3. Drain all liquids from system before
servicing.
secure the
discharge line
before starting the pump. An unsecured
discharge line MAY whip. Personal
injury and/or property damage CouLD
result.
4. Periodically inspect pump and
system components, checking for
weak and/or worn hoses. Insure all
connections are secure.
Pump motor is
equipped with an
automatic resetting thermal protector
and MAY restart unexpectedly.
Protector tripping is an indication
of motor overheating because of
operating pump at low heads (low
discharge restriction), excessively high
or low voltage, inadequate wiring,
excessive surrounding air temperature,
inadequate ventilation, and/or defective
motor or pump.
5. Provide a means of pressure relief in
the case of an obstructed discharge
line.
6. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. avoid kinking the
cord and replace damaged cords
immediately.

Installation

ALWAYs disconnect power
source before attempting to
operate, service, or maintain
the pump. neveR handle a pump with
wet hands or when standing on wet
or damp surface or in water. Fatal
electrical shock WILL occur.
1. a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required.
Risk of electrical shock!
this pump is supplied with
a grounding conductor and
grounding type attachment plug. A
grounded receptacle in conformance
with current neC and local codes must
be used (see Figure 1).

2. This pump operates on 115V, 60 Hz
aC, single phase or 115V DC.
3. Use an extension cord only if
necessary. Follow the extension Cord
Length Table for proper gage of
3-wire, grounding type extension
cord.
Risk of fatal electrical shock.
neveR cut off the round
grounding prong. Cutting the
cord or plug WILL void the warranty and
make the pump inoperable.
4. Figure 2 shows a typical installation.
Threaded adapters are furnished
for attaching garden hose where
conditions permit its use. In no case
should the pump be more than
15 feet above or away from water
source. Install a foot valve when
suction lift is over 10 feet or when
suction line is over 10 feet long.

5. The inlet line may be galvanized
pipe, plastic pipe, or reinforced hose.
Small leaks in suction line greatly
reduce efficiency of pump and may
prevent priming.
RESET
under suction pressure and shouLD
not be used for the inlet line, except in
pressure boosting applications.
6. Use a strainer when pumping from a
creek, pond, or source where foreign
objects may be sucked into the
pump. The strainer should prevent
solids from entering the inlet line.
7. a regular garden hose may be used
as a discharge line.

Operation

operation. Running the pump dry WILL
cause damage to the shaft seal.
1. 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).
2. Remove priming plug and fill with
water. Replace plug (plumbers seal
tape should be used on priming plug
to prevent air leaks).
