OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND PARTS MANUAL
ABOVE GROUND PUMP INSTALLATION
To aid in pump placement on pool cover, secure provided 25 ft. rope
to the pull to shore loop (Figure B).
Figure B - Pull to shore loop
Connect provided 25 ft. rope to pull to shore loop (see Figure B) and
discharge hose to the pump.
Figure C - Above Ground Installation
Place pump on pool cover near edge of pool (see Figure C). If
floatation device is used under the pool cover, place pump at the
lowest point on the pool cover where water will collect.

D1. Holding the provided 25 ft. rope, walk around pool until you are
even with the pump on the opposite side.
D2. Pull the 25 ft. rope towards you until the pump is in the center
of the pool cover where water will collect. Secure rope for easy
removal (see Figure E) when weather permits. Plug in pump to
allow for automatic operation.
ABOVE GROUND – PUMP REMOVAL
Figure E - Above Ground Pump Removal
Disconnect power to pump. Using the included 25 ft. rope, safely
pull pump to edge of pool, disconnect discharge hose and remove.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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.
NOTE: Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor housing
of the pump is completely sealed and requires no internal service or
lubrication.
