PULL ACROSS - PUMP REMOVAL

Figure E - Pull Across pump removal (top view)

E1. Disconnect power to pump. Using the included 25 ft. rope, safely

pull pump to edge of pool, disconnect discharge hose and remove.

Never use power cord to position, carry or

retrieve the pump.

will be pumped.

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. Do NOT bury cord. Visually locate cord to prevent

damage

caused by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other equipment. Failure to do so

WILL result in fatal electrical shock.

Do NOT alter the pump to override the automatic

water detector. The shaft seal depends on water for

lubrication. Overriding this pump feature CAN cause the pump to run dry and MAY

damage the shaft seal and cause pump failure.

5. The water level must be at least 2-1/8 inches for the

pump to cycle, prime, and operate. Water levels less
than 2-1/8 inches will not allow the impeller to contact
water therefore no water will be pumped.

6. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI

protected outlet. The pump will start automatically when
the water reaches a depth of 2-1/8 inches. A priming
delay of 2 seconds is programmed into the control to
allow time for air to escape from the pumping chamber.

Use caution when positioning the pump not to

damage the power cord by dragging across the edge of the

pool. Also take into consideration the placement of the discharge hose and power cord

after installation. Make sure no sharp edge can damage the power cord or discharge

hose causing unsafe conditions.

7. The pump will stop automatically once water has been

removed to a depth of approximately 3/4 of an inch. The
pump will NOT restart until the water depth rises to 2-1/8
inches or greater.

8. The pump will NOT allow itself to run dry. Once the pump

detects that water is no longer being removed, it will shut
down automatically. The pump must remain upright at all
times in order for the water detection to function. Do NOT
allow the pump to operate on its side or inverted The shaft
seal depends on water for lubrication, allowing the pump
to remain in any other orientation than upright could cause
shaft seal failure or pump failure.

Pump starts automatically.

Always disconnect electric supply before attempting

to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance.

Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor

housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires

no service. If pump should fail to operate, perform the

following troubleshooting guidelines:

PRIMING HOLE

BASE SCREWS (4)

INLET SCREEN/ BASE

IMPELLER

Figure 1 - Priming Hole Location

WHEN REATTACHING THE BASE (INLET SCREEN), BE SURE THAT

THE SIX (6) “PLUGGED” HOLES ARE ORIENTED BELOW THE SWITCH

5. Periodic cleaning is required to maintain performance of

the pump. Follow the cleaning steps listed below:
a.  Disconnect pump from power source.
b.  Remove the strainer.
c.  Remove the four (4) base screws (Figure 1).
d.  Remove the base and impeller plate.
e.  Remove the debris and make sure the impeller turns

freely.

f. Reinstall impeller plate, base, screws, and strainer.

1. Verify pumping height does NOT exceed 13 feet (See

Figure A). If pumping height is greater than 13 feet, this
pumps automatic feature will not operate correctly.

2. Verify water depth is 2-1/8 inches or greater.

3. To verify pump is operating correctly.

a. Disconnect pump from power source.
b. Connect hose adapter/check valve and discharge

hose to pump.

c. Immerse pump in a bucket or tub of water at least

2-1/8 inches in depth.

d. Place the other end of the discharge hose outside

the bucket, so the water will pump out.
