INSTALLATION 

 

CAUTION:

 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. 

1. Connecting a 3/4 in. garden hose  

 

Attach a 1 in. female adaptor (B) to the pump discharge. 

 

Attach a garden hose with a 3/4 in. garden hose thread (not included) to the adaptor. 

 

NOTE:

 Be sure the 3/4 in. garden hose thread connector has a rubber gasket to 

minimize water leaks. 

NOTE: 

The  larger  the  inside  diameter  and  the  shorter  the  length  of  hose,  the  less 

pressure that is lost (or the larger the flow rate). 

 
 
 

2. Connecting a 1-1/4 in. hose kit  

If you would prefer to use a 1-1/4 in. hose kit (not included) in order to pump water away 

more quickly. 

 

Attach the adaptor (B) to the pump (A) discharge. 

 

Securely attach the hose kit (not included) to the adaptor (B).  

 

WARNING: 

Secure  the  discharge  hose  before  plugging  in  the  pump.  An  unsecured 

discharge hose may 

“whip” possibly causing personal injury, and/or property damage. 

 

 OPERATION 

1. Plugging in the pump 

 

Place the pump on a solid base in flooded area or any place that you 

would like to remove water. Plug the pump into a 115 volt GFCI power 

outlet

 

WARNING: 

Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or when 

standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water. 

NOTE:

 Place upright on a solid base.

 

NOTE: 

The pump must be standing in at least 1 in. (25.4 mm) of water before 

you start it.  

2. Operating the pump 

 

Allow the pump to run and monitor its progress.

 

 

Unplug the pump when it has removed water down to 

approximately 1/ 4in. (6.4 mm). 

 

Remove the pump and hose from the location when finished 

pumping. The hose still has water that can drain back through the 

pump. Remove remaining water with a squeegee, mop, sponge, 

towel, wet/dry vacuum, etc. 

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, thereby voiding the pump’s warranty.
