Physical Installation
1. Install the pump in the center of a suitable basin that is at least 18 inches in diameter and 24 inches
deep in accordance with local plumbing codes.
NOTE: Diaphragm switch models may be used in basins 10 inches in diameter.
Clean any debris from the basin.
Refer to “Typical Installation” on page 5.
2. Place the pump-basin assembly on a hard, level surface.
Never place the pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces. These surfaces contain small
stones, gravel, sand etc. that may clog or damage the pump and cause pump failure.
Do not restrict the intake of the pump as this may damage the seal and starve the pump.
3. Install discharge piping.
The discharge pipe should be as short as possible and contain as few elbows as possible.
Do not use piping smaller than the pump discharge.
Use pipe joint compound at all connections.
Support the pump and piping. Failure to do so may cause the piping to break, the pump to fail,
motor bearing failures, etc.
If reduced flow rates are required, place a valve on the pump discharge or, if flexible vinyl tubing is
used, a clamp on the tubing.
Install a union in the discharge line just above the basin cover for ease of maintenance.
4. Install a full-flow check valve in the discharge line horizontally to prevent back-flow of liquid into the
basin.
If installed vertically, solids may settle in the valve and prevent it from opening at start-up.
5. Drill a 1/8-inch or 3/16-inch diameter relief hole in the discharge pipe below the floor line between the
pump discharge and check valve.
6. Tape the pump and switch cords to the discharge pipe with electrical tape to keep the power cords
securely routed away from the pump inlet and any control floats.
IMPORTANT: Automatic models using a diaphragm switch include a breather tube that runs through
the power cord. On models with a hardwired connection, this tube extends from the end of the cord. On
models with a plug, the tube is integrated into the plug. Be sure the tube is not obstructed, pinched, or
kinked during installation.
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance
with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
Risk of property damage due to flooding.
If the relief hole in the discharge pipe is not provided, the pump could “air lock” and will not pump
water even though it will run.
A missing, improperly installed, or malfunctioning check valve can cause a pump to short-cycle due
to back-flow of the pumped fluid from the discharge plumbing back into the basin, significantly
shortening the life of the pump.
INSTALLATION
Electrical Connections

7. Connect the pump to an appropriate power supply. Refer to “Electrical Connections” on page 7.
8. Test the operation of the system. Refer to “Operation Testing” on page 9.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to operate the pump without water.
9. Place cover over basin to help prevent debris from entering the pit and guard against accidental injury.
Electrical Connections
Wiring Guidelines
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required.
2. Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by code.
Do not connect to a voltage other than that shown.
The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit.
The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit. For amperage rat-
ings, refer to nameplate and “Product Description” on page 4.
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
Some pumps are supplied with lead wires and are intended to be hardwired using a junction box or
other approved enclosure. The pumps include a grounding connector. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is properly connected to ground.
Some pumps are supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To
reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-
type receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump
to help prevent possible electric shock hazard. Do not use an extension cord.
Do not remove the third prong from the plug, or cut plug from cord. These actions will void the war-
ranty.
Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are prop-
erly connected. If not, a qualified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the
exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the
control panel must be made within a junction box mounted outside of the basin and comply with the
National Electrical Code.
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
Do not use an extension cord.

Power Supply
Models With Stripped Wire Ends
Some models are supplied with a stripped wire cord end. Power connections,
along with any liquid level control, must be made within a junction box
mounted outside of the basin, and must comply with the National Electrical
Code. Employ a licensed electrician.
The power cord wires are color coded as follows:
To add a liquid level control to a hardwired pump, use the diagram to the right.
Automatic Pump Models
Pumps equipped with an integral automatic diaphragm switch include one master power
cord for both the pump and the switch. Plug the cord into a GFCI outlet.
Models with a float switch, or remote diaphragm switch, include two power cords with a
piggyback plug on the switch cord. For automatic operation, plug the pump cord into the
switch cord. Plug the switch cord (with pump cord attached) into a GFCI outlet.
