OPERATION
Risk of electrical shock. Do not allow work in pool (vacuuming,
scrubbing, etc.) with electrically conductive metal tools while pump is
operating.
If pump or cord failure occurs, pump case and pool water may be
energized, setting up a major electrical shock hazard.
Before using pump, BE SURE that power supply circuit is protected by a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI); if possible, test GFCI for proper
operation. Use pump ONLY with grounded, GFCI protected, 115 Volt circuit.
To avoid electrical shock hazard, do not modify cord or plug. Use 15 amp
Fusetron or 30 amp fuse or circuit breaker in circuit.
1. Pump is equipped with an air bleed hole to prevent airlocking. Check hole
(see Figure 4). If hole is plugged, DISCONNECT POWER to pump and
clean hole with a piece of wire.
2. Plug pump into a GFCI protected, 115 volt, three-prong, grounded electrical
outlet ONLY. Do not modify cord or plug or remove grounding prong from
plug.
NOTICE:
Do not run pump out of water. To do so can damage seal and will
void warranty.
3. Pick up pump by the rope provided (not by the cord) and lower into the
pool. Place pump in lowest point of pool.
To avoid severe injury or fatal electrical shock, do not use electrical cord
as a handle. Do not lower pump into pool by the electrical cord; use rope
provided.
4. To avoid overheating and early pump failure, do not allow pump to run
continuously if more than 1/3 of the motor is out of the water (see Figure 4,
Page 4).
5. Do not use an extension cord with this pump. Use the pump’s 25’, three-
wire, grounded cord plugged into the plug on the piggy-back switch cord,
which must be plugged into a 115 Volt, grounded, GFCI-protected outlet that
meets code requirements.
6. Run pump discharge in compliance with local ordinances. Make sure that
water from discharge will not cause flooding. Check local ordinances before
discharging pump into sanitary or storm sewers.
If cord or rope become tangled in switch assembly, ON-OFF switch may not
work properly. To prevent tangling, keep excess cord and rope outside of pool.
Hazardous voltage.
Can shock, burn,
or cause death.
Plug into grounded,
GFCI protected circuit
only.
Read instructions
before using pump.
