Safety & Electrical Connections
WARNING: Verify that the voltage and frequency of the electric
pump shown on nameplate correspond to those available on mains.
• The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in
accordance with local ordinances.
• The plug and connections should be protected from water/rain.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power
cable and plug).
• Do not use the pump if it is damaged. If the pump is damaged, have it
inspected by a qualified service center only.
• Make sure electric connections are protected from all water and
moisture. Protect plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp
edges.
WARNING: The power cable must be replaced by qualified
personnel only.
Grounding: The plug of the power cable has a double grounding contact,
so that grounding can be performed by simply inserting the plug.
Overload Protection: EasyPro pumps have a built in thermal protection
switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs. The motor
restarts automatically after it has cooled down.
Prior to Operation
Check the following points upon receipt of your pump:
• Is the pump exactly what you ordered? Check nameplate.
• Has any damage occurred during shipment?
• Are any bolts or nuts loose?
• Have all necessary accessories been supplied?
• We recommend that you keep a spare pump on hand in case of
emergencies. Keep this instruction manual in a place for future
reference.
Installation
Limitations:
This pump must stay submerged entirely when operating. If used in
skimmer, the debris net must be kept clean to ensure adequate water
flow to the pump. Running pump low on water will cause overheating and
premature failure which is not covered under warranty.
This series of pumps are suitable to pump water and also can be used
both for permanent and temporary installation. The pump can be placed
in a sump pit, then can pump dirty water containing suspended solid
particles up to
1
/
2
" diameter.
WARNING: The pump cannot be used for sea water, chlorinated
water and flammable, corrosive, explosive or dangerous liquids.
Installation:
WARNING: Do not work on pump until power is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or use an adapter fitting.
Do not use an extension cord
Must be used on a GFCI protected outlet
Do install the strainer prior to using if you want to let the pump run as a
sump pump.
The pump power cord should be connected to a separately fused,
grounded line with a minimum capacity of 15 amps. It can be connected
to non- fuse breaker at the recommended amps. Never touch the pump
when it is plugged in.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain pump power
source is disconnected. Contact a qualified licensed electrician for
disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state/local codes
and must be completed before priming pump. Check appropriate
community agencies, or contact local electrical and pump
professionals.
3. Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be connected to
a separate 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp fuse block. Note that,
plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor, causing
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or burned out motor.
4. A permanent ground connection from pump to the grounding bar at
the service panel is mandatory. For maximum safety, connect pump
to a circuit equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter device
when you position the pump’s grounding wire.
5. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
WARNING: Must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
EasyPro pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in
locations classified as hazardous.
WARNING: The following may cause severe damage to pump and
will void warranty:
• Using an extension cord
• Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter fitting
• Working on pump or switch while plugged in
• Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller or otherwise removing
impeller seal
• Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids including chlorinated or salt water
• Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids
• Piping: Plastic PVC pipe, drain hose, galvanized steel or copper pipe
may all be used. All piping must be clean and free of all foreign matter
to prevent clogging. Be sure to seal the thread connection with tape
seal when you are using the pipe fitting to connect the flange.

Each year we receive numerous pumps back that simply have a small
stone lodged in the impellar, are plugged from lack of cleaning or do not
work due to low voltage caused by an overloaded circuit. These are not
warranty items. Please take the time to verify your problem is actually
a defective pump before returning. EasyPro will pay postage to return
pump to you provided it is a warranty issue. If you send a pump in for
warranty and it checks out fine — you will also be responsible for the
cost of return postage.
