Location Of Unit
Locate pump as near as possible (vertically) to water
source, to keep suction lift (distance form water to pump)
as low as possible. Place pump on level support. Protect
against excess moisture and flooding.
Piping
Both suction and discharge ports are tapped for 3/4”
pipe. If using hoses, use hose to pipe thread adapter. To
prevent suction line collapse, use pipe or reinforced hose
only for suction line. Install strainer or puddle gulper on
end of suction line. Inspect and clean strainer frequently
(Figure 1). Plastic pipe can be used for all installations.
Electrical
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or
kill. Unplug pump before servicing it. Do not handle
pump or attempt to work on pump with wet hands or
while standing on wet or damp floor.
Plug pump into 115 Volt, 60 Cycle outlet only. Pump is
equipped with 3-wire, grounded, cord and plug. Do not
modify or remove plug. Plug in to properly grounded,
grounding type outlet only. Make sure pump circuit
meets National Electrical Code. To avoid dangerous
electrical shock hazard, keep cord dry at all times.
NOTICE Pump motor is equipped with carbon brushes
with a normal operating life of about 300 hours. One
extra set of brushes is included. Replacement brushes are
available from your dealer. Motor brushes not included
in warranty.
Risk of fire. Incorrectly mounted brushes
may cause fire. Be sure curve on end of brush matches
curve on commutator.
Operation
NOTICE Do not run pump dry. Running pump without
water can damage impeller and may damage seal,
causing leaking or flooding, and will void warranty.
