GENERAL SAFETY
Carefully read and follow all safety instructions in this manual and on pump.
Keep safety labels in good condition.
Replace missing or damaged safety labels.
To avoid serious injury and/or property damage, read and follow these rules and instructions carefully.
1.Pump is designed for use with clean, cold, fresh water. Pump water only with this pump.
2.Do not lift pump by power cord at any time. Attempting to lift or support the pump by the power cord can damage the cord and cord connections, and will void warranty. Always lift the pump by the lifting handle.
3.Meet National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical Code, and local codes for all wiring.
4.Installation must comply with all local codes pertaining to utility pumps.
5.Know the pump application, limitations, and potential hazards.
6.Disconnect the power before servicing.
7.Release all pressure within the system before servicing any component.
8.Drain all water from the system before servicing.
9.Secure the discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
10.Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.
11.Periodically inspect the pump and system components. Keep the pump inlet free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine maintenance as required.
12.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 work area.
d.Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master switches, and by removing starter keys.
13.This equipment is only for use on 115 volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved 3-conduc- tor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. To reduce risk of electric shock, pull plug before servicing. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas. Pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. Be sure it is connected only to an individual branch circuit with a properly grounded grounding-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 codes and ordinances that apply.
14.Make certain power source conforms to requirements of your equipment.
15.Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn cords immediately.
16.Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to operate at high temperatures.
17.Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water.
18.Do not use in water where fish are present.

INSTALLATION
1.Install the pump on a hard level surface. Make sure that the pump cannot pick up rocks, mud and debris, etc. If neccesary, put a block under the pump to raise it slightly. See Figure 1.

OPERATION
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
1.The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not operate the pump unless it is in water as the seal may be damaged if allowed to run dry.
2.The motor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal protector. If the temperature in the motor should rise unduly, the switch will cut off all power before damage can be done to the motor. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the switch will reset automatically and restart the motor. If the protector trips repeatedly, remove the pump and check it as to the cause of difficulty. Low voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, very low head or lift, etc., could cause cycling.
3.The pump will not remove all water. If the pump is operating and suddenly no water comes out of the discharge hose, shut off the unit immediately. The water level is probably very low and the unit has broken prime.
NOTICE: For continuous operation, water must flow through pump to prevent motor overheating. The pump is cooled by the water flow through the housing.
4.This pump is designed to pump cold water only. Pumping heated liquids can overheat the motor and cause the thermal overload to trip.
5.Pump can run when water doesn’t completely cover the motor housing, but the inlet must be completely submerged or it will break suction, will not move any water, and may damage the shaft seal.
6.Keep the pump inlet clean at all times. If the ground or surface where the pump sits is dirty, raise the pump slightly to reduce the amount of debris pulled into the pump inlet.
