install only a circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). All pumps are furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. 2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach of the pump s power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. More important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the connection ends were to fall into the sump and become wet. 3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according to the National Electrical Code for the current shown on the pump name plate. 4. TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer, which will indicate if the power, neutral, and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified licensed electrician. 5. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should only be performed by a qualified licensed electrician. 6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. 7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a mating 3-prong fault interrupter receptacle. If the installation does not have Quality Products Since /4 HP DO NOT USE for pumping oils, gasoline, or any petroleum by-products Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specific details regarding installation and use. These materials should be retained for future reference. such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired, and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances. 8. Risk of electric shock. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas. 9. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF CAUTIONS 1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate. 2. Vent hole purpose. It is advisable that all submersible sump pumps be of the bottom intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. If a check valve is incorporated in the installation, a vent hole (approx. 3/16 in.) must be drilled in the discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge the bottom intake unit of trapped air. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/or a dry basin. This vent hole should be checked periodically for clogging. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods. 3. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used to handle sewage or effluent. 4. This pump has been evaluated for use with WATER only. 5. Maximum continuous operating water temperature for standard model pumps must not exceed 104 F (40 C). Note: Pumps with the ccsaus mark are tested to UL Standard UL778 & CSA Standard C22.2 No REFER TO WARRANTY ON PAGE 7.

6 SUMP PUMP INSTALLATION GENERAL INFORMATION 1. These pumps are equipped with a vertical magnetic float switch. The pump will turn on automatically when the water level in the sump reaches approximately the float switch on level and automatically turn off when the water is pumped down to the float switch off level. See Chart A for details. Pump On / Off Levels Float Switch On Level Off Level 7 in. 3 in. Chart A 2. The sump pit must be a minimum of 18 in. deep and 10 in. diameter. The pump requires a minimum diameter of 10 in. to prevent excessive pump cycling. INSTALLATION Check Valve Smart Sump Pump Control 5. Install a full flow check valve to prevent back flow, which can cause the pump to cycle too frequently and result in wear and shortened motor life. Drill 3/16 in. vent hole in piping below the pit cover and check valve. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods. Reattach discharge piping as required. 6. Smart Sump Pump High Water Float Installation - DO NOT install sensor in direct line of incoming liquid. a. Fasten high water float to right angle mounting bracket by unthreading plastic nut. Re-tighten plastic nut after inserting sensor stem in bracket (see Figure 5). b. Locate high water float at desired activation level, and secure mounting bracket to the discharge pipe as shown (see Figures 6, 7 and 8) using supplied hose clamp. To Power Supply Backup Float/Alarm ON Level Figure 6 IL1951 High Water Float CONTROL SWITCH NORMALLY OPEN Pump ON Level Pump OFF Level ALARM LEVEL Figure 5 1. For your safety, turn off the electrical power at the service entrance to avoid any possible electrical shock hazards. 2. On a replacement installation, remove the existing pump from the sump by disconnecting the discharge pipe or hose from the old pump. Depending on how your old pump is installed, unscrew clamps and discard old corrugated hose, or unscrew galvanized or plastic pipe from pump discharge. If discharge pipe cannot be removed easily, saw through the pipe about five feet above the pump discharge. 3. After removing the old pump, remove sediment, debris, and any standing water from the sump pit. 4. Place your pump in the sump and attach the discharge piping. Be sure that the pump is positioned so that the float switch moves freely without touching the wall of the sump or other obstructions. (See Figure 5). IL1950 Figure 7 Figure 8 IL1952 IL1953 6

7 c. Secure high water float cord to discharge pipe. To avoid the possibility of interfering with the floats, the extra length of the pump power and high water float cords should remain on top of the sump pump cover and not in the sump pit. NOTE: Create a cable strain relief when securing the control switch cord by fastening a 2 loop of the cord to the pipe with a cable tie or tape. Be sure sensor float moves up and down without interference. NOTE: DO NOT install cord under hose clamp. 7. Do not allow the cord to interfere with the float control motion or to drape over the pump motor. With electrician s tape, secure the cord to the discharge pipe. This will provide protection for the cord and make a neat installation. 8. Plug in pump and restore electrical power at the service entrance. Fill sump pit with water to check automatic switch operation. 9. Install a sump cover. A cover will prevent solid matter from falling into the sump, prevent odors, and guard against accidental injury. PERFORMANCE This pump is designed to pump clear drain water. Although it will usually pass small particles suspended in water, materials such as grass, heavy mud, sand, or pea gravel can clog the pump and reduce pump performance. This can usually be cleaned out by back-flushing on pump side of check valve with a garden hose through the discharge. Specifications HP Amps Discharge Solids Handling Chart B Cord Length 3/ /2 in.
