RULES FOR SAFE INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this 1 Read these Instructions and Safety Rules carefully.

manual or on pump.

AThis is the safety alert symbol. When you see this

symbol on your pump or in this manual, look for one of the

following signal words and be alert to the potential for per-

sonal injury!

_ warns about hazards that will cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

[_WARNING_ warns about hazards that can cause serious

personal injury, death or major property damage if ignored.

[A CAUTION ] warns about hazards that will or can cause

minor personal injury or property damage if ignored.

The word NOTICE indicates special instructions which are

important but not related to hazards.

Electrically powered sump pumps normally give many years

of trouble-free service when correctly installed, maintained,

and used. However, unusual circumstances (interruption of

power to the pump, dirt/debris in the sump, flooding that ex-

ceeds the pump's capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in

the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump from functioning

normally. To prevent possible water damage due to flooding,

consult your local Sears store about installing a secondary

sump pump or a DC backup sump pump. See "Service",

Page 5, for information about common sump pump prob-

lems and remedies.

NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving

salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will void

warranty.

Failure to lollow them could cause serious bodily injuD.'

and/or property damage.

Check your local Electrical and Plumbing Codes before

installing pump. You must comply with their rules,

[AWARNING] Do not use in explosive atmospheres.

Pump water only with this pump.

Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors arc de-

signed m run at high temperatures.

[AWARNING]Risk of electric shock. Proceed as fol-

lows if pump needs servicing:

A. Disconnect power to pump outlet box before

pulling pump cord plug! After plug is pulled, let

pump cool for 20 minutes before attempting to work

on it.

B. Take extreme care when changing fuses. To re-

duce the chance of fatal electrical shocks, DO NOT

stand in water or put your finger in the fuse socket.

C. Ground the electrical outlet box.

D. Use only a grounded outlet for cord plug.

E. Do not handle pump motor with wet hands or when

standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

Never run pump dry. To do so can damage internal parts,

overheat the pump (which can cause burns to people han-

dling or servicing the pump), and will w)id the warnmty!

WARNIN_ FIRE HAZARD- Do not store or rest ob-

jects on or near motor or switch linkage. Keep all

flammable objects or liquids away from motor.

THE SUMP

Tbe sump should be located at tile lowest place in tim base-

ment or area to be drained. Floor drains from other areas in

the basement may bc tiled into tile sump. Drain tile around

a house foundation can also be tiled into the sump, effec-

tively removing water and relieving pressure from this area.

A suitable sump can be a 2(1" or 24" sewer tile. Sump must

be at least 12" in diameter.

A sump cover is desirable to exclude refuse from the sump.

Consult local code for sump cover specifications.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Check your local Electrical and Plumbing ('odes before in-

stalling pump. You nlust comply with their rules.

Set tile pump on the bottom of the stlnlp, luakiug sure that

it sits solidly and is level. Be sure there is cnotlgh space

arottlld the punlp to allow tile s\vitc]l I'ree MOVelncnt as

tile stlnlp veater level cllallgCS I)o not Jllstall un clay,

earth, or salld

_" CAUTION Risk of flooding. If aflexible discharge

hose is used, pump may move around in sump

when motor starts. If it moves far enough so that the

switcb bits the side of the sump, the switch may stick and

prevent pump fi'om starting. Make sure that pump is se-

cured so tbat it cannot "walk around" in sump.

NOTE: To avoid backflow into tile sump when the pump

shuts off, install a Check Valve, SEARSStock No. 2789, in the

threaded discharge port of pump (390.303302) or l-1/2"xl-

1/4" reducer bushing (390.303491 ). Reducer bushing is in-

cluded with Model 390.303491. Be sure arrow on check

valve body points away from the pump. This Check Valve is

equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking the

pump. If using any other check valve, drill 1/8" (3.2 ram)

hole in discharge pipe just above pump body but below

check valve to prevent air locks.

Use 1-1/4" plastic pipe from Hose Kit No. 27909 for the dis-

charge pipe. Run the discharge pipe to the nearest sewer

outlet or other point of disposal. Use the most direct route

with the fewest turns and elbows possible.

Use Teflon tape to seal threads in plastic pipe. Hand tighten

only.

Thread float rod into float until it is llmnly hand tight.

Slide rod guide over float rod: fi)llow it with a rod stop

hushing (A) set ahout eight inches down trom the top of

the rod.

3. Slide lloat rod up through tile eye in the switch arm. Add

a rod stop bushing (B) at the top of the rod.

4. Open large loop on rod guide and mount it around the

column. Fasten with screw, making sure that the float rod

hangs vertically from the switch and moves freely in the

rod guide. Make sure tile rod guide is tightly clamped.

5. Adjust rod stop bushings for designed level control.

6. Lift the rod up and down to be sure the switch will click

and that the arm does not bind on the rubber bushings.

The rod must also move freely in the guide.

7. Fill the sump and run pump through one complete cycle

to check switch operation.

l. When the sump is dry, the lloat rod hangs from the switch

arm. Its weight hoMs the switch off.

2. When the water rises in the sump, the float lifts the switch

rod. The buoyancy will push tim switch arm up :tnd mm

When the water is ptmlped out of tile sump, the lloat

drops do;_.'ll again. Tim weight of the {loat will all()w the

rod and switch arm to li)wer and turn tile dntiner switch

off.

DO NOT ALLOW PUMP TO RUN DRY

Pump should not be allowed to tun dry prior to shutting off.

To do so voids the warranty and could ruin the pump.

If necessary, adjust the float so this will not happen.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

[_kWARNING]RJsk of electric shock. 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-prong, polarized type with an

internal ground.

Pump must be wired into a 15 amp GFCI protected individ-

ual branch circuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.

Testing for Ground

For your safety, check your outlet for ground using a Circuit

Analyzer, (Figure 3). A Circuit Analyzer will tell you by a pat-

tern of lights ff the power, neutral, and ground wires are cor-

rectly 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 outlet is not grounded, install a copper wire (at least 14

gauge) from the outlet hox, as shown in Figure 4, to a metal

cold water pipe. Use ground clamp on pipe•

IMPORTANT: The cold water pipe you use as a ground

must have mt,tal continuity to electrical ground. Ifcontintfity

is intcrruptcd by plastic, robber, or other electrical illsuhl-

tot-s; such as hoses, fittings, washcrs or gaskets (including

water meter or pump), a metal bypass Intlst l)e used. An)'

electrically insulated connector should be jumped (as shown

in Figure 5), with a length of No. 4 wire clamped securely

at both ends•

Automatic Thermal Overload Protection

This pump motor has a built-ifi 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 dan-

ger point.

[& WARNING 1DO 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 it.

DO NOT attempt to repair a sump pump Take it to SEARS

for service by a qualified technician.
