Figure E - Pull Across pump removal (top view)
E1. Disconnect power to pump. Using the included 25 ft. rope, safely
pull pump to edge of pool, disconnect discharge hose and remove.
Never use power cord to position, carry or
retrieve the pump.
will be pumped.
Do NOT handle pump with wet
hands or when standing in water
damp surface when the unit is operating or fails to operate.
disconnect pump power cord from power source before
handling. Do NOT bury cord. Visually locate cord to prevent
caused by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. Failure to do so
WILL result in fatal electrical shock.
5. The water level must be at least 2-1/8 inches for the
pump to cycle, prime, and operate. Water levels less
than 2-1/8 inches will not allow the impeller to contact
water therefore no water will be pumped.
6. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI
protected outlet. The pump will start automatically when
the water reaches a depth of 2-1/8 inches. A priming
delay of 2 seconds is programmed into the control to
allow time for air to escape from the pumping chamber.
Use caution when positioning the pump not to
damage the power cord by dragging across the edge of the
pool. Also take into consideration the placement of the discharge hose and power cord
after installation. Make sure no sharp edge can damage the power cord or discharge
hose causing unsafe conditions.
7. The pump will stop automatically once water has been
removed to a depth of approximately 3/4 of an inch. The
pump will NOT restart until the water depth rises to 2-1/8
inches or greater.
8. The pump will NOT allow itself to run dry. Once the pump
detects that water is no longer being removed, it will shut
down automatically. The pump must remain upright at all
times in order for the water detection to function. Do NOT
allow the pump to operate on its side or inverted The shaft
seal depends on water for lubrication, allowing the pump
to remain in any other orientation than upright could cause
shaft seal failure or pump failure.
Do NOT alter the pump to override the automatic
water detector. The shaft seal depends on water for
lubrication. Overriding this pump feature CAN cause the pump to run dry and MAY
damage the shaft seal and cause pump failure.

to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance.
Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor
housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires
no service. If pump should fail to operate, perform the
following troubleshooting guidelines:

MAINTENANCE

1. Verify pumping height does NOT exceed 13 feet (See
Figure A). If pumping height is greater than 13 feet, this
pumps automatic feature will not operate correctly.
2. Verify water depth is 2-1/8 inches or greater.
3. To verify pump is operating correctly.
a. Disconnect pump from power source.
b. Connect hose adapter/check valve and discharge
hose to pump.
c. Immerse pump in a bucket or tub of water at least
or on a
2-1/8 inches in depth.
ALWAYS
d. Place the other end of the discharge hose outside
damage the bucket, so the water will pump out.
e. Plug power cord into a grounded 120 volt GFCI
power outlet. The pump should start after 2 seconds
of detecting water. Once the pump removes the
water to a depth of 3/4 inch, the pump will stop
automatically.
f. If pump appears to turn on but not move water
unplug power cord and proceed to step 4. if pump
does NOT operate, unplug power cord and proceed
4. To verify discharge hose is free from a lockage:
maintenance step 5.
a. Connect hose to another water source such as
a faucet. If water flows through hose, return to
step 3a. If water is restricted, verify discharge

5. Periodic cleaning is required to maintain performance of
the pump. Follow the cleaning steps listed below:
a. Disconnect pump from power source.
b. Remove the strainer.
c. Remove the four (4) base screws (Figure 1).
d. Remove the base and impeller plate.
e. Remove the debris and make sure the impeller turns
freely.
f. Reinstall impeller plate, base, screws, and strainer.
