SAFETY GUIDELINES
WARNING: Your pump is an electrical product and caution should
be used when handling the pump or its electrical cord. Small children
or pets may require restraining devices to prevent them from entering
wet areas surrounding the pump or its power supply connections.
1. This product is provided with a three-prong grounding plug, to
reduce the risk of electrical shock. When pump is in operation,
make sure it is properly connected to grounded outlet.
2. Never pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with this pump.
This could damage the integrity of the enclosure and cause an
electrical short.
3. Do not run this pump dry. Running this pump without water may
damage the integrity of the enclosure and cause electrical short.
4. If service is required, proceed carefully. The pump and surrounding
areas may be covered with water. Never plug or unplug the device
while standing on wet or damp surfaces. If necessary, remove
power at the breaker panel or have certified electrician remove
power before attempting to service. Serious or fatal shocks could
result if proper procedures are not followed:
a. Disconnect the power at the main electrical service box, by
switching the appropriate circuit breaker or removing fuse. In
applications where screw type fuses are used, remove only
with one hand while other hand or torso are free from contact
with anything. Do not stand in water and do not touch any
other conductive surfaces.
b. Remove pump cord plug only after the power to the supply
outlet has been removed. See Service Instructions before
proceeding.
5. Remove pump when conditions will cause water to freeze.
Freezing water may result in cracking or distortions and could
result in possible electrical short or sensor failure.
6. Never pump gasoline or other low flash point fluids with this
pump. Explosion or fire could result.

CAPACITY SIZING INFORMATION
The 500 GPH performance was obtained through a one inch I.D.
tube, with friction losses neglected. Using a 5/8" garden hose, 50
feet long, reduces this performance to approximately 200 gallons
per hour due to friction losses in the garden hose.
INSTALLATION
1. Be certain electrical outlet to be used meets the requirements
of the National Electric Code, as well as local electrical codes,
including grounding, and GFCI protection. Also verify that outlet
is properly sized and located for this pump. Your installation
may require a certified electrician or plumber. See ElECTRICAl
CoNNECTIoNS section.
2. If necessary, check your local plumbing codes to verify that final
installation will be in compliance with their requirements.
3. Remove pump from carton.
4. Connect tubing to discharge thread.
5. Place pump in water, sensors pointed down (Fig. 1)
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: Always disconnect the electrical power before touching
the pump, discharge, or electrical plug when water is present in
the area. Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury and/or
property damage. Always connect pump to grounded receptacle
(see SAFETY GUIDElINES section).
1. Your pump is supplied with a three-prong electrical plug. The
third prong is to ground the pump to prevent possible electric
shock hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
2. A separate branch electrical circuit is recommended. The
electrical power required is 5 amps at 115 VAC.
3. Be sure that the electrical connection cannot be reached by
rising water. Under no circumstances should the connection be
located where it may become flooded or submerged by water.
4. Test the pump after all electrical connections have been made.
Run water into the area where the pump is to be placed. Do not
attempt to operate the pump without water; this could result in
permanent damage to the pump. Fill the area to a normal oN
level and allow the pump to remove water to a normal oFF level.
