I NSTALLATION
[_,WARNIN_
Do not use power cord to lift motor. Always
use handle.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid
foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of discharge
pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully
to avoid
stripping or crossingthreads.
a. To install with 3/4" garden hose, install adapter provided
with pump.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread
with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*. Screw pipe into
pump hand tight +1 - 1-I/2 turns.
NOTICE:
Do not try to disassemble pump farther than
removing inlet screen. Any evidence of tampering will void
warranty.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V, 60 Hz operation
and requires a circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity. It is
supplied with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type
plug for
use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. 3 wire extension cord, of at
least 14 AWG (2ram_) size is suggested,with larger sizes for
runs over 25 ft (7M). For safety, pump shouldalways
be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as
a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic
raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off the round
grounding prong.
The
pump
motor
is equipped
with
automatic
resetting thermal protector
and may restart
unexpectedly.
Protector
tripping is indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating pump at low heads (low
discharge restriction),
excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate
wiring,
incorrect
motor connections,
or a
defective motor or pump.
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
The Sump Pump has a 3-prong electric plug. The third prong is
used to ground the pump to prevent possible fatal shock. The
third prong should never be removed. Your electrical outlet
should be the 3-pron8, polarized type with an internal ground.
A separate branch electrical circuit is recommended.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Testing for Ground
For your safety, check your outlet for ground using a Circuit
Analyzer. (Figure A). A Circuit Analyzer will tell you by a pattern
of lights if the power, neutral, and ground wires are correctly
connected
to your outlet. It can also be used to check other
outlets in your home. A Circuit Analyzer is available in the Sears
Electrical Department.
Grounding Outlet
If your outlet is not grounded, install a copper wire (at least 14
gauge (12ram2) from the outlet box, as shown in Figure B, to a
metal cold water pipe. Use ground clamp on pipe.
IMPORTANT:
The cold water pipe you use as a ground must
have metal continuity to electrical ground. If continuity
is
interrupted by plastic, rubber, or other electrical insulators; such
as hoses, fittings, washers or gaskets (including water meter or
pump), a metal bypass must be used. Any electrically insulated
connector should be jumped (as shown in Figure C), with a
length of No. 4 wire clamped securely at both ends.

Automatic Thermal Overload Protection
This pump motor has a built-in automatic thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats, the protector will open and cut
off power to the motor before the heat damages it internally. The
overload will reset automatically and the pump will restart after
the pump cools down below the danger point.
I _'WARNINO ] DO NOT attempt to work on the pump or motor
if the overload seems to have tripped. The motor may restart
without warning at any time. You could be injured and the
pump damaged if it starts when you are working on d.
DO NOT attempt to repair a non-operational sump pump. Take
it to Searsfo? service by a qualified technician.

Generator Sizing
Below is the minimum Engine-Generator Watt rating required to
power this pump motor. Any additional loads, such as lights,
must be added to the
isted oad and the generator
sized
accordingly. Generators are available at all Sears Stores.
