PREPARATION
Attach the pump (A) to a sturdy base (table, board, etc.) to prevent it from tipping over. Make sure the
hoses are as straight as possible.
5.
WARNING:
This pump CANNOT be submersed in water, and the motor
CANNOT get wet at all. Getting the motor wet could cause
electrocution, which could lead to serious injury or death!
NOTICE:
DO NOT coil or kink the hose
To operate, plug the pump (A) into a GFCI outlet.
6.
NOTICE:
This pump can be very loud when plugged in. THIS
IS NORMAL. Once water begins to pump, the noise will
dissipate. When the water level has been reduced to
approximately 1/8 in., you MUST UNPLUG THE PUMP. DO
NOT RUN DRY. The pump will be EXTREMELY LOUD when
the pump is no longer pumping water.
NOTICE:
If water is not pumped in 30 seconds, unplug the
power cord and check the connection on the two ends of the
inlet hose to make sure there are no air leaks. Then, add
water into the inlet again and repeat the process.
