General
Information
Pump
Warning
7. For proper automatic operation,
make sure the pump power
cord is plugged into the
piggyback receptacle on the
diaphragm switch cord.
Do not cut, crimp, or bend
switch power cord. The vent
tube needs to “breathe” for
proper operation of switch.
This may cause pump failure
and void warranty.
8. Connect to separate electrical
circuit taken directly from
main switch.
9. Use steel or plastic pipe for all
connecting lines between
pump and sewer outlet.
Note: Some city regulations
do not allow installing a
pump with plastic pipe. Check
local regulations.
10.In applications where the
pump may sit idle for months
at a time, it is recommended
that the pump(s) be cycled
every month to ensure the
pumping system is working
properly when needed.
11. Hydromatic check valve
should be installed in
discharge pipe.
12.The Hydromatic Q Alert is an
audible alarm system
for high water conditions. It
should be installed in every
pump pit for greater protection.
Note: Q Alert is for indoor
use only. Other Q Alarm and
control panels are available
for outdoor use. Contact your
Hydromatic distributor
for
applications.
These important instructions
must be followed for satisfactory
performance of your pump:
1. Provide proper sump (minimum
sump diameter of 18").
2. Do not set pump directly on
the bottom of sump pit if it is
not solid. Raise the pump by
using bricks or concrete blocks
underneath it.
3. Make sure sump is free of
string, cloth, nails, gravel, etc.,
before installing pump.
4. Risk of electrical shock–connect
only to a properly grounded,
grounding-type receptacle.
5. Do not remove ground pin
from electrical plug.
6. Do not use an extension cord.
