Item 56599 
        

26.  Periodically inspect the pump and system 

components to ensure the pump suction screen 
is free of mud, sand, and debris.  Disconnect the 
pump from the power supply before inspecting.

27.  Follow all local electrical and safety codes, along 

with the National Electrical Code (NEC).  In 
addition, all Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration (OSHA) guidelines must be followed.

28.  The motor of this pump has a thermal protector that 

will trip if the motor becomes too hot.  The protector 
will reset itself once the motor cools down and an 
acceptable temperature has been reached.  The 
pump may start unexpectedly if it is plugged in.

29.  Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or 

excess wear, which could cause leaks, and ensure 
the hose is not kinked or making sharp angles.  A 
straight hose allows the pump to move the greatest 
amount of water quickly, and also check that all 
hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.

30.  This pump is made of high-strength, 

corrosion-resistant materials.  It will provide trouble-
free service for a long time when properly installed, 
maintained, and used.  However, inadequate 
electrical power to the pump, dirt, or debris may 
cause the pump to fail.  Please carefully read 
the manual and follow the instructions regarding 
common pump problems and remedies.

31.  This pump is fully automatic in operation. If 

the water level is over 2 in., the water detector 
senses water.  Then the control system built in 
the pump automatically starts the pump and the 
pump continues to run until water is pumped down 
to 3/4 in. deep, and then it stops.  If the water 
level is not over 2 in., the pump will not start.

32.  Electric shock hazard! GFCI receptacles will provide 

protection against line to ground faults only.  The 
ground fault receptacle does NOT limit the magnitude 
of fault current and will NOT prevent an electrical 
shock.  Replace damaged cord immediately.

33.  Risk of electric shock.  This pump has NOT 

been tested for use in marine areas.

34.  Do not move, position, retrieve, or carry pump 

using the power cord or the discharge hose, 
damage to the pump or power cord may occur. 
Use the handle supplied on the pump or attach a 
string to the strainer to position as instructed.

35.  The warnings, precautions, and instructions 

discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all 
possible conditions and situations that may occur.   
It must be understood by the operator that 
common sense and caution are factors 
which cannot be built into this product, but 
must be supplied by the operator.

Fluid Type

The Pump is designed for use with water at a maximum temperature of 95° F (35°C) and minimum of 32° F (0° C).  
Do not use the pump for other fluids, especially not fuels, cleaning fluids, or other chemical products.
