INSTALLATION

Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.

Do not lift pump by power cord. See “Lifting Pump” and

Figure 1.

NOTE: Install pump on a hard, level surface (cement,

asphalt, etc.). Never place pump directly on earth, clay, or

gravel surfaces. Basin must be at least 18” in diameter and

30” deep.

Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill. Do

not lift pump by power cord.

This pump is designed for use in a residential sewage or

septic system only. Use only within design parameters.

NOTICE: This unit is not designed as a waterfall or fountain

pump, or for applications involving salt water or brine! Use

with waterfalls, fountains, salt water or brine will void

warranty.

Do not use where water recirculates.

Not designed for use as a swimming pool drainer.

NOTICE: The oil-filled motor was not designed for use

in water containing fish. Do not use this pump in water

with fish present.

Lifting Pump

1. Use handle on top of pump for all lifting/lowering of

pump. Disconnect power to pump before doing any

work on pump or attempting to remove pump from

sump.

2. Attempting to lift or support pump by power cord can

damage cord and cord connections.

Piping

Piping must not be smaller than pump discharge.

The rate of flow in the discharge pipe must keep any solids

present in suspension in the fluid. To meet minimum flow

requirements of 2 feet per second (61 cm/sec) in discharge

line, size pipe as follows:

TABLE I

For A Pipe Size of: Minimum Flow Rate is:

2” (51mm) 21 GPM (79.5 L/M)

2-1/2” (64 mm) 30 GPM (113.5 L/M)

3” (76mm) 48 GPM (182 L/M)

Use a 2” (51 mm) minimum check valve in pump

discharge to prevent backflow of liquid into sump basin.

The check valve should be a free flow valve that will easily

pass solids. Be sure check valve installation complies with

local codes.

NOTICE: For best performance of check valve when

handling solids, do not install it with discharge more than

45° above the horizontal. Do not install check valve in a

vertical position as solids may settle in valve and prevent

opening on startup.

Drill a 3/16” (5 mm) hole in discharge pipe about 1 to 2”

(25-50 mm) above pump discharge connection (but below

check valve) to prevent airlocking the pump.

ELECTRICAL

Risk of electrical shock and fire. Be sure that

power supply information (Voltage/Hertz/Phase) on pump

motor nameplate matches incoming power supply exactly.

Install pump according to all electrical codes that apply.

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or

cause death. When installing, operating, or servicing this

pump, follow safety instructions below.

1. DO NOT splice the power cord, submerge electrical

cord plug, or use extension cords.

2. DO NOT handle or service pump while it is connected

to power supply.

3. DO NOT operate pump unless it is properly grounded.

Power cord is a 3-wire conductor with 3-prong

grounding-type plug. Do not modify cord or plug.

When using with plug-in receptacle, plug pump into

a 3-wire, grounded, grounding-type receptacle only.

Connect pump according to all applicable codes.

For automatic operation, plug or wire pump into an

automatic float switch or pump controller. For continuous

operation, plug directly into an electrical outlet or wire

directly into switch box. Connect pump to its own

individual branch circuit with nothing else on the circuit.

For fuse/circuit breaker requirements see “Specifications”

on Page 1.

Operation / Maintenance 4

For parts or assistance, call Flotec Customer Service at 1-800-365-6832

OPERATION

The automatic overload protector in the motor will protect

motor from burning out due to over heating/overloading.

When motor cools down, protector automatically resets

and starts motor.

If overload trips frequently, check for cause. It could be

a stuck impeller, wrong/low voltage, or electrical failure

in motor. If an electrical failure in the motor is suspected,

have it serviced by a competent repairman.

NOTICE: Do not allow pump to run in a dry sump. It will

void the warranty and may damage the pump.

Pump is permanently lubricated. No oiling or greasing is

required.

MAINTENANCE

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn,

or cause death. Before removing pump from basin for

service, always disconnect electrical power to pump and

control switch.

After removing basin cover and necessary discharge

piping, lift pump out of basin.

Risk of electrical shock. Can burn or kill.

Do not lift pump by power cord. See “Lifting Pump” and

Figure 1, on Page 4.

Place pump in an area where it can be cleaned

thoroughly. Remove all scale and deposits on the pump.

Submerge complete pump in a disinfectant solution

(chlorox or similar strength chlorine solution) for at least

one hour before disassembling pump.

The pump seal plate contains a special lubricating oil

which should be kept clean and free of water at all times.

Impeller Replacement

To replace the impeller, follow steps 1 through 3. Reverse

the steps to reassemble the pump.

See the Repair Parts Illustrations for part identification.

1. Disconnect the power to the pump.

2. Remove the base and gasket.

3. Remove the impeller nut and washer; pull the impeller

off of the shaft.
