14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot sur faces,
oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Replace or
repair damaged or worn cords imme diately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors can
operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands
or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electric shock. If your basement
has water or moisture on the floor, do not walk on
wet area until all power has been turned off. If
shut-off box is in basement, call the electric
company to shut-off service to the house, or call
your local fire department for in structions. Remove
pump and repair or replace. Failure to follow this
warning can result in fatal electrical shock.
Installation
Do not use power cord to lift motor.
Always use handle.
NOTICE:
Do not use this pump in ponds containing
plants or fish.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level
solid foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of
discharge pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet screen
clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid
stripping or crossing threads.
a. To install with 3/4” garden hose, install adapter
provided with pump.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap
thread with
1
Teflon™ tape or use
2
Plasto Joint Stik
®
.
Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 - 1-1/2 turns.
NOTICE:
Do not try to disassemble pump farther than
removing inlet screen. Any evidence of tampering will
void warranty.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V, 60 Hz
operation and requires a circuit of 15 amperes or more
capacity. It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with
grounding-type plug for use in a 3-wire, grounded outlet.
3 wire extension cord, of at least 14 AWG (2mm
2
) size
is suggested, with larger sizes for runs over 25 ft (7M).
For safety, pump should always be electrically grounded
to a suitable electrical ground such as a grounded
water pipe or a properly grounded metallic raceway, or
ground wire system. Do not cut off the round grounding
prong.
The pump motor is equipped with
auto matic resetting thermal protector and may
re start unexpectedly. Protector tripping is
indication of motor overloading as a result of
operating pump at low heads (low discharge
restriction), excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections,
or a defective motor or pump.
Electrical Connections
The Pump has a 3-prong electric plug. The third prong is
used to ground the pump to prevent possible fatal shock.
The third prong should never be removed. Your electrical
outlet should be the 3-prong, polarized type with an
internal ground.
A separate 15 amp GFCI branch electrical circuit is
recommended.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
Testing for Ground
For your safety, check your outlet for ground using a
Circuit Analyzer. (Figure A). A Circuit Analyzer will tell you
by a pattern of lights if the power, neutral, and ground
wires are correctly connected to your outlet. It can also
be used to check other outlets in your home. A Circuit
Analyzer is available in the Sears Electrical Department.
