Operating Instructions and Parts Manual TSC
Do not pump flammable or
explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use
in a flammable and/or explosive environment. Pump only clear water.
Personal injury and/or property damage will result.
Risk of electric shock! This
pump has not been tested for
use in swimming pool areas. Never
place pump in pools while people are
in the water.
Do not handle pump with wet
hands or when standing in
water or on a damp surface.
Risk of electric shock! This
pump is supplied with a
grounding conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a grounded
receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal
electrical shock.
This pump con-
tains dielectric
motor oil for motor heat transfer.
Care should be taken when disposing
of this oil. Do not use this pump in
ponds or fountains because the motor
oil can be harmful to aquatic life.
2. Wear safety glasses at all
times when working with
pumps.
3. It is strongly recommended
that this unit be plugged into a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI). Consult a local electrician
for installation and availability.
4. Do not use the power cord or dis-
charge hose to carry or handle the
pump. Damage to the power cord
or discharge hose may occur. Use
the lifting ring supplied on the
pump.

Installation and Operation
Always disconnect
electric supply
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
If the power source is out of sight, lock
and TAG IN OPEN (OFF) POSITION to prevent unexpected power application.
Failure to do so could result in fatal
electrical shock!
This unit is not designed for
use in septic tanks or underground vaults to pump raw sewage or
effluents. Never use in hazardous or
explosive locations.
1. This pump has been designed to
attach to a standard garden hose.
Thread the female end of the garden hose to the male discharge on
the pump.
2. To reduce leakage between the
pump and the hose, place a hose
washer (not included) on the garden hose before installing to the
pump.
3. For best pump performance,
unwind the hose before starting the
pump. This will help remove any
kinks or binds in the hose and allow
the unit to pump with less
restriction.
4. Set the pump on a hard surface in
the water. Do not set the pump
directly on mud or sand surfaces.
This will cause the inlet screen to
clog.
5. The water level must be at least 1/2
inches for the pump to operate.
Water levels less than 1/2 inches will
not allow the impeller to contact
water and no water will be
pumped.

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Installation and Operation
(Continued)
Do not handle pump with wet
hands or when standing in
water or on a damp surface when the
unit is operating or fails to operate.
Always disconnect pump power cord
from power source before handling.
6. Plug the power cord into a grounded 115-volt AC power outlet. The
pump will start operating as soon as
the power cord is plugged into the
power outlet.
7. The pump will remove water down
to 1/8 inches of the hard surface the
pump was placed on.
8. The pump should be turned off
once the water level reaches the
1/8-inch mark.
Do not allow
pump to run dry.
The shaft seal depends on water for
lubrication. Operating pump without
water will damage the shaft seal and
cause pump failure.
Maintenance
Always disconnect electric
supply before attempting to
install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance. Failure to do so
could result in fatal electrical shock.
Minimal service is required for this
pump. If pump should fail to operate,
perform the following troubleshooting
guidelines:
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 could result in fatal electrical
shock.
2. Verify pump is operating correctly.
a. Disconnect pump from power
source.
b. Disconnect discharge hose from
pump.
c. Immerse pump in a bucket or tub
of water.
d. Plug power cord into a grounded
115 volt AC power outlet. If
pump operates correctly proceed
to step #3. If pump does NOT
operate, unplug power cord and
proceed to maintenance guideline item 4 in this section.
3. Verify discharge hose is correctly
installed.
a. Connect hose to another water
source such as a faucet. If water
flows through hose, proceed to
step 3b. If water is restricted, verify discharge hose is unwound.
Remove all kinks, bends or
obstructions in hose.
b. Verify pumping height does NOT
exceed 25 feet (See Figure 1). If
pumping height is greater than
25 feet, this pump will NOT work.
4. Periodic cleaning of pump is
required to maintain performance
of the pump. Follow the cleaning
steps listed below:
a. Unplug the power cord.
b. Remove the 3 screws at the bot-
tom of the pump.
c. Remove the volute cover. Note
the alignment marks.
d. Remove the gasket. Note how
the openings in the gasket align
with the openings in the pump
base.
e. Remove the debris and make sure
the impeller turns freely.
