The Laundry Pump System (See Figure 1)
Risk of Flooding. Flooding may cause per-
sonal injury or property damage.
Flooding will occur if a
washing machine discharges directly into the basin. A
washer must discharge into the sink and the sink drain
must run into the basin. The sink drain must be gravity fed.
OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Shock can burn or
kill.
Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet
hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in
water.
1. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
2. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do
not operate the pump unless it is submerged in water
as the seal may be damaged if the pump is allowed
to run dry.
3. The motor is equipped with an automatic reset ther-
mal protector. If the temperature in the motor should
rise unduly, the switch will cut off all of the power
before any damage can be done to the motor. When
the motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset
automatically and restart the motor. If the protector
trips repeatedly, the pump should be removed and
checked for the cause of the difficulty. Low voltage,
long extension cords, a clogged impeller, very low
head or lift, etc., could cause cycling. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Chart on Page 6 for additional infor-
mation.
4. Periodically inspect the pump, system components
and basin for debris and foreign objects. Keep the
basin free of all refuse. Perform routine maintenance
as required.
Risk of flooding. Flooding can cause per-
sonal injury or property damage.
This laundry pump sys-
tem comes with the automatic float switch mounted on
the motor cover ready for operation. Do not change
switch settings. The switch is set to start when the water
is 7” deep and stop when the water is 2” deep.
