are designed for use in ponds and water features. They are also
useful for applications such as swimming pools, water storage basins, flooded basements,
boats or cellars.
These pumps are not designed for waste water treatment purposes, flammable, corrosive,
gaseous, explosive liquids (i.e. gasoline, fuel, dilutents), greases, oils or food waste - this will
void the warranty.

can be employed for dirty water
containing suspended solid particles with a maximum diameter up to 1
1/4
”. The temperature of
the liquid should not exceed 95° F (35° C).
To prevent personal injury resulting from electrical shock, check the pump for possible damage
prior to installation.
Important Safety Instructions
Locate a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) protected power source nearby. Typically a 4 outlet, 15 amp,
110v, grounded, single phase service is sufficient. Refer to your electrical equipment specifications or consult
a qualified electrician to determine power demands for your system.
WARNING -
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
This device contains electrical components that can pose significant risk of electrical shock.
To guard against injury, observe basic safety precautions. Please read the following:
Precautions
ü
ALWAYS unplug the power cord to the pump before handling. In case power cable is damaged,
replacement must be performed by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center.
ü
To reduce the risk of electrocution, this device must be protected by a ground fault
circuit interrupt switch (GFCI). If you do not have this switch contact a licensed
electrician before installation.
ü
Before connecting the pump to a power source,
verify that the power source is
the same voltage and frequency listed on the pump.
ü
Never move or handle device by pulling on the power cord.
ü
Always disconnect the pump from power before any service work.
ü
Do not remove pump housing while the pump is in use.
ü
Product installation should comply with state and local electrical codes.
ü
Connect the pump to a separate isolated 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
fuse block. Using this product in a low voltage situation can damage the pump
motor and other electrical components.
ü
Cutting off the ground pin on the power cord voids the pump warranty and could damage the pump.
