FEATURES
Non corrosive material.
Stainless steel motor body.
Stainless steel mechanical rotary seal.
Thermal and overload protection.
Piggy back grounded cables
3/4HP, 115VAC, 60Hz, 5.5A.
We recommend that you install your pump in a clean location where there is
adequate room for servicing at a later date. Protection from freezing
temperatures and good ventilation should be considered as well, to provide
the pump an environment for long life. Do not use to pump gas or toxic
fuels. This submersible sump pump is designed to pump water only.
Friction losses in the discharge pipe must be taken into consideration when the
horizontal offset is greater than 50 feet. The discharge pipe should be increased
from 1 1/2” to 2”. This will reduce friction losses and allow the pump to give
maximum performance.
More friction losses must also be taken into consideration when many elbows
and fittings are installed in the discharge line. Each elbows and fittings must be
considered as 1 feet of head.
The float switch of your pump has been pre-set at the factory and does not need
any adjustment.
Never run the pump dry. Damage to the seal may occur. Fill pump pit or sump
basin with water before turning on the power.
Assuming that you have a sump pit located in your basement floor... Your sump pit must be
constructed from concrete, brick, tile or more recently a sump basin made from plastic and/or
fiberglass. The minimum size of your sump pit must be 18” in diameter and no less than 25”
deep. When pit is ready, proceed to next step.

At this step, you have the opportunity to install a 1 1/2” or a 1 1/4” discharge. We recommend
a 1 1/2” ABS/DWV discharge. Install a check valve (350362 in-line 1 1/2” or 350353 1 1/4”
MNPT inlet and 1 1/4” or 1 1/2” outlet) over discharge pipe of your pump and secure it with
stainless steel clamps or glued nipple for ABS/DWV pipe. This check valve will allow easy
access to pump, should service be required.
Install and position your submersible sump pump in the centre of your sump pit or basin and
ensure that there is clearance to allow the mechanical float switch a free working area without
obstructions (pipe, pit’s wall, power cord). The float cord length is factory set and should not
need adjustment. If adjustment is required, the switch cord can be shortened or lengthened.
Install your discharge pipe from check valve to the point of discharge or drain. For installation
over 50 feet of horizontal position discharge pipe, use a 2” pipe to reduce friction loss.
The mechanical switch provided with your pump is supplied with a serial electrical male plug.
Fix the power cord of the pump into the piggy-back receptacle of the switch and plug this one
into electrical grounded outlet. We recommend that a licensed electrician be employed to do
wiring. Permanently ground the motor in accordance to the electrical codes for your area. Do
not use an extension cord to connect your pump to the power source. From your
distribution panel to the receptacle, we recommend a wire gauge not smaller than 14 gauge.
Use tape or tie wrap to fix power cords to discharge pipe.
Fill the sump pit or basin with water to test the operation of your submersible sump pump.
The motor should start when the water level reaches approximetely 3” over your pump.Allow
the pump to go through several “on-off” cycle to assure satisfactory operation. If needed, see
trouble shooting guide in this manual.
Review your installation with typical diagram. Check all connections for leaks.

Unplug the switch and pump motor power cord. Remove the pump from pit or basin. Remove
trash accumulation and dirt from the pump and float switch. Be sure the float switch operates
freely after cleaning. If tar or paint has been received in the pit or basin, use kerosene to
remove residue from float switch or pump. Do not use strong paint solvents.
Remove the screws that hold the strainer or the base to the bottom of the pump body. Pry
the base off the pump body carefully. Clean the impeller and volute passage way from any
debris wich may have become in contact with these parts. Again, If tar or paint has entered
pump, clean with kerosene. Do not use strong paint solvents. Be sure impeller turns freely
after cleaning.
Check and clean away any debris wich may be clogging the suction inlet, pump discharge,
check valve and discharge line.
Replace screws and return sump pump to sump pit or basin and reconnect to piping.
