This pump is a compact, submersible pump. It is extremely handy around the dock, the house or farm.
And, it’s ideal for removing water from dinghies, inflatable, peddle boats and kayaks.
This pump will lift water to a maximum height of 2.7 feet and pump in excess of 138 gallons per hour
with fresh batteries.
The pump is made of high-impact plastic. It is completely portable and ready for use when 3 “D” size
alkaline batteries are installed (batteries not included). It comes complete with a 42” hose and a male
hose fitting for attachment to your garden hose.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
To avoid airlock (flow stoppage),
submerge pump in water before turning on. If pump
must be turned on before submerged, it may take 10-30
seconds for the water to begin to flow (allowing pump
to clear airlock).
1.To install batteries, remove top cover of pump by
turning the handle counter-clockwise (See Figure1).
Unplug the wire leads and remove battery retainer
(See Figure 2 detail). Insert three (3) alkaline “D” size
batteries in position as indicated on the battery
retainer. Replace battery retainer, re-attach wire
leads and lock cover in place (wire leads are different
sizes to prevent improper wiring). The pump is completely
portable and ready for use when batteries are installed.
2. Place pump into water at the deepest point possible.
Make sure the pump is located in area free of debris to
avoid clogging. With bottom filter plate attached, pump
will sink. If you want the pump to float, remove bottom plate
by removing the four screws. The pump will then naturally float
in an upright position.
NOTE:
floating the pump is desired when you wish to pump out an
area that has debris at the bottom. See Step 1 under servicing
instructions. Some possible uses are: emptying aquarium
without picking up aquarium gravel; filling livewell with the
same water as being fished; pumping out pools or reservoirs
of greater depth than the pump hose length and pumping
out basement sump reservoir to avoid sludge at the bottom.
IMPORTANT:
keep pump tethered to prevent it from floating
out of reach.
3. To start pump, push switch located directly below cover. Hold
pump in position until the water begins flowing out of the hose.
Check frequently to be sure water is flowing properly and pump
is free from debris.
4. If water is flowing slowly, check hose for kinks or debris. Turn
pump off if it is necessary to remove debris. To remove debris, simply remove pump from water and
turn it upside down, looking for obvious obstructions. If further inspection is necessary, consult
servicing instructions.
NOTE:
after use, always flush the pump thoroughly with fresh clean water, especially after pumping
sea water or chlorine treated water.
