SUBMERSIBLE UTILITY PUMP INSTALLATION
DANGER:
Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns,
unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
DANGER:
Always disconnect power source before attempting to install, service, or maintain the pump. Never handle
a pump with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. Connect the Garden Hose
Attach a 3/4 in. garden hose to the pump outlet. Use a garden hose
that is no longer than 25 ft.
2. Plug in the Pump
Place the pump on a hard surface in water that is at least 1-1/2 in.
deep. Do not place the pump directly on sand, dirt, or mud. Plug
the pump into a properly grounded 115V GFCI outlet. Be sure the
plus is secure and will not fall into the water. The pump should
start immediately.
If you need to pump water that is less than 1-1/2 in. deep, use the
Transfer function of the pump with the Suction Strainer – see next
page.
3. Operating the Pump
Allow the pump to run and monitor its progress. Unplug the
pump when it has removed water down to approximately 1/2 in.
CAUTION:
Do not run the pump dry. Operating the pump
without water will cause damage to the seals and will cause the
pump to fail, which voids the pump’s warranty.
The pump may still run even when it is not pumping water.
Monitor the pump’s progress and promptly unplug the pump
before it runs dry to avoid damaging the motor.
