Risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
pull plug before servicing. This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas. This
pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. Be certain that it is
connected only to a properly grounded grounding-
type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
12. All wiring should be performed by a
qualified electrician.
13. Make certain that the power source conforms to the
requirements of your equipment.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill.
Do not use power cord to lift motor. Always use handle.
NOTICE Do not use this pump in ponds containing plants
or fish.
1.
Pump should be located and should rest on level
solid foundation. Do not suspend pump by means
of discharge pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet
screen clear.
2.
Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid
stripping or crossing threads.
a.
To install with 3/4" garden hose, install adapter
provided with pump.
b.
To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap
thread with PTFE pipe thread sealant tape. Screw
pipe into pump hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
NOTICE Do not try to disassemble pump farther
than removing inlet screen. Any evidence of
tampering will void warranty.
Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V, 60 Hz

operation and requires a circuit of 15 amperes or
more capacity. It is supplied with a 3-wire cord
set with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire,
grounded outlet. 3 wire extension cord, of at least
14 AWG (2mm²) size is suggested, with larger sizes
for runs over 25 ft (7M). For safety, pump should
always be electrically grounded to a suitable electrical
ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly
grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system.
Do not cut off the round grounding prong.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock,
burn or kill. The pump motor is equipped with
automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can
operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands
or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or
in water.
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. If your basement has water or moisture on the floor,
do not walk on wet area until all power has been turned
off. If shut-off box is in basement, call the electric company
to shut-off service to the house, or call your local fire
department for instructions. Remove pump and repair or
replace. Failure to follow this warning can result in fatal
electrical shock.
INSTALLATION
unexpectedly. Protector tripping is indication of motor
overloading as a result of operating pump at low
heads (low discharge restriction), excessively high
or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor
connections, or a defective motor or pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The Pump has a 3-prong electric plug. The third prong is
used to ground the pump to prevent possible fatal shock.
The third prong should never be removed. Your electrical
outlet should be the 3-prong, polarized type with an
internal ground.
A separate 15 amp GFCI branch electrical circuit is
recommended. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
TESTING FOR GROUND
For your safety, check your outlet for ground using a Circuit
Analyzer (Figure A). A Circuit Analyzer will tell you by a
pattern of lights if the power, neutral, and ground wires
are correctly connected to your outlet. It can also be used
to check other outlets in your home. A Circuit Analyzer is
available in the Sears Electrical Department.
