Installation
1. The pump should be located and should rest on a level solid foundation. Do not suspend the pump by means of a discharge pipe or power
cord. Keep the pump inlet screen clear.
2. Thread the outlet pipe into the pump body carefully to avoid stripping or crossing threads.
A. To install with a garden hose, install the adapter provided with the pump.
NOTE
:
To keep friction as low as possible, hose must be 3/4 in. or larger. Keep hose as short as possible.
B. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap the threads with pipe thread sealant tape. Screw the pipe into the pump hand tight +1
- 1-1/2 turns.
3. Power Supply: This pump is designed for 115V, 60 HZ. operation and requires an individual branch circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity.
It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. For safety, pump should always be
electrically grounded to a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire
system. Do not cut off the round grounding prong.
WARNING
:
Risk of fire and explosion. Can cause severe injury, property damage or death. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump
water only with this pump.
WARNING
:
Risk of sudden starts. Can cause electrical shock and personal injury. The pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting
thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping is indication of motor overloading as a result of operating the pump at low
heads (low discharge restriction), excessively high or low voltage, inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or
pump.
Operation
WARNING
:
Risk of electric shock
.
Can shock, bur nor kill. Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a
wet or damp surface, or in water. Disconnect the power from the pump before handling, servicing, or attempting to repair the pump.
1.
The pump must be standing in at least 1 in. (25.4mm) of water before starting it. The shaft seal is water lubricated and may be
damaged if the pump runs dry.
2.
After starting, the pump will lower the water level to1/8 in. (3.2mm) before losing suction. It will not pick up water less than 1/8 in.
deep when running and will not operate successfully if started in only 1/8 in. of water.
3.
Do not leave the pump unattended! If the pump has been operating satisfactorily and the discharge stream suddenly stops coming out
of the hose, stop the pump immediately; do not allow it to run dry. A mop or squeegee will be needed to remove remaining water.
4.
The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector will
stop the motor before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload protector will reset itself and the motor will
restart.
NOTE:
If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check it to find the problem. Low
voltage, long extension cords, clogged impeller, too much back pressure in the discharge hose (as when pumping through 50 ft. (15 M) of
coiled hose), or running the pump with no load, can all cause excessive cycling and overheating.
5.
Do not try to run the pump continuously when the water level is below 4 in. (102mm) or about 1/3 of the way up the motor casing, as it
will overheat. If the motor overheats and the overload stops the pump, allow it to cool for one hour before restarting. Motor will not
restart before the overload has cooled.
