INSTALLATION / MAINTENANCE
In rare cases you may need to prime the pump. To prime it,
fill the suction hose with water, put it back in the water
source, and start the pump.
The motor must have air circulation around it for proper
cooling. This pump will lift water 12’; trying to lift water
more than 12’ can cause the motor to run hot. The motor
has a thermal overload which will stop it if it gets too hot. If
the motor stops, allow it to cool for 30 minutes before try-
ing to start it again.
UNPLUG THE PUMP
Unplug the pump before all the water is completely gone.
Do not run pump dry!
PERFORMANCE
The pump will deliver 350 gallons/1325 liters per hour with
an unrestricted discharge line. If the discharge line is re-
stricted or raised and the pressure on the pump outlet port
increases, it will pump less water.
NOTICE:
This pump’s motor has brushes. Inspect the
brushes frequently; replace them if they’re worn.
Risk of burns from motor case during
normal operation.
Do not touch motor when it is operat-
ing or when it is hot. Plug motor cord into 3-wire grounded
115 volt A.C. outlet 60 Hz.
Risk of fire or explosion if used to pump
flammable liquids or if used in explosive atmo-
spheres.
Pump is designed to pump water at temperatures
between 32°-77° F (0°-25° C) only. Pump water only with
this pump!
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or
cause death.
Unplug pump before servicing.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
Replace brushes after 150-200 hours of motor operation.
Check brush condition if motor shows signs of running
slowly or erratically after pump has been in service for a pe-
riod of time.
NOTICE:
Brushes are spring loaded. Hold on to covers,
brushes, etc., so that nothing gets lost.
1. Unscrew brush covers on sides of motor. Slide brush
springs and brushes out of motor.
2. Slide new brushes into motor. Brush must slide into
square-cut hole in motor; make sure that curve on brush
end matches curve of armature (see Figure 1).
3. Replace brush covers. Do not overtighten.
