PRE-INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Do not work on pump until power
is unplugged.
Do not cut off ground pin or use
DQDGDSWHUÀWWLQJ
Do not use an extension cord.
The pump power cord should be connected to
a grounded line with a minimum capacity of 15
amps.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be
certain power source is disconnected.
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere
to state and 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.
Note that plugging into existing outlets may
cause low voltage at motor. This could cause
blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or
burned out motor.
4. For maximum safety, connect pump to a
circuit equipped with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI).
5. Voltage of power supply must match the
voltage of the pump.
INSTALLATION - PUP61
1. Lubricate inlet side of pump (indicated on pump body) with vegetable oil
2. Attach suction hose to inlet side of pump. It is recommended to use a stiff, heavy walled hose to
reduce the risk of the suction hose collapsing under the vacuum created by the pump suction.
3. Attach the suction strainer if there is any chance of debris being present in the water to be pumped.
Attach a hose to the discharge port of the pump.
4. Place the suction strainer in the deepest point in the water to be pumped.
5. Plug pump in to GFCI protected outlet
6. Pump will take several seconds to prime, as water is pulled to the suction inlet. This is normal.
The previously placed vegetable oil protects the impeller from running dry during this period. This

CRITICAL THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS IN THE SUCTION HOSE OR CONNECTION IN ORDER
FOR THE PUMP TO ACHIEVE PRIME
7. Monitor the pumping process and stop the pump when pumping is complete to prevent dry-running.
6. Before installing pump, clear any debris or
sediment from the water to be pumped.
7. The following may cause severe damage to
pump and will void the warranty.
(a) Using an extension cord.
(b) Cutting off the ground pin or using an
DGDSWHUÀWWLQJ
(c) Working on pump or switch while
plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing
impeller, or otherwise removing
impeller seal.
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive
liquids, other than motor oil.

liquids
(h) All piping must be clean and free of all
foreign matter to prevent clogging.
(l ) Pump will be inadequate if suspension
liquids contain solid particles larger than 1/4”.
Keep pump equipment out of the reach of children! Failure to follow the
directions given could cause serious risk to individuals, objects and/or the
pump equipment.
