This pump must be plugged into a properly

installed, and grounded GFCI outlet in accordance with all applicable codes and
ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are not
sure the outlet is grounded. If the pump should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from
the user.

Cette pompe doit être branchée dans une prise
correctement installée et une prise équipée d’un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre,
conformément à tous les codes et règlements applicables. Ne jamais retirer la

de prises d’adaptateur. Vérifier avec un électricien qualifié que la prise est bien
mise à la terre. Si la pompe présente un dysfonctionnement électrique ou une
panne, la mise à la terre fournit un chemin de faible résistance pour éloigner
l’électricité de l’utilisateur.

DESCRIPTION

This portable, Auto On-Off Submersible Mult-Use Pump is designed
for automatic removal of water. The units are equipped with a 10 ft.
3-prong grounding type power cord and its 3/4 in. adapter can be
used for convenient attachment to a standard garden hose.

APPLICATION AND OPERATION

PUMPING HEIGHT

When water is pumped to an elevated position, any volume that has
not reached the discharge outlet can flow back through the pump
when the pump shuts off. This back-flow can cause the water level in
small areas to rise enough to re-start the pump.

1. This pump has been designed with a 3/4” garden hose discharge
connection. Thread the female end of the garden hose to the
male end of the garden hose adapter.

2. Use a hose washer (not included) on the garden hose for correct
pump operation.

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. With pump unplugged set the pump where water will collect. Do
not set the pump directly on mud, sand surfaces or in leaves. For
best results make sure the strainer base is making full contact
with a clean area. This will allow the strainer to properly filter
debris and help prevent clogging of the pump. If necessary clear
an area before placing the pump.

5. The water level must be at least 5/8 inches for the pump to prime,
and operate. Water levels less than 5/8 inches will not allow the
pump to prime, therefore no water will be moved.

6. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI protected
outlet. If the water level is greater than 5/8 inches the pump
will start once plugged in. A priming delay of 2 seconds is
programmed into the control to allow time for air to escape from
the pumping chamber.

MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor

housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires no internal
service or lubrication.

1. Keep pump inlet clean and free of all foreign objects. Inspect
inlet at beginning of each use.

2. Periodic cleaning is required to maintain performance of

the pump.

Follow the cleaning steps listed below:

a. Disconnect pump from power source.
b. Remove debris collected around the inlet cover and inlet

plate.

c. Remove debris collected around the switch housing.

STRAINER

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. To verify pump is operating correctly follow the steps below:

a. Disconnect pump from power source.

b. Follow periodic cleaning steps.

c. Set pump upright on a level surface.

d. Plug power cord into a grounded 120 Volt GFCI power

outlet. Pump should turn on, run for 2 seconds, and then
shut off.

NOTE: If pump does not turn on/off as indicated in step 1d follow
switch cleaning steps.

2. Verify pumping height does NOT exceed 23 feet (See Figure A).
If pumping height is greater than 23 feet, this pumps automatic
feature will not operate correctly.

3. Auto on, verify water depth is a minimum of 1-5/8 inches.

4. Pump prime, verify water depth is a minimum of 5/8 inches.

TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT’D)

5. When temperatures drop below freezing, remove pump from

service and store indoors to protect pump from damage due to
ice. The pump has a unique protection circuit to protect the motor
from a locked impeller condition possibly caused by debris buildup
or from a “frozen” impeller situation caused by ice formation. When
the pump is activated and a locked impeller condition is detected
the unit will automatically shutdown to protect the motor from
overheating. The pump will continue this on/off cycle for a period
of time to attempt to “free” the impeller until eventually the unit
will remain off for a period of 12 hours checking twice a day for a
“freed” impeller. Once the pump is able to operate correctly the
pump will resume normal operation. To reset this delay without
waiting 12 hours momentarily unplug the pump.
