If that is the cycle desired, simply circle the discharge <br />pipe with the pipe mounting strap, feed the end through the <br />worm drive, and tighten with a screwdriver. Be certain that the <br />level control cannot hang up or foul in it's swing. Also, make <br />certain the top of the pump is still submerged when the level <br />control is in the 'off' mode. <br />3) If a higher pump differential is needed, grip the cord near <br />the neck of the float, then using the other hand, exert a <br />steady force on the lower edge of the cable clamp. The cable <br />clamp should slide up to the new pivot point. Attach the level <br />control to the discharge hose in the manner described above. <br />4) Plug the level control plug into the receptacle, then plug <br />the pump into the piggyback plug. One cycle of operation <br />should be observed, so that any potential problems can be <br />corrected. <br />5) It is recommended that the float should be set to insure <br />that the sump well liquid level never drops below the top of <br />the motor housing. <br />,.)

It is <br />recommended that a junction box, if used, be mounted outside <br />the sump or be of at least Nema 4 (EEMAC-4) construction if <br />located within the wet well. Do not use the power or control <br />cable to lift pump. NOTE: The white wire is NOT a neutral <br />or ground lead, but a power carrying conductor. <br />C-4.2) Overload Protection . <br />C-4.2-1) Three Phase (Optional) - The normally closed <br />(N/C) thermal sensor is embedded in the motor windings and <br />will detect excessive heat in the event an overload condition <br />occurs. The thermal sensor will trip when the windings become <br />too hot and will automatically reset itself when the pump motor <br />cools to a safe temperature. it is recommended that the thermal <br />sensor be connected in series to an alarm device to alert the <br />operator of an overload condition, and/or the motor starter coil <br />to stop the pump. In the event of an overload, the source of this <br />condition should be determined and rectified immediately. DO <br />NOT LET THE PUMP CYCLE OR RUN IF AN OVERLOAD <br />CONDITION OCCURS! <br />
