High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
•
To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before
working on or around the system. More than one disconnect
switch may be required to de-energize the equipment before
servicing.
•
Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped
with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if
required by code.
•
This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the
third prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the
pump to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
•
Wire pump system for correct voltages.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump
should only be used with liquids compatible with pump com
-
ponent materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompati
-
ble with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure
to the electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
•
Do not remove priming plug, pump housing, or suction or
discharge hose fittings when pump is hot. Hot water and/or
vapor inside could be pressurized.
•
Release all pressure within the system and drain all liquids
before servicing pump.
•
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
•
This equipment must not be used by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or lacking in
experience and expertise, unless supervised or instructed.
Children may not use the equipment, nor may they play with
the unit or in the immediate vicinity.
•
Do not use this pump for pumping any liquid intended for
human consumption.
•
Make sure that the discharge line of the pump is secure
before operating pump. If the discharge line is not secured it
could move.
•
Do not oil the motor. The pump’s motor housing is sealed.
Use of oil could cause serious electric shock and/or perma
-
nent damage to the pump.
•
Do not run pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of
the pump will rise to a high temperature that could cause
skin burns if touched, and will cause serious damage to the
pump.
•
Do not let the unit freeze. Freezing may cause cracking or
distortion that may destroy the unit.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation
and operation instructions provided in this manual for use
with this product. Read entire manual before starting instal
-
lation and operation.
•
End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
•
Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
1.
Do not plug in the pump until all plumbing connections are complete
and pump is secure.
2. Position the pump on a flat surface and make sure that the hoses to be
used are uncoiled.
3. Attach the two 3/4” brass garden hose adapters to the suction and dis
-
charge ports.
4. Attach rigid pipe or reinforced hose to the brass adapter on the suction
port (marked "IN").
IMPORTANT:
Never use regular garden hose or unreinforced hose on the suction side of the pump.
5. Attach the strainer (included) to the end of the suction line. This prevents foreign objects or small
debris from damaging the pump. Ensure there is no debris blocking the strainer screen.
6. Place the end of the suction line or reinforced garden hose into the source of water to be moved.
7. Ensure the suction line is airtight and there are no holes in the pipe or reinforced hose.
8. Attach a second hose to the discharge port (marked "OUT"). A regular garden hose may be used on the
discharge side of the pump.
9. Direct the end of the garden hose where the water is to be relocated. Secure the discharge hose to keep
it from moving due to water pressure.
