- Pozisyonman Ponp lan: Place the pump on a solid, level surface at the bottom of the sump basin. The pump's base is designed to keep the intake raised off the pit floor, reducing debris ingestion.
- Tiyo dechaj: Connect a 1-1/2 inch NPT discharge pipe to the pump's outlet. Use rigid PVC pipe for best results. Install a check valve in the discharge line to prevent water from flowing back into the sump basin lè ponp lan fèmen.
- Ajisteman switch flote: The tethered float switch controls the automatic operation of the pump. Adjust the tether length to ensure the pump turns on at the desired water level and turns off before the pump runs dry. Ensure the float can move freely without obstruction.
- Koneksyon elektrik: Plug the pump's power cord into a properly grounded 115 VAC, 60 Hz electrical outlet. The piggy-back style switch allows for automatic or manual operation. For automatic operation, plug the pump into the back of the float switch plug, then plug the float switch plug into the wall outlet. For manual operation, plug the pump directly into the wall outlet (the pump will run continuously).
- Tès: After installation, fill the sump basin with water to test the pump's operation. Verify that the pump turns on and off correctly and that water is discharged properly.
Enstriksyon Operasyon
The Flotec FPZS50T pump can operate in two modes: automatic or manual.
- Operasyon otomatik: When the pump is connected via its piggy-back float switch, it will automatically activate when the water level rises, lifting the float switch. The pump will continue to run until the water level drops and the float switch returns to its off position.
- Operasyon manyèl: To operate the pump manually, bypass the float switch by plugging the pump's power cord directly into a grounded electrical outlet. The pump will run continuously until unplugged. Use manual operation for specific tasks like emptying a pool or utility pumping, but do not leave unattended to prevent dry running.
CAUTION: Do not allow the pump to run dry for extended periods, as this can cause damage to the motor and seals.
