Maintenance
Always disconnect
the electric supply
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Failure to do so could result in fatal
electrical shock.
Minimal service is required for this
pump. If pump should fail to operate,
perform the following troubleshooting
guidelines.
1. The motor housing of the pump is
completely sealed and requires no
service. Disassembly of the motor
housing or alteration of the power
cord could result in fatal electrical
shock and will void the warranty.
2. Verify the pump is operating
correctly.
a. Disconnect the pump from the
power source.
b. Disconnect the discharge hose
from the pump.
c. Immerse the pump in a bucket or
tub of water.
d. Plug the power cord into a
grounded 120 volt AC power
outlet. If the pump operates
correctly proceed to step #3. If
pump does not operate, unplug
the power cord and proceed to
maintenance guideline #4.
3. Verify the discharge hose is
correctly installed.
a. Connect hose to another water
source such as a faucet. If water
flows through the hose, proceed
to 3b. If water is restricted, verify
the discharge hose is unwound.
Remove all kinks, bends or
obstructions in the hose.
b. Verify pumping height does not
exceed 14 ft. (see Figure 5). If
pumping height is greater than 14
ft, this pump will not work.
Installation
(Continued)
4. Do not set the pump directly on
dirt, mud or sand. This will cause
the inlet to clog. Set pump on a
hard surface in water.
Operation
Do not touch
pump, pump
motor, water or discharge piping when
the pump is connected to electrical
power. Do not handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when
standing in water or on a wet or damp
surface. Never touch the pump or
discharge piping when unit is
operating or fails to operate. Always
disconnect the pump power cord
before handling.
Risk
of electrical shock! This
pump is supplied with a
grounding conductor and
grounding type
attachment plug. Use a grounded
receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal
electrical shock. Never cut off the
round grounding prong. Cutting the
cord or plug will void the warranty and
make the pump dangerous to operate.
1. Plug unit into a grounded 120 volt
AC power outlet. The unit will
operate continuously whether
partly or fully submerged.
2. On a flat surface, the pump will
remove water down to 1/8” of the
pumping surface. Shut off pump
immediately if unit has been
operating and suddenly no water
comes out of discharge hose. The
water level is probably very low and
the pump has lost prime. Use a mop
or squeegee to remove remaining
water.
3. Never allow pump to run dry. Pump
depends on water for lu bri ca tion. Do
not operate unit unless pump is
submerged in water. Dry run ning
(pump not pumping water) will
damage the pump and cause pump
failure.

Operating Instructions And Parts Manual
4. Verify the impeller is free to rotate.
a. Disconnect the pump from the
power source.
b. Remove the three (3) screws
securing the screen to the base.
c. Hold the pump by the handle with
one hand. Grab the screen with
the other hand and pull the screen
away from the base.
d. Hold the motor housing upside
down and rotate the impeller by
hand. Clean the base and impeller
side of motor housing with tap
water.
e. Install the screen to the base.
Screw the screen and base
together.
f. Plug the power cord into a
grounded 120 volt AC power
outlet. The pump should operate.
5. Rinse the impeller and base with
tap water after each use.
