pairdamaged orworncords immediately.
15. D onot
touch an operating motor. Modem motors can op-
erate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or
when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
I Ax WARNING ] Risk of electric shock. If your basement
has water or moisture on the floor, do not walk on wet
area until all power has been turned off. If shut-off
box is in basement, call the electric company to shut-
off service to the house, or call your local fire depart-
ment for instructions. Remove pump and repair or
replace. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fatal electrical shock.
INSTALLATION
[_&WARNING ]Do not use power cord to lift motor. Al-
ways use handle,
NOTICE: Do not use this pump in ponds containing plants
or fish.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The Pump has a 3-prong electric plug. The third prong is
used to ground the pump to prevent possible fatal shock.
The third prong should never be removed. Your electrical
outlet should be the 3-prong, polarized type v4th an inter-
nal ground.
A separate 15 amp GFCI branch electrical circuit is recom-
mended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Testing for Ground
For your safety, check your outlet for ground using a Circuit
Analyzer. (Figure A). A Circuit Analyzer will tell you by a pat-
tern of llghrs ffthe power, neutral, and ground wires are cor-
rectly connected to your oudet. It can also be used to check
other outlets in your home. A Circuit Analyzer is available in
the Sears Electrical Department.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid
foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of discharge
pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet sereen clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid
stripping or crossing threads.
a. To install with 3/4" garden hose, install adapter pro-

vided vdth pump.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread
with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*. Screw pipe
into pump hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
NOTICE: Do not try to disassemble pump farther than re-
moving inlet screen. Any evidence of tampering v_ill void
warranty.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V, 60 Hz opera-
tion and requires a circuit of 15 amperes or more capac-
ity. It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with
grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet.
3 wire extension cord, of at least 14 AWG (2mm z) size is
suggested, with larger sizes for runs over 25 ft (7M). For Figure B
safety, pump should always be electrically grounded to a
suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe
or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire
system. Do not cut off the round grounding prong.
[_'WARNING_The
pump motor is equipped with
automatic resetting thermal protector and may re-
start unexpectedly. Protector tripping is indication
of motor overloading as a result of operating pump
at low heads (low discharge restriction), exces-
sively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, in-
correct motor connections, or a defective motor or
pumtp.
