GENERAL SAFETY

INFORMATION

1. Know the pump application, limitations, and
potential hazards.

Do not use in explosive
atmospheres. Pump water only with this pump.
Failure to follow this warning can result in per­sonal injury and/or property damage.

2. Make certain that the power source conforms to
the requirements of your equipment.

3. Disconnect power before servicing.

4. Secure the discharge line before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip,
possibly causing personal injury and/or property
damage.

5. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before
each use, making certain that all connections are
secure.

6. Periodically inspect pump and system compo­nents. Perform routine maintenance as required
(See MAINTENANCE Section).

7. Provide a means of pressure relief on pumps
whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.

8. Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when work-

ing with pumps.

b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and prop-

erly lighted – replace all unused 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.

9. This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (sin­gle phase) and is equipped with an approved 3­conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type
plug.

To reduce the risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected to a prop­erly grounded, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected, grounding-type receptacle.
Do not lift pump by the power cord; always lift
it by the handle.

Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encoun­tered, it must be replaced with a properly
grounded, GFCI protected, 3-prong receptacle
installed in accordance with all applicable
codes and ordinances.

10. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords
immediately.

11. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors
can operate at high temperatures.

12. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60

HZ. operation and requires a circuit of 10
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. To reduce risk
of electrical shock, plug pump into a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Consult a local
electrician for availability and installation. For
safety, circuit 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.

OPERATION

Risk of electric shock. Do not han­dle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.

1. Hand tighten 90-degree garden hose discharge

adapter into top of pump.

2. Thread garden hose onto adapter hand tight.

Then turn one quarter turn tighter with pliers to
seal. Make sure the washer is in the end of the
garden hose.

3. Straighten out the garden hose as much as

possible.

Maintenance / Repair Parts 3

For parts or assistance, call Simer Customer Service at 1-800-468-7867

4. Use the hose, not the power cord, to position the
pump on the pool cover and to retrieve the
pump when finished. Make sure that the pump
stands on its feet while running and that it is in at
least 2-1/2” of water (the pump loses prime at 2­1/4”).

5. With pump submersed in the water, plug the
pump into a GFCI outlet.

6. Monitor water level on the pool cover to be
ready to unplug the pump before it runs dry.

7. The motor is thermally protected. This means
that the pump will shut off before damage from
overloading can be done to the motor. Low volt­age, long extension cords, clogged impeller, very
low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.

8. This pump will pump water down to 2-1/4"; this
means that it will not remove all water. If unit has
been operating and suddenly no water comes
out of discharge hose, shut off unit immediately.
Water level is probably very low and unit has
broken prime. Use mop or squeegee to remove
remaining water.

9. Pump depends on water for lubrication. Do not
operate pump unless it is in at least 2-1/4” of
water as pump may be damaged if allowed to
run dry.

Risk of electric shock. Before
attempting to check why unit has stopped oper­ating, disconnect power from unit. Do not han­dle pump with wet hands or when standing on
wet or damp surfaces, or in water. Failure to fol­low this precaution can result in personal injury
or death and/or property damage.

MAINTENANCE

Risk of electric shock. Make cer­tain that the pump is unplugged before attempting to
service or remove any component.

1. Unplug the pump and remove it from the pool

cover.

2. Remove the hose.

3. Dry the pump and cord.

4. Squeeze the sides of the screen together (Key

No. 4) and pull it away from the pump. Screen
will unsnap and come off.

5. Remove foam filter (Key No. 3) and wash in

soapy water.

6. Rinse and reassemble.

To clean the impeller:

1. Remove screen (Key No. 4) as described above.

2. Grasp nose of pump (Key No. 2) and twist coun-

terclockwise. Front plate will come off, bringing
