Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
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.

Length 25 ft
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.
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

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).
3. Plug power cord into GFCI protected electrical outlet. The
pump will prime in a few minutes depending on suction line
length. Use of foot valve on suction line is recommended.
4. In the case of pressure boosting, turn water on before starting
pump. This force primes the pump. Then, plug power cord into
GFCI protected electrical outlet.
