Risk of electrical shock, per-
sonal injury or death. Never touch or handle
driven pump with wet hands or when standing on
a wet surface or in water.
Be sure the drill is always
electrically grounded to an acceptable electrical
ground.
NOTE: Keep the suction line as short as possible
and filled with water.
NOTE: Never operate the impeller dry.
Operating it dry for as little as 30 seconds can
ruin the pump. The impeller must be oiled to
reduce friction or wear.
NOTE: Never operate the pump dry for prolonged
periods of time, as this will damage the pump.
NOTE: Use a strainer on the end of the inlet
hose, when pumping liquids with small solids to
extend pump life.
NOTE: Oil becomes thick in cold weather. Oil
must be kept thin for the pump to work properly.
NOTE: Electric drills are not intended to be oper-
ated unattended or continuously. Doing either of
these can cause the pump and drill to fail.
NOTE: Any air leaks in the suction line will pre-
vent the pump from priming.
• Use the unit within the liquid temperature
range of 40°F to 120°F.
• Inspect hoses thoroughly before each use,
making surethat all connections are tight and
that the hoses are all in good condition.
• Be sure that the inlet line (1) is airtight and
submerged in fluid. The inlet (1) and dicharge
(2) lines should be free of kinks and other flow
restrictions.
• Wet the impeller located inside the pump with
pumped fluid and/or cooking mineral oil
before starting the pump. This inproves the
priming process.
• Start the drill pump. Self-priming should
occur within 30 seconds. The pump will self-
prime up to an 8 ft. vertical lift. Be sure
that the liquid enters the pump within 15 to
20 seconds. If not, refer to the assembly
instructions and also the Troublshooting
section.
• If pump fails to prime, ensure that there are no
air leaks or obstructions in suction line.
• Lubricate the impeller with cooking oil or mineral oil.
• Always flush with clear water after using.
• Keep the suction line as short as possible and prime the line (fill with liquid) when possible before
starting the pump.
• Do not use suction hose that can collapse due to vacuum pressure.
