3.4 Collegamento del tubo di scarico
Connect a 1-1/4 inch NPT discharge pipe to the pump's outlet. It is recommended to install a check valve in the discharge line to prevent water from flowing back into the sump pit when the pump turns off.
3.5 Regolazione dell'interruttore a galleggiante
The pump features an adjustable float and rod type switch. Adjust the float to set the desired ON and OFF levels for the pump. Ensure the float can move freely without obstruction within the sump pit.
3.6 Collegamento elettrico
Plug the 8 ft. power cord with a grounded plug into a properly grounded 115V AC electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is protected by a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI).
4. Istruzioni per l'uso
The Everbilt SCN250-LQ pump operates automatically based on the water level in the sump pit, controlled by its adjustable float switch.
4.1 Funzionamento automatico
Once properly installed and plugged in, the pump will turn on automatically when the water level rises and lifts the float switch to the 'ON' position. It will continue to pump water until the level drops and the float switch reaches the 'OFF' position.
4.2 Prestazioni
This 1/3 HP pump is capable of moving up to 2,400 gallons per hour (GPH) at a 10-foot lift. Its non-corrosive thermoplastic reinforced housing and heavy-duty, high-efficiency permanent split capacitor motor with thermal overload protector ensure reliable performance.
5. Manutenzione

- Ispezione mensile: Periodically check the sump pit for any accumulation of debris, dirt, or sediment that could obstruct the pump's inlet or the float switch.
- Controllo dell'interruttore a galleggiante: Manually lift the float switch to ensure it moves freely and activates the pump. The pump should turn on when the float is raised and turn off when it is lowered.
- Linea di scarico: Verify that the discharge pipe is clear and free of obstructions. Ensure the check valve (if installed) is functioning correctly.
- Alloggiamento della pompa: Inspect the pump's thermoplastic housing for any signs of damage or cracks.
- Cavo di alimentazione: Check the power cord for any fraying, cuts, or damage. Replace if necessary.
