Installation / Operation 5
Piping
Both the suction and discharge ports are tapped for 1" BSP
threads. If using hoses, use a hose adapter. See Figure 1.
Do not use a hose on the suction if pumping from lakes,
streams or ponds. The hose will collapse and cause pump
failure. Install a strainer with the foot valve on the end of
the suction line. Inspect and clean the strainer frequently
(Figure 1).
NOTICE: An air leak in the suction pipe may draw air in
although no water leaks out. Make sure there are no air leaks
or air pockets in the suction pipe.
BOOSTING CITY WATER PRESSURE
Hazardous pressure. Never run the pump
against a closed discharge. To do so can boil
the water inside the pump, causing hazardous pressure in
the pump possibly causing the discharge hose to burst with
danger of scalding persons nearby. See Figure 2.
When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use only a
reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the discharge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters to the pump
suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require two
female ends. Use a standard washing machine
supply hose as a suction line (See Figure 1).
Lawn Sprinkling Application
Connect the suction hose to the faucet on the outside of
the house (see Figure 3) and to the pump suction. Use a
standard garden hose for discharge. The pump can supply
up to 3-4 sprinklers (depending on GPM output of the
sprinklers).
Electrical
Hazardous voltage. Risk of dangerous or
fatal electric shock. Plug the pump into a 115
Volt, 60 Cycle, Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)
protected grounded outlet only. The pump is equipped with
a 3-wire, grounded, cord and plug. Do not modify or remove
the plug. Make sure the pump circuit meets the National
Electrical Code (in USA) or the Canadian Electrical Code (in
Canada). To avoid dangerous electrical shock hazard, keep
the cord dry at all times.
If using an extension cord, use the table below to size the
extension cord.
Lubrication
The motor is lubricated at the factory for the life of
the bearings. The pump seal is water cooled and self
lubricating.
Pump Service
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or cause
death. Unplug the pump before servicing it.
Do not handle the pump or attempt to work on the pump
with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp floor.
The motor has an auto-reset thermal overload protector. If
the motor overheats, the overload will cut off the power to
prevent damage and will reset after the motor cools. If the
overload trips repeatedly, check the pump for the cause (low
voltage, a clogged impeller, etc.).
