bottom. The legs will sink into the dirt and the suction
will become plugged.
Installing Pump in Sump
If pump is not installed with lift-out rail system it must
be properly supported on legs and connected to
discharge pipe so that space is provided under pump
for entrance of sewage. Pump inlet should not be
closer than 2 inches from bottom of sump.
It is not generally desirable to install these pumps
without the rail system except on special O.E.M.
packaged systems. Check valves should always be
installed along with shut-off valves. This allows for
easier service and prevents backflow into basin.
CAUTION: Operating pump builds up heat
and pressure; allow time for pump to cool to
room temperature.
WARNING: Disconnect all power and control
wires to motor at control panel before starting
disassembly operation. Never rely on opening circuit
breaker only.

Pump Servicing
WARNING: Servicing should be performed
only by an authorized service center.
Always disconnect the pump from power source
before handling or making any adjustments. Always
wear rubber boots when there is water on the floor and
you must unplug the pump or make any adjustments.
Note: Automatic thermal overload protects the sealedin-oil motor. Running dry may overheat the motor and
activate the overload protector until the unit cools.
Storage
Any product that is stored for a period longer than six
(6) months from the date of purchase should be bench
tested prior to installation. A bench test consists of,
checking the impeller to assure it is free turning and
a run test to assure the motor (and switch if provided)
operate properly. Do not pump out of liquid.
WARNING: A clearance under the pump for
entrance of sewage solids must be a
minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of 3.5 inches.

OPERATION MANUAL

Document Name: ES45_OM

Page 5 of 11

Submergence
The pump should always be operated in the
submerged condition. The minimum sump liquid level
should never be less than above the pump’s motor,
unless very briefly.
Discharge Piping
Install discharge piping or hose assembly to the pump.
Discharge piping should be as short as possible and
sized no smaller than the pump discharge. Do not
reduce the discharge pipe size below that which is
provided on the pump. Both a check valve and a shutoff valve are recommended for each pump. The check
valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. The
shut-off valve is used to manually stop system flow
during pump servicing. Be sure the discharge pipe
has a 1/8” diameter hole approx. 5” from end nearest
volute and oriented towards the pump body.
Control Panel
Single phase series sewage pumps DO NOT require
a control panel, but do require a level control with a
piggy back plug, See Figure 2, Page 6.
Motor
Each motor is provided with heat sensor thermostats
attached directly to the motor windings. The
thermostats open if the motor windings see excessive
heat and, in turn, open the motor contactor in the
control panel when used, breaking the power to
the pump. When the motor is stopped due to an
overheated condition, it will not start until the motor
has cooled.

Pre-Operation
Check Voltage And Phase
Before operating pump, check to make sure that
voltage and phase information stamped on the pump’s
identification plate matches the available power.
Check Pump Rotation
Before putting pump into service for the first time,
the motor rotation must be checked. Improper motor
rotation can result in poor pump performance and can
damage the motor and/or pump.
Identification Plate
Note the numbers on the pumps identification plate

and record in this manual for future reference.
CAUTION: Electrical Connections
Turn circuit breaker off before plugging or
unplugging the switch and/or pump. Always rely upon
a Certified Electrician for installation.
Piggy-Back Plug
Plug the level control plug into a 115V receptacle, then
plug the pump into the piggy-back plug. See Figure
2, Page 6. It is recommended that this circuit have
a 15 AMP breaker. One cycle of operation should
be observed, so that any potential problems can be
corrected.
The range of the switch is the distance between the
On and Off levels. The Off level is at the bracket
mounting screw of the switch. From this point,
measure up either 6” or 8.5”, depending on your
switch’s range, to find the On level.
Note: The switch range is noted on the switch’s cord
label.
Note: If you purchased a pump with the Ion switch
hard-mounted to the pump (See Figure 3) and the
installation requires the switch be mounted to the
pipe, the pipe-mount bracket is sold separately, PN:
IN-SPB1-1.

Figure 3

Range
of 6”-8.5”

Thermal Protection
The normally closed (N/C) over temperature sensor
is embedded in the motor windings and will detect
excessive heat in the event an overload condition
occurs.
The thermal sensor will trip when the windings
become too hot and will automatically reset when the
pump motor cools to a safe temperature.
In the event of an over temperature, the source of
this condition should be determined and repaired
immediately. Thermal protection shall not be used as a
motor overload device.
Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required. Perform the
following checks when pump is removed from
operation or when pump performance deteriorates:
1. Inspect motor chambers for oil level and
contamination.

2. Inspect impeller and body for excessive buildup or clogging.
3. Inspect motor and bearings.
4. Inspect seal for wear or leakage.

Troubleshooting
Pump does not run and/or just hums.
1. Line circuit breaker is off, or fuse is blown or
loose
2. Water level in sump has not reached turn-on
level as indicated in installation drawing
