GENERAL SAFETY
Electrically powered utility pumps normally give many
years of trouble-free service when correctly installed,
maintained, and used. However, unusual circumstances
(interruption of power to the pump, dirt/debris, flooding
that exceeds the pump’s capacity, electrical or mechanical failure in the pump, etc.) may prevent your pump
from functioning normally. To prevent possible water
damage due to flooding, consult your retailer about a
secondary AC pump, a DC backup pump, and/or a high
water alarm. See the “Troubleshooting Chart” in this
manual for information about common pump problems
and remedies. For more information, see your retailer or
call Simer customer service at 1-800-468-7867.
1. Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
Risk of fire or explosion. 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 power source conforms to requirements
of your equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing
any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components.
Keep pump and system free of debris and foreign
objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose discharge line can be shut-off or obstructed.
10.Personal Safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working
with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly
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, mas-
ter switches, and by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all
electrical and safety codes, as well as most recent
National Electrical Code (NEC) and Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly.
12. Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. This equipment is only for use on 115
volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected to properly grounded,
grounding-type receptacle.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it
must be replaced with properly grounded 3-prong
receptacle installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
13.All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
14.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace
or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
15.Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop
at motor. Refer to most recent National Electrical
Code.
16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can
operate at high temperatures.

DESCRIPTION
The submersible pump is designed for water removal in
drainage basins, aquariums, hot tubs, cisterns, basements
and flooded areas. Pump can be used for emergency service and dewatering. Unit is constructed of hi-impact
corrosion resistant plastic. The screened inlet prevents
large solids from entering pump.
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for applications involving salt water or brine! Use with salt water or brine will
void warranty.

Installation / Operation 3
INSTALLATION
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. Do not use power cord to lift motor.
Always use the handle.
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. Use a standard 3/4" garden hose or a 1" ID hose for
the side discharge.
NOTICE: To keep friction as low as possible, hose
must be 3/4" or larger. Keep the hose as short as
possible.
3. If, in your application, backflow is a problem when
the pump stops, prevent it by installing a 1" NPT
check valve in the pump discharge pipe.
4. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ.
operation and requires an individual branch circuit
of 15 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. A 3 wire extension cord, of
at least 14 AWG (2mm2) size is suggested, with larger sizes for runs over 25 ft (7M). For safety, the 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.
Personal injury. The pump motor is
equipped with automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. The protector trip-
ping is an indication of motor overloading as a result
of operating pump at low heads (low discharge restriction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a
defective motor or pump.

OPERATION
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or
cause death. Do not handle pump or pump motor with
wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or
in water. Disconnect power from pump before handling
or servicing pump.
The Geyser JuniorTMis fully automatic in operation. The
pump will continue to run until the water is pumped
down to 3/8" deep, and then it stops.
NOTICE: When you plug the pump into the wall
outlet, it will operate continuously, whether partly or
fully submerged.
1. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too
hot, the overload protector will stop the motor
before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled
sufficiently, the overload protector will reset itself
and the motor will restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump
repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and
check it to find the problem. Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, too much back pressure
in the discharge hose (as when pumping through 50’
(15 M) of coiled hose), or extended running of pump
with no load, can all cause overheating.
2. The water being pumped cools the motor, allowing
the pump to run continuously at any depth of water
above 3/8". However, if the motor overload stops the
pump, allow it to cool for one hour before restarting.
Motor will not restart before the overload has
cooled.
MAINTENANCE
A clogged inlet can reduce the pump’s performance. A
clogged inlet screen can usually be cleaned out by back
flushing with a garden hose through the pump’s discharge pipe.
