2. Position Pump on solid surface.
When positioning make sure the Float Switch is
away from the inlet pipe and at least 1 inch away
from all obstructions throughout its movement.
3. Fit a sump cover with 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 sump cover aside for now.
Note: The sump cover can also be
fitted with a vent pipe, if desired.

4. Attach a discharge pipe to the Pump Outlet.
Note: Wrap all threaded connections
with PTFE thread seal tape.
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.
