this warning can result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
2. Disconnect power before servicing.
3. Release all pressure within the system before servicing
any componeht.
4. Drain water from the system before servicing.
5. Secure the discharge line before startlng the pump. An un-
secured discharge line will whip, possibly causing per-

6. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use,
making ce_ain that all connections are secure.
7. Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Perform routine maintenance as required (See
MAINTENANCE, Page 4).
8. Provide a means of pressure relief for pumps whose dis-
charge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
9. Personal Safety:

pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
lighted - replace aLlunused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof - with padlocks, master
switches, and by removing starter keys.
10.When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow elec-
trical and safety codes, as well as the most recent National
Electrical Code.
11.This equipment is onty for use on 115 volt (single
phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-con-
ductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
[AWARNING]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 ground-
ing-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.

pair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can op-
erate 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.
IAWARNINGI Risk of electric shock. 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 depart-
ment for instructions. Remove pump and repair or
replace. Failure to follow this warning can result in
fatal electrical shock.
INSTALLATION
[A WARNINGIDo not use power cord to lift motor. Al-
ways 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 pro- Figure A
vided with pump.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread
with Teflon tape or use Plasto Joint Stik*. Screw pipe
into ptmlp hand fight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
NOTICE: Do not try to disassemble pump farther than re-
moving inlet screen. Any evidence of tampering will void
warranty.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for l15V, 60 Hz opera-
tion and requires a circuit of 15 amperes or more capac-
ity. 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 (2ram _)size is
suggested, with larger sizes for rims over 25 ft (7M). For Figure B
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.
The Pump has a 3-prong electric plug. The third prong is
used to ground the pump to prevent possible fatal shock2
The third prong should never be removed. Your electrical
outlet should be the 3-prong, polarized type with an inter-
nal ground.
A separate 15 amp GFCI branch electrical circuit is recom-
mended. 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 pat-
tern of lights ff the power, neutral, and ground wires are cor-
rectly 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.

[AWARNING ]The pump motor is equipped with
automatic resetting thermal protector and may re-
start unexpectedly. Protector tripping is indication
of motor overloading as a result of operating pump
at low heads (low discharge restriction), exces-
sively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, in-
correct motor connections, or a defective motor or
pump.
