Installation
Receiving Inspection
Upon receiving the pump, it should be
inspected for damage or shortages.
If damage has occurred, file a claim
immediately with the company that
delivered the pump. Do Not lose or
misplace the manual.
Pump Setup
The power cable mounted to the pump
must not be modified in any way. This
pump is provided with a 3 wire cord
and 3 prong grounded plug that must
be connected into a 3 wire grounded
receptacle. Do not bypass grounding
wires or remove ground prongs from
plug. An extension cord can be used as
long as the cord thickness is equal to or
larger than the power cord.
Make sure the power source is properly
sized for the voltage and amperage
requirements of the motor, as noted on
the pump nameplate.
Pump performance will be hindered if
the inlet hose is over 15 feet long or if
the vertical pumping distance exceeds
10 feet. There should be no kinks,
blockages or bends in the inlet or outlet
hoses.
An overload condition may occur due
to overheating, low voltage, jammed
impeller, etc. which will shut the
pump off. Unplug the pump and wait
approximately 10 minutes. Once the
pump cools it will automatically reset.
The PFUEG comes with 6 foot of 3/4”
garden hose and a suction adaptor. The
pump can be used with or without the
adapter.
To aid priming of pump, add 1/2 teaspoon
of light oil to pump inlet and outlet.
Attach suction hose provided to inlet and
garden hose to outlet. Gasket must be
inplace to insure that these connections
are airtight or pump will not prime.
Place the open end of the inlet hose
below water surface. The suction adaptor
may be used to pump shallow water
or water with large particles. Place the
adaptor at the center of the water being
pumped.
With pump in a dry location, connect to 3
prong grounded receptacle. If pump fails
to deliver water disconnect from power
source and repeat Pump Setup.
Impeller Replacement
Disconnect pump from power source
before servicing.
1. Remove four screws (1) from plate (2).
2. Remove Front Cover Plate (3) and
inspect for wear or damage as well as ,
Impeller (5), O-ring (4) and Back Cover
Plate (6). If there is any wear or damage ,
replace parts.
3. Place back cover plate (6) onto shaft.
Lubricate new impeller (5) with white
grease or light-weight oil and place onto
shaft by aligning flat on impeller hub with
flat on motor shaft. Reassemble o-ring (4),
front cover plate (3), plate (2) and screws
(1).