Manual Pump Models
Manual pumps are plugged into a dedicated GFCI receptacle and are controlled either by
switching the power or by unplugging the cord.
Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a
large volume of water is to be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored
during manual operation and disconnected from power before the pump runs dry.
Manual pumps can be converted to automatic mode by installing a separate liquid level control. Install
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
In a 230 V direct wire installation, one side of the line going to the pump is always electrically ener-
gized, regardless of whether the liquid level control switch is open or closed. To avoid hazards when
installing or servicing, install a double-pole disconnect near the pump installation.
Be sure the electrical connection cannot be reached by rising water. Under no circumstances should
the junction box be located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.

OPERATION TESTING
If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning instructions in “Cleaning Impeller and
Volute” on page 12. Do not let the unit freeze. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the
unit.
Testing Automatic Pump Operation
Pump models 6-CIA, 6-CIA-RS, and 6-CBA are equipped with a diaphragm switch that operates by balanc-
ing water and air pressure. Rising water in the basin applies pressure to the diaphragm, which activates the
switch, turning on the pump. As the water level falls, the pressure decreases until the switch deactivates,
turning off the pump. For the switch to function properly, it is vented to the atmosphere through a breather
tube routed through the pump’s power cord. Non-restrictive air flow in the breather tube is required.
Pump model 6-CIA-RFS is equipped with a remote float switch with a piggyback plug on the switch cord.
The pump must be plugged into the piggyback switch cord for automatic operation.
When the pump is installed in a basin with a sealed cover, pump operation cannot be observed. The basin
cover will usually have a spare hole that is plugged with a rubber plug. This plug can be removed and pump
operation can be observed.
To test system operation, follow these steps:
1. Connect the pump to power with correct voltage. Refer to the pump nameplate.
2. If applicable, be sure the gate valve on the discharge line is open.
3. Run water into the basin until the pump is activated. Do not attempt to run the pump without water.
4. Confirm that the pump and its control switch are functioning as intended.
NOTE: If the pump doesn’t turn on, test the switch. Refer to “Testing the Diaphragm Switch” on page 10
or “Testing the Float Switch” on page 10.
5. Confirm that the ON/OFF levels are within specification.
6. Make sure no potential obstructions exist that could inhibit switch operation.
7. Verify there are no leaks in the pump discharge plumbing and main home drain pipe plumbing.
NOTE: It is normal for a stream of water to spray from the air bleed hole in the pump’s plumbing. Water
also sprays out of a hole in the base of the unit. Confirm that this spray is captured within the basin.
8. Allow the pump to operate through several on/off cycles.
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump.
If pump is run dry, it may damage pump and void the warranty.
OPERATION TESTING
Testing Automatic Pump Operation
10
Testing the Diaphragm Switch
NOTE: This test is recommended for bench testing only.
To test the functionality of the diaphragm switch without submersing it in water, suction (vac-
uum) must be applied to the open end of the breather tube (1) at the power cord plug or
stripped end of the power cord.
Suction can be applied using a suction bulb syringe (2).
The suction causes the switch diaphragm to draw inward, activating the switch inside the
switch housing. When syringe is released, the diaphragm returns to its original position deacti-
vating the switch inside the switch housing.
1. Squeeze the bulb of the syringe.
2. Insert the small end into the breather tube of the power cord.
3. Release the bulb to induce suction/vacuum.
4. Listen for the switch to make a click sound.
5. Once the suction/vacuum equalizes, listen for the diaphragm switch to release.
Testing the Float Switch
A float switch can be bench tested by using an ohmmeter to check
for continuity between the incoming and outgoing connections of
the piggyback plug while raising and lowering the float.
OPERATION TESTING
Testing Manual Pump Operation
11
Testing Manual Pump Operation
Pump models 6-CIM, 6-CIM-R, and 6-CBM are manual pumps.
For automatic operation of a manual pump, a separate float switch or other liquid level control may be used.
If a float switch or level control has been added, refer to “Testing Automatic Pump Operation” on page 9 for
test procedure.
