INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS - PRESSURE BOOSTING

WARNING: If the nozzle on the discharge is shut off for an extended period of time, this may
cause damage to the pump and/or hose and will void the warranty. If the nozzle is closed for more
than 5 seconds, you must turn off the pump.
CAUTION: In order to properly boost pressure, your inlet water pressure must be between 11 PSI
and 29 PSI.
1. Installing the pump:
a. Threaded hose fi ttings (B) are furnished for
attaching garden hoses (sold separately). Wrap
threads of the hose fi ttings with thread tape
before threading into pump (C).
b. The inlet (2) and discharge lines (1) can be regular
garden hoses (sold separately).
c. Connect a double female hose connector (sold
separately) to the suction side (2) of the pump.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - TRANSFERRING WATER

WARNING: This unit is not waterproof or weatherproof and is not intended to be used in showers,
saunas, or other potentially wet locations. The motor is designed to be used in a clean, dry location
with access to adequate cooling air. Ambient temperatures around the motor should not exceed
104˚F (40˚C).
1. Prime and run the pump:
Note: The pump must be fi lled with water before
operation. Running the pump dry will cause damage to
the shaft seal and will void the warranty.
a. Remove the priming plug (A) and fi ll the pump (C)
with water. Wrap plug threads with thread tape
(sold separately), then re-thread the plug into the
priming port. All connections must be air tight. A
single leak will prevent proper operation of the
pump and may cause the pump to run dry. This
will void the warranty.
b. Insert the inlet hose (with strainer (D) attached or
a 3/4 in. foot valve) into the water to be removed.
c. Plug the power cord into a GFCI protected
electrical outlet. The pump will prime in a
few minutes depending on the suction line length.
d. To turn the pump off, unplug the power cord.
