SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
Always make sure the pump is unplugged as soon as the water level reaches 1/4 in.. At water levels
less than 1/4 in., the pump is attempting to pump air, which will cause the pump to overheat and wear
out. Running the pump without sufficient water will damage the pump and void the pump's warranty.
Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in
the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can
cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
Always disconnect the pump from its power source before inspection.
Do not stand in water when the pump is connected. Do not handle pump with wet hands.
Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT and can cause
serious skin burns.
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal parts, and
disassembling may cause an oil leak or dangerous electrical wiring issues
CAUTION
This submersible utility pump is designed for portable applications. It can drain or remove water
from the following: pits, sinks, window wells, basements, swimming pool covers, boats, low
spots in yards, or other flooded areas. This pump has not been tested or approved for use in
swimming pools or in salt-water marine areas.
This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free
service for many years when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate
electrical power to the pump, or blockage by ice, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to fail,
potentially bringing about additional water damage. To minimize the potential for water damage
due to pump failure, please read the section of this manual regarding common pump problems
and remedies or call 1-888-538-0082
This pump is not designed to function as a permanently installed sump pump. It is also not
engineered to be run continuously as a "fountain" or "waterfall" pump. Because this pump has
an oil-filled motor, it should NOT be used in water containing fish. The pump should be used with
a 5/8 in. or larger inside diameter garden hose, or use with hose kit.
For safety, the pump motor has an automatically resetting thermal protector that automatically
will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and
void the warranty.
Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow
the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.
Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2.
Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3.
ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before
servicing.
4.
Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud and sand during
operation to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent clogging and premature pump failure.
5.
Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured
discharge hose to "whip", possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6.
Before using the pump, check hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and be
sure hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the
greatest amount of water quickly.
7.
Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8.
Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9.
Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present
a life-threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall
into water.