1. Connect a discharge hose to the pump's discharge port.
2. Place pump into a basin or test reservoir.
3. Direct the opposite end of the discharge hose back into the basin or test reservoir so the water dis-
charged from the hose during testing will be contained within the basin or test reservoir.
Secure the hose to prevent the water pressure created during testing from causing the hose to exit
the basin or test reservoir.
4. If there is a gate valve on the discharge line, be sure the valve is open.
5. Using a separate water source, fill the basin or test reservoir until the pump is fully submerged.
Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the
pump.
Do not overfill the basin or test reservoir.
6. If the pump is provided with an attachment plug on the power cord, plug the pump's power cord into a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle with voltage consistent with the pump voltage, as
indicated on the pump nameplate.
If the pump is hardwired, turn on the circuit breaker for the pump's power circuit.
7. Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended.
8. If pump is not functioning as intended, disconnect power from the pump and refer to “Troubleshoot-
ing” on page 13. If the solution still cannot be found, please contact the place of purchase or an autho-
rized service center.
9. If the pump is functioning as intended, disconnect power from the pump before attempting to remove
it from the basin or test reservoir.
Risk of bodily injury or damage to pump or other equipment.
Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of
water is to be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during operation and discon-
nected from power before the pump runs dry.
If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. Failure to install control in compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes
and within manufacturer’s recommendations may result in electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfac-
tory performance, or equipment failure.

1 Excepto los modelos CB
Esta unidad tiene voltajes elevados que
son capaces de provocar lesiones
graves o muerte por descarga eléctrica.
Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica, desconecte la ener-
gía antes de trabajar en el sistema o cerca de él. Es posible que
sea necesario más de un interruptor de desconexión para cortar
la energía del equipo antes de realizarle un mantenimiento.
Este producto viene con un conductor a tierra y un enchufe con
conexión a tierra. Para reducir el riesgo de descarga eléctrica,
asegúrese que se conecte solo a un receptáculo del tipo con
conexión a tierra que esté conectado apropiadamente a tierra.
No retire la tercera punta del enchufe. La tercer punta es para
conectar la bomba a tierra con el fin de evitar posibles peligros
de descarga eléctrica. No use un cable de extensión.
Asegúrese de que esta bomba esté conectada a un circuito
equipado con un dispositivo interruptor de circuito por falla de
conexión a tierra (GFIC).
Cablee el sistema de bombeo para los voltajes correctos.
Riesgo de daños a bomba u otros equipos.
No use esta bomba para bombear agua de mar, bebidas, ácidos,
soluciones químicas u otros líquidos que provoquen corrosión,
ya que eso puede dañar la bomba. 1
No haga funcionar vacía la bomba. Para una refrigeración
óptima y prolongar la vida útil del motor, el nivel de líquido que
se bombee debería estar comúnmente por encima de la parte
superior de la carcasa de la bomba.
Esta bomba no es apta para aplicaciones en estanques.
Riesgo de lesiones corporales,
descargas eléctricas o daños al
equipo.
Este equipo no deben usarlo niños ni personas con capacidades
físicas, sensoriales o mentales reducidas, ni aquellos que carez-
can de experiencia y capacitación, salvo que estén bajo supervi-
sión o instrucción. Los niños no podrán usar el equipo ni jugar

DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO
Esta bomba sumergible está diseñada para uso en cuencas o estaciones de bombeo y es apta para bombear
agua limpia. No use la bomba en aplicaciones donde haya efluentes (aguas residuales), aguas servidas u
otro tipo de desechos (gravilla, arena, desechos flotantes, etc.), materiales abrasivos o materiales corrosi-
vos. Las bombas del sumidero se pueden canalizar para descargar en el sistema de drenaje de la casa, a un
pozo seco, a una canaleta o a un desagüe pluvial, según los códigos locales de plomería. La bomba viene
con una descarga con rosca para tubería hembra de 1½" y un cojinete reductor de 1¼" FNPT. Estas bombas
se encuentran disponibles en versiones tanto automática como manual.
