APPLICATION AND OPERATION (CONT’D)
PUMPING HEIGHT
When water is pumped to an elevated position, any volume that has
not reached the discharge outlet can flow back through the pump
when the pump shuts off. This back-flow can cause the water level in
small areas to rise enough to re-start the pump.
In small areas a check valve is required
to prevent backflow. Without a check valve the pump may cycle
continuously and potentially wear out the pump components.
1. This pump has been designed with a 3/4” NPT garden hose
discharge connection. Thread the female end of the garden hose
to the male end of the garden hose adapter.
2. Use a hose washer (not included) on the garden hose for correct
pump operation.
3. For best pump performance, unwind the hose before starting the
pump. This will help remove any kinks or binds in the hose and
allow the unit to pump with less restriction.
DO NOT place the pump on a weak, damaged,
or leaking pool cover. Placing the pump on a damaged pool cover could
cause the cover to give way, or could allow the pump to remove treated
swimming water from the pool in addition to rainwater.
4. With pump unplugged set the pump on the pool cover, where
water will collect. Do not set the pump directly on mud, sand
surfaces or in leaves. For best results make sure the strainer base
is making full contact with a clean area of the pool cover. This
will allow the strainer to properly filter debris and help prevent
clogging of the pump. If necessary clear an area of the pool cover
before placing the pump. For further placement techniques see
(Figures A-E).
Do NOT handle pump with wet hands or when
standing in water or on a damp surface when the unit is operating
or fails to operate. ALWAYS disconnect pump power cord from power
source before handling. Do NOT bury cord. Visually locate cord to
prevent damage caused by lawn mowers, hedge trimmers and other
equipment. Failure to do so WILL result in fatal electrical
shock.
NE PAS manipuler la pompe avec
les mains humides ou debout dans l’eau ou sur une surface
humide lorsque l’appareil fonctionne ou ne fonctionne pas corectement.
TOUJOURS débrancher le cordon d’alimentation de la pompe de la
source de courant avant toute manipulation. Ne PAS enterrer le cordon.
Repérer visuellement le cordon pour éviter les dommages causés par
les tondeuses à gazon, les taille-haies et autres équipements. Ne pas le
faire ENTRAÎNERA un choc électrique mortel.
5. The water level must be at least 5/8 inches for the pump to prime,
and operate. Water levels less than 5/8 inches will not allow the
pump to prime, therefore no water will be moved.
6. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI protected
outlet. If the water level is greater than 5/8” the pump will start
once plugged in. A priming delay of 2 seconds is programmed
into the control to allow time for air to escape from the pumping
chamber.

HOSE
A1. Connect discharge hose to pump check valve and place hose end
away from pool, where water will be displaced.
A2. Attach provided 25 ft. rope to pump base and pull the pump to where
water will collect.
A3. Do NOT exceed the 23 ft. maximum pumping height for this pump or
switch may not function properly. Plug in pump to allow for automatic
operation.
For removal unplug pump and retrieve using rope.

7. The pump will stop automatically once water has been removed
to a depth of approximately 1/2 of an inch. The pump will not
restart until the water depth rises to 1-5/8 inches or greater.
8. The pump must remain upright at all times in order for the water
detection to function. Do not allow the pump to operate on
its side or inverted allowing the pump to remain in any other
orientation than upright could case pump failure.
Do not alter the pump to override the automatic
water detector. Overriding this pump feature can cause the pump to
run dry and may cause pump failure.
