Check local electrical and plumbing codes for regulatory compliance before installation.
Use a separate circuit with fuse/breaker and GFCI for safety.
Avoid standing in water when connecting/disconnecting the power cord.
Connect to a three-prong grounded outlet with GFCI.
Do not pump flammable liquids to prevent explosion or fire.
Vent sewage or septic tanks according to local codes.
Avoid running the pump dry to prevent seal damage and voiding warranty.
Allow 30 minutes for motor housing to cool before touching after operation.
Pump has lifetime lubrication; do not add other oils.
Install pump on a hard, level surface like cement or asphalt.
Install pump in a basin at least 16 inches diameter and 24 inches depth.
Use ABS, PVC, or galvanized steel piping, 1½" minimum for 3/4" solids.
Use ABS, PVC, or galvanized steel piping, 2" minimum for 2" solids (DSBW300).
Check local codes for check valves; drill relief hole to prevent air locking.
Sealed cover and vent are compulsory for sewage, optional for sump water.
Motor has a built-in protector that cuts off power before overheating.
Float switch controls automatic pump operation; adjust tether length.
Ensure the pump inlet screen is kept clean and free of debris.
Cleanings should occur often, especially for pumps that run constantly.
Inspectors should ensure the float is not tangled or jammed.
A pump with a jammed float is useless; ensure it can turn on and shut off.
Test pump by pouring water into the pit to ensure it activates and expels water.
Seek professional help if the pump does not activate.
Check plug connections, breaker/fuse, liquid level control, and thermal overload.
Ensure the liquid level control is not caught on basin sides or pump.
Check for air locking, plugged impeller/suction, valve issues, or undersized piping.
Verify the check valve is not stuck open, which can cause short cycling.
Return defective units or parts to your dealer with serial number and proof of purchase.