El motor de la bomba está equipado con un protector térmico de reinicio automático y puede reiniciarse de
manera inesperada. La activación del protector térmico indica que el motor está sobrecargado o sobreca-
lentado, lo cual puede deberse a problemas de la aplicación, como un impulsor obstruido de la bomba, un
interruptor atascado en la posición de encendido, una marcha en seco de la bomba, una bomba obturada
por aire, un ciclo corto de la bomba, una alimentación de voltaje excesivamente alta o baja, o bien una
bomba, motor, cojinetes- o sello que tal vez hayan llegado al final de su vida útil.
Este producto está cubierto por una garantía limitada durante un período de 3 anos desde la fecha original
de compra por parte del consumidor. Para obtener información completa sobre la garantía, consulte

Instalación física
1. Instale la bomba en el centro de un recipiente adecuado que tenga al menos 18 pulg. (46 cm) de diá-
metro y 24 pulg. (61 cm) de profundidad de acuerdo con los códigos locales de plomería.
NOTA: Los modelos con interruptor de diafragma pueden utilizarse en cuencas de 10in (25.4cm) de
diámetro.
Limpie los residuos del recipiente y coloque la bomba en e centro del recipiente
Consulte Instalación típica” en la página 19.
2. Coloque el conjunto de la bomba y el depósito sobre una superficie dura y nivelada.
Nunca coloque la bomba directamente sobre arcilla, tierra o superficies de grava. Estas superficies
contienen pequeñas piedras, gravas, arena, etc. que pueden obstruir o dañar la bomba y causar
fallas en esta.
No restringir el lateral de acceso de estas bombas. Al restringir el acceso puede ocasionar daños en
el sello y en la bomba.
3. Instale la tubería de descarga.
Las tuberías de descarga deben ser lo más cortas posible y contener la menor cantidad de codos
posible.
Nunca reduzca el tamaño de la tubería a un diámetro menor que el de descarga de la bomba.
Use un compuesto de unión de tubo en todas las conexiones.
Sostenga la bomba y la tubería durante el ensamblaje y cuando estén instaladas. Si esto no se rea-
liza, la tubería se puede romper, la bomba puede tener fallas, los cojinetes del motor pueden tener
fallas, etc.
Si requiere de velocidades de flujo reducidas, coloque una válvula en el lateral de descarga de la
bomba. O bien, si se usan tuberías flexibles de vinilo, se puede usar una abrazadera en las tuberías
para restringir el flujo.
Instale una unión en la línea de descarga, justo por encima de la cubierta del recipiente, para poder
retirar fácilmente la bomba para limpiarla o repararla.
4. Instale una válvula de retención de flujo total en la línea de descarga horizontalmente para prevenir el
reflujo de líquido al depósito.
Si se instala verticalmente, los sólidos pueden asentarse dentro de la válvula y evitar que se abra
durante el arranque.
5. Perfore un orificio de alivio 1/8 pulg. (0,31 cm) o 3/16 pulg. (0,47 cm) de diámetro en la tubería de des-
carga debajo de la línea de piso entre la descarga de la bomba y la válvula de retención.
Riesgo de lesiones graves o muerte por descarga eléctrica.
Siempre desconecte la alimentación eléctrica antes de tocar la bomba o descargue.
Verifique los códigos locales de electricidad y de edificación antes de la instalación. La instalación se debe lle-
var a cabo de acuerdo con las regulaciones, así como también con el Código Eléctrico Nacional vigente (Natio-
nal Electrical Code, NEC).
Riesgo de daños materiales por inundaciones.
A menos que se proporcione el orificio de alivio en la tubería de descarga, la bomba podría “bloquear el aire”
y no bombeará agua, aunque sí funcionará.
Una válvula de retención faltante, mal instalada o que funcione mal puede provocar que la bomba realice
ciclos cortos debido al reflujo del fluido bombeado desde la tubería de descarga hacia la cuenca, lo que acor-
tará significativamente la vida útil de la bomba.
