PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS

1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit is damaged, contact your dealer before
using. Do Not remove the test plug in the cover.

2. Carefully read the literature provided to familiarize yourself with specic details regarding installation and use. These materials

should be retained for future reference.

SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS

1. Make sure there is a properly installed ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected circuit available. All pumps are
furnished with provisions for proper grounding to help protect you
against the possibility of electrical shock.

2. Make certain that the ground fault receptacle is within the reach
of the pump’s power supply cord DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION
CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver

sufcient voltage to the pump motor. But, more important, they

could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become
damaged or the connection ends were to fall into the sump and
become wet.

3. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses
or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is
recommended, sized according the National Electrical Code for the
current shown on the pump name plate.

4. TESTING FOR GROUND. As a safety measure, each electrical
outlet should be checked for ground using an Underwriters
Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate if the power,
neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If

they are not, call a qualied licensed electrician.

5. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should

only be performed by a qualied licensed electrician.

6. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING.

7. These pumps are supplied with a 3-prong grounded plug to help
protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO NOT
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND
PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted in a mating 3-prong
fault interrupter receptacle. If the installation does not have such
a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired, and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all
applicable local codes and ordinances.

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

9. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains
chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.

1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the
voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump
name plate.

2. These pumps are not designed or intended to be used to handle

sewage or efuent.

3. This pump has been evaluated for use with WATER only.

4. Maximum continuous operating water temperature for standard
model pumps must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

Note: Pumps with the "CSA" mark are tested to CSA Standard
C22.2 No. 108.

PERFORMANCE

Your pump is designed to effectively pump clear all storm and drain
waters. Although it will usually pass small particles suspended in
water, grass, heavy mud, sand or pea gravel can clog the pump
and reduce pump performance. This can usually be cleaned out by

backushing with a garden hose through the discharge. The normal

performance that can be expected is as follows:

LIMITED WARRANTY

This product is warranted for one year from the date of purchase or two years from
the date of manufacture, whichever occurs first. Subject to the conditions hereinafter
set forth, the manufacturer will repair or replace to the original consumer, any portion
of the product which proves defective due to defective materials or workmanship. To
obtain warranty service, contact the dealer from whom the product was purchased.
The manufacturer retains the sole right and option to determine whether to repair or
replace defective equipment, parts or components. Damage due to conditions beyond
the control of the manufacturer is not covered by this warranty.

THIS WARRANTY WILL NOT APPLY: (a) To defects or malfunctions resulting from
failure to properly install, operate or maintain the unit in accordance with printed
instructions provided; (b) to failures resulting from abuse, accident or negligence or
use of inappropriate chemicals or additives in the water; (c) to normal maintenance
services and the parts used in connection with such service; (d) to units which are not
installed in accordance with normal applicable local codes, ordinances and good trade
practices; and (e) the unit is used for purposes other than for what it was designed and
manufactured.

RETURN OF WARRANTED COMPONENTS: Any item to be repaired or replaced
under this warranty must be returned to the manufacturer at Kendallville, Indiana or
such other place as the manufacturer may designate, freight prepaid.

NOTE: Ratings based on 1-1/4" pipe with friction loss neglected.
Using 3/4" garden hose adapter, performance will be reduced
approximately 15%. This pump does not deliver enough pressure to
operate lawn sprinklers properly.

OPERATION

1. Set pump on hard surface in water before starting.

2. Use the included garden hose adapater for 3/4" discharge line
or disconnect the adapter to use a 1" discharge for 1/6 HP or a
1-1/4" discharge for 1/4 HP.

3. Plug power cord into properly grounded 115 volt AC power
outlet. (See recommended grounding methods on front page).
Will operate continuously whether partly or fully submerged.
Submersible utility pumps are intended to pump clean or dirty

water or water-like liquids at temperatures up to 104˚ F.

4. The pump is supplied with a 3/4" garden hose adpater. For use
with plastic pipe, remove the adapter and install the desired

1" or 1-1/4" NPT tting. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE HOSE

OR PLASTIC ADAPTER FITTING. Finger tight plus 1/2 turn is

sufcient.

NOTE: These pumps are manufactured with an air vent hole
near the base of the pump to prevent the pump from air-locking.
Air-locking will prevent the pump from pumping water. A stream
of water will be visible from this hole while the pump is running
and pumping water. The hole should be checked and cleaned
as needed.

Do not set pump directly on sand, dirt or mud.
Sand or mud-choked pumps can be back-

ushed clean.

Do not handle or carry the pump by the power
cord. Use the handle.

Extended usage of the pump in a partially

submerged or non-submerged situation may
cause the pump to overheat due to lack of heat dissipation from
the water. If this occurs, the pump will shut itself off until the motor
cools to its normal temperature. Repeated overheating may cause
damage to the pump.

THE WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS
WARRANTIES, AND MAY NOT BE EXTENDED OR MODIFIED BY ANYONE. ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTIES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD OF THE LIMITED
WARRANTY AND THEREAFTER ALL SUCH IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE
DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT, UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR
SPECIAL DAMAGES, SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGE TO, OR LOSS
OF, OTHER PROPERTY OR EQUIPMENT, LOSS OF PROFITS, INCONVENIENCE
, OR OTHER INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR
NATURE. THE LIABILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER SHALL NOT EXCEED THE
PRICE OF THE PRODUCT UPON WHICH SUCH LIABILITY IS BASED.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights which
vary from state to state. Some states do not allow limitations on duration of implied
warranties or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations
may not apply to you.

WARRANTY VALID IN CANADA AND MEXICO.

MAINTENANCE

1. The motor housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires
no service. Disassembly of the motor housing or alteration of the
power cord voids all warranty.

2. The motor is a continuous duty type with an automatic thermal
overload protector device.

3. The pump can run against a partially restricted discharge.

4. If the pump becomes clogged, remove the screen and clean out
the area.

5. If necessary, remove the eight (8) screws holding the volute base
to the motor housing and clean the volute.
