Installation Instructions
1. Construct a basin that is at least 22" deep
and at least 14" in diameter.
Figure A: Sewage Basin
2. Position Pump on solid surface so that the Float
Switch is away from the inlet pipe and at least 1"
away from all obstructions throughout its movement.
3. Fit a sewage cover with a vent pipe, a hole for the
output pipe and a hole for the Power Cord. Thread
the Power Cord through the hole, but do not plug
it in yet. Set the sewage cover aside for now.
4. Attach a discharge pipe to the Pump Outlet.
Drill a 1/8" diameter air bleed hole through the
discharge pipe just above the lower Base to prevent
Pump "airlock." A small spray of water out of
this hole is normal while the Pump is running.
Note: Wrap all threaded connections
with PTFE thread seal tape.

For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797.
5. To prevent excessive cycling from backflow of
water, install a check valve (not included) onto
the discharge pipe. This prevents water from
flowing back after the pump shuts off. Install
according to manufacturer's instructions. Mount
the check valve according to check valve label
to avoid the valve flapper getting stuck.

6. Connect additional discharge pipe as needed to
direct the discharge to the main waste line for the
sewer or septic tank. The discharge should be kept
as short as possible with a minimum number of turns.
7. Make sure that Float is able to move freely.
8. Secure power supply cord to discharge pipe
to prevent possible switch entanglement.
IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the Maximum
Head Lift @ 0 GPH Flow of the Pump.
