Before start-up, note the following:

The pump must be connected to a GFCI protected plug which has been installed according

to regulations. The plug must have a supply voltage of 120 VAC at 60 Hz.

CAUTION

This pump has been evaluated for use with fresh water only.

WARNING

IMPORTANT! For your own safety –
before starting to run the pump, please have
the following items checked by an expert:

1. Risk of electric shock – This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding-type
attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding-type receptacle.

2. Risk of electric shock – This pump has not been
investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

3. The electrical connections must be
protected from moisture.

4. If there is danger of flooding, the electrical
connections must be taken to higher ground.

5. Circulation of caustic fluids, as well as the circulation
of abrasive materials, must be avoided at all costs.

6. The pump must be protected from frost.

7. The pump must be protected from running dry.

8. Access by children should also be
prevented with appropriate measures.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only
on portable self-contained fountains.

10. POSITION OF PUMP:

To avoid the possibility of the pump plug or
receptacle getting wet, position pump to one
side of a wall mounted receptacle to prevent
water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug.
The user should arrange a “drip loop” in the
cord connecting the pump to a receptacle.

Pump

The “drip loop” is that part of the cord below the level
of the receptacle, or the connector if an extension
cord is used, to prevent water traveling along the
cord and coming in contact with the receptacle.

11. To prevent death from electric shock,

pump must be connected only to a GFCI
protected outlet.

12. Do not use an extension cord with this item.

13. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

14. The warnings, precautions, and instructions
discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that may occur.
It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but
must be supplied by the operator.

Fluid Type

The Pump is designed for use with fresh water with a maximum temperature of 95° F (35°C) — do not use for

heated liquids. Do not use the Pump for other fluids, especially not fuels, cleaning fluids, or other chemical
products. Do not use to pump salt water, highly chlorinated water, or water with a high pH level.

Installation

The submersible motor pump must be installed in a stationary position with either:

a. A fixed pipeline or

b. A flexible hose pipe.

6 FT. minimum

6 IN. minimum

1. Submerge the pump under water to
prevent the pump from taking in air.

2. The pond must be at least 6 feet
away from the receptacle.

3. To reduce wear on the pump, place the
pump on a platform above mud, sand,
small rocks, and other debris.

4. If running with fountain jets, the pump must be

mounted firmly and horizontally on a platform.

5. Connect a discharge hose (not included)
to the Hose Adapter (3).

6. Connect the free end of the discharge hose to a
waterfall basin, or similar device (none included).

Please note!

1. Do not install the pump by suspending it
unsupported from its delivery pipe or power cord.
The pump must be suspended from the handle
or be placed on the bottom of the basin.
To ensure that the pump works properly, keep the
bottom free from sludge and dirt of all kinds.

2. If the water level sinks too low, any sludge in the
basin will dry out and stop the pump from starting.
To help ensure the pump will start as required,
check the pump regularly with start-up tests.

Power Supply

1. The Pump is equipped with a shock­proof plug according to regulations. The
Pump is designed to be connected to a

120 VAC, 60 Hz GFCI protected socket.

2. Make sure that the socket is sufficiently
secured and is in excellent condition.

3. When the plug is inserted into the socket,
the pump will be on standby.

4. WARNING: To prevent death from electric

shock, pump must be connected only to
a GFCI protected outlet.

WARNING! If the power cord or plug is damaged,
