LOCATION OF UNIT
Locate pump as near as possible (vertically) to water
source, to keep suction lift (distance from water to pump) as
low as possible. Place pump on a level support. Protect
against excess moisture and flooding.
PIPING
Both suction and discharge ports are tapped for 3/4" pipe.
If using hoses, use hose to pipe thread adapter. To prevent
suction line collapse, use pipe or reinforced hose only for
suction line. Install a strainer or puddle gulper on end of
suction line. Inspect and clean strainer frequently (see
Figure 1). Plastic pipe can be used for all installations.
PRIMING/OPERATION
NOTICE: Do not run pump dry. Running pump without
water can damage impeller and may damage seal, causing
leaking or flooding, and will void warranty.
All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure suction
lift is not more than 15 feet. Fill pump body through priming
port before starting pump. Start pump; it should pump water
in under 10 minutes (depending on length of suction hose
and height of pump above water).
Puddle Gulper Operation Instructions
1. Maximum hose length with Puddle Gulper: 10 Ft.
Maximum suction length with Puddle Gulper: 10 Ft. Be
sure all suction joints are air-tight.
2. If puddle gulper clogs or begins to suck air, STOP
PUMP. Pump will not reprime automatically when using
Figure 1: Typical Installation
Puddle Gulper and can burn out if run dry. Clean strain-
er frequently.
DO NOT try to pump down area any more after puddle
gulper has broken prime.
DO NOT try to restart pump until pump has been refilled
through priming port.

equipped with a 3-wire, grounded, cord and plug. Do not
modify or remove plug. Plug in to a properly grounded,
grounding type outlet only. Make sure that pump circuit
meets National Electrical Code. To avoid dangerous elec-
trical shock hazard, keep cord dry at all times.
