Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it must be replaced with
a properly grounded 3-prong recepta-
cle installed in accordance with the
NEC and local codes and ordinances.
11. All wiring should be performed by
a qualified electrician.
12. It is strongly recommended that
this unit is plugged into a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
Consult a local electrician for
installation and availability.
The
pump
motor is equipped with automatic
resetting thermal protector and may
restart unexpectedly. Protector
tripping is an indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating
the pump at low heads (low discharge
restriction), excessively high or low
voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect
motor conditions, or a defective motor
or pump.
13. This pump is designed to transfer
water in cycles. Using this pump in a
continuous duty application by ma-
nipulating the switch to stay on,
will affect the performance and the
life of the product.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately. Use wire of
adequate size to minimize voltage
drop at the motor.
15. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing on a wet or damp surface,
or in water.
16. Do not hang this product by the
carry handle. Effluent pumps should
be set firmly on their legs and
supported by rigid piping. This
eliminates twisting and damage
during pump operation.
17.
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not walk on wet area
until all power has been
turned off. If the shut-off box
is in basement, call the electric
company to shut-off service to the
house, or call the local fire department
for instructions. Remove pump and
repair or replace. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fatal electrical
shock.
General Safety
Information
(Cont.)
7. Periodically inspect the pump and
system components. Perform
routine maintenance as required
(See Maintenance Section).
8. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times
when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean,
uncluttered and properly lighted;
replace all unused tools and
equipment.
c. Keep visitors a safe distance from
the work area. Make workshop
child-proof with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter
keys.
9. When wiring an electrically driven
pump such as this, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well
as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC) and the
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
Risk of electric shock! Never
connect the green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live
terminal!
10. The BALE311A, BALE411A, and
BALE511A are only for use on 120
volt, single phase service.
BALE521A and BALE621 are only
for use on 230 volt, single phase
service. Both models are equipped
with an approved 3-conductor cord
and 3-prong, grounding-type plug
as shown in Figure 1.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the
motor must be securely and
adequately grounded. This can be
accomplished by the following:
a. Inserting plug directly into a
properly installed and grounded
3-prong, grounding-type receptacle
(as shown in Figure 1).
b. Consult a local electrician for
professional, permanent installation.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Installation
In any
installation where property damage
and/or personal injury might result
from an inoperative or leaking pump
due to power outages, discharge line
blockage or any other reason, use a
backup system(s).
1. Thread the discharge pipe or pipe
nipple into the discharge
connection. Schedule 40 or 80 rigid
PVC pipe is recommended.
2. Mount the check valve.
3. Drill a 1/16" hole between the
discharge of the pump and the
check valve. The hole prevents air
locking of the pump at the initial
start-up and if it should lose prime.
4. A gate valve should be installed in
the system after the check valve.
This gate valve should be a full port
valve which will pass 3/4” solids or
as required by state and local codes.
This gate valve permits removal of
the pump and/or check valve for
servicing.
5. A union should be installed
between the check valve and the
pump so the pump can be removed
with least disturbance of the piping.
6. The pump has a detachable tether
switch with a piggyback plug
(tether switch not included on
BALE621).
