Application and Operation
(Continued)
c. Immerse pump in a bucket or tub
of water.
d. Plug power cord into a grounded
115 volt GFCI power outlet. If
pump operates correctly, proceed
to step #3. If pump does NOT
operate, unplug power cord and
proceed to step #4 in this section.
3. To verify discharge hose is free from
a blockage:
a. Connect hose to another
water source such as a faucet.
If water flows through hose,
proceed to step #3b. If water is
restricted, verify discharge hose
is unwound. Remove all kinks,
bends, or obstructions in hose.
b. Verify pumping height does NOT
exceed 20 feet (See Figure 1). If
pumping height is greater than
20 feet, this pump will NOT work.
4. Periodic cleaning of pump is
required to maintain performance of
the pump. Follow the cleaning steps
listed below:
a. Unplug the power cord.
b. Remove the 4 screws in the
bottom of the base.
c. Remove the base and inlet plate.
d. Remove the debris and make
sure the impeller turns freely.
e. Reinstall inlet plate, base, and
screws.
This
unit
is
NOT
designed for use in septic
tanks or underground vaults
to pump raw sewage or
effl uents. NEVER use in hazardous or
explosive locations.
1. This pump has been designed with
1-1/4 in. NPT discharge size. Connect
pipe or fitting to the discharge
threads, or connect the supplied
garden hose elbow fitting to the
pump. Thread the female end of the
garden hose to the male discharge on
the pump.
2. To reduce leakage between the
pump and the hose, place a hose
washer (not included) on the garden
hose before installing to the pump.
3. For best pump performance, unwind
the hose before starting the pump.
This will help remove any kinks or
binds in the hose and allow the unit
to pump with less restriction.
4. Set the pump on a hard, flat surface
in the water. Do not set the pump
directly on mud or sand surfaces. This
will cause the inlet screen to clog.
5. The water level must be at least
1-3/4 in. for the pump to prime and
operate.
Water levels less than 1-3/4 in. will
not allow the impeller to contact
water and no water will be pumped.
Do
NOT
handle
pump with wet hands or
when standing in water or
on a damp surface when
the unit is operating or fails
to operate. ALWAYS disconnect pump
power cord from power source before
handling.
6. Plug the power cord into a
grounded 115-volt GFCI power
outlet. The pump will start operating
as soon as the power cord is plugged
into the power outlet.
7. The pump will remove water down
to 3/8 in. above the hard surface the
pump was placed on.
8. The pump should be turned off once
the water level reaches the 3/8 in.
mark.
Do NOT allow pump
to run dry. The shaft
seal depends on water for lubrication.
Operating pump without water WILL
damage the shaft seal and cause pump
failure.
Maintenance
ALWAYS disconnect 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.
2. To verify pump is operating
correctly:
a. Disconnect pump from power
source.
b. Disconnect discharge hose from
pump.
