tions provided with the pump. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specica-
PUMP USE AND CARE
• Do not place pump under water or in wet areas.
Place pump in dry locations only.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do NOT connect conduit
to pump.
• This pump has been evaluated for use with clear
water only. It is not designated to handle salt
water, brine, laundry discharge, or any other
application which may contain caustic chemicals
and/or foreign material. This pump is not suitable
for use with aquatic life. Pump damage or failure
could occur if used in these applications and will
void the warranty.
• Do not pump ammable or explosive uids such
as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use
in a ammable and/or explosive atmosphere.
Personal injury and/or death could result.
• Not for potable water or other potable liquids.
• Do not pump water with a temperature over 60°C
(140°F). Do not pump sand, particulate, or large
debris. Damage to the pump will occur.
• Do not allow pump to run dry for more than
10 seconds. Turn off pump quickly when job is
complete. Damage to the pump could occur.
• Do not allow this pump to operate unattended.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury and/or death.
•Do not pump water from a creek, pond, or source
where foreign objects may be sucked into the
pump. Solids may enter the inlet hose.
•Always remove battery pack before attempting
to install or service the pump. Never handle pump
with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface or in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
•Secure the discharge hose before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge hose may whip.
Personal injury and/or death could result.
• Do not use the pump if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any pump that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Always remove battery pack from the pump
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
• Maintain pump and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the pump’s operation. If damaged, have the pump
repaired before use. Accidents can be caused by
a poorly maintained pump.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of ammable liquids,
gases or dust. Motors create sparks which will
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating pump. Distractions will result in
mistakes.
• Indoor use only.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating this pump. Do
not attempt to operate this pump while you are
tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention may result in
serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair could be caught
in moving parts.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control in unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard
hat must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
• Recharge only with the charger specied by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use pumps only with specically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modied. Damaged or modied batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or tem-
perature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specied in the instructions. Charging im-
properly or at temperatures outside the specied range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
SERVICE
• Disconnect the battery pack from pump. Release
all pressure within the system before servicing
any component.
• Drain all liquids from system before servicing.
• Periodically inspect pump and system components, checking for weak and/or worn hoses.
Check impeller for wear or blockage. Ensure all
connections are secure.

Page 3
• When servicing a pump, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorised parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or
injury and may void the warranty.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the pump
or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.

•
Use hoses with 19mm (3/4") BSPT brass female
fitting.
•
A heavy duty hose should be used for the inlet
hose to prevent the hose from collapsing. For best
results, use a short length, large diameter hose,
such as a 183cm (6') long, 19mm (3/4") inner
diameter garden hose. Longer or thinner hoses
may reduce performance and flow rate.
• A regular garden hose may be used as an outlet
hose.

• Thread the inlet and outlet hoses onto the pump.
OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
with side shields.
Always remove battery before attempting to
install, service, or maintain the pump.
Pump should only be used to pump clear wa-
ter. Do NOT pump salt water, brine, laundry
discharge, or any other application which may
contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign material. Do NOT pump sand particulate, or large
or explosive atmosphere.
Do not place pump under water or in wet areas.
Place pump in dry locations only.
This pump is designed for applications such as
emptying water heaters, tanks, etc. The pump is not
waterproof or weatherproof and is not intended to be
used outdoors or inside showers, saunas or other
potentially wet locations.
1. Attach inlet and outlet hoses.
2. Place inlet hose below water surface, aiming as
near as possible to the middle of the water source.
3. Lay out inlet and outlet hoses to ensure there are
no blockages, kinks or bends.
4. Secure outlet hose to ensure it does not whip around
or move unexpectedly when pumping begins.
5.
6. Insert battery pack.
7. Turn on pump.
8. Keep pump inlet clean and free of all foreign
objects. Inspect inlet at beginning of each use.
9. As soon as the pump begins to take in air, turn
off pump.
10. Do NOT allow pump to run dry. Damage to the
pump could occur. To prevent pump damage, a
dry pump may shut off automatically within 60
seconds. Turn pump off to reset.
11.
For best results, the pump should be no more
than 5.5 m (18’) above the inlet source. The
maximum discharge height is 23 m (75’).
NOTE: If anything but clear water is accidentally
pumped, flush with clear water for at least 30
seconds.
12. Do not block air vents. If overload occurs, due to
overheating, a jammed impeller, etc, turn off the
pump immediately. Pump may shut off automatically. Clear the jam and allow the tool to cool before restarting. Turn pump off and back on to reset.
13. Do not run the pump for more than 1 hour continu-
ously.
14. When done, remove inlet and outlet hoses and
pour any excess water from the pump. To remove
