Safety Guidelines
Safety Precautions
Single-phase 208/230V pumps shall only be operated without
the float switch by using the circuit breaker or panel
disconnect.
Energizing the control panel or breaker for the first time is
potentially dangerous. Licensed electrical personnel should
be present when the panel or breaker is energized for the first
time. If faults caused by damage or poor installation practices
have not been detected, serious damage, injury or death can
result when power is applied.
X8 and X-D Extension Installation
Before installing the X8 or X8-D basin extension, the pump and
cover must be removed from an assembled Pro-Series system.
1. Remove the small access cover that is secured by 6 fasteners.
2. Remove the QuickTree
®
(float rod and floats) from the basin
by lifting the unit out of its holder.
3. Unscrew the fasteners securing the main cover to the tank. In
order to remove the main cover, it must be separated from
the PVC discharge pipe. This can be done by rotating the
cover back and forth while pulling upward.
Re-assembly:
1. The short length of pipe and the coupling must be “glued” to
the current discharge pipe(s).
2. Place the pump(s) with pipe into the basin and position it
within the torque stops. (The torque stops are the three round
pockets located at the bottom of the basin.) Each leg of the
pump should be inside one of the pockets.
3. Install the threaded stainless steel studs in tank (finger-tight)
until they bottom out in the threaded inserts. Standard
systems use 8 studs; XL systems require 16 for proper sealing.
4. The rubber gasket seal can now be placed over the studs and
seated onto the tank’s rim.
4a. For 8 bolt systems, it is highly recommended that
the installer apply liberal amounts of sealant (such
as silicone) on both sides of the rubber gasket seal
surface to ensure proper sealing.
5. Lower the extension over the studs until it is firmly seated on
the rubber gasket seal.
6. Install the stainless steel flange nuts on the studs and torque
to 40 in-lbs. IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten.
7. Re-attach the main cover. To facilitate assembly, wet the PVC
pipe with soapy water and insert into the rubber seal under
the cover. The cover can be twisted back and forth while
pushing down until the cover meets the extension. Re-attach
the cover with the same screws that were removed. Note:
XL-systems will have 16 screws.
8. A new, longer QuickTree rod is provided with the X8/X8-D
extension. Remove the floats from the original QuickTree rod
by loosening the screw on the clamp. For systems with an
optional alarm, two floats need to be removed.
9. Re-attach the float(s) to the new, longer QuickTree
rod
referencing Figure 5 or Figure 6 (according to system).
IMPORTANT: It is critical that the tether length remains the
same after re-installation. The tether length is the cord
distance from the clamp to the top of the float ball.
