Safety Information

Read these warnings carefully. Know the application and limitations of this pump. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.

DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Disconnect and lockout power supply before removing old pump or installing or servicing this pump.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding type receptacle. For added safety, it is highly recommended to connect this pump to a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet.

• WARNING
  The installation of this pump must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), International Plumbing Code (IPC) as well as all applicable local codes and ordinances.

• CAUTION
  Do not install this pump in any location classified as hazardous by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA70.

• CAUTION
  Do not use this pump to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, kerosene, etc.
  Do not use this pump in flammable or explosive environments.
  Use only with liquids compatible with pump component materials.

• WARNING
  RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas.

• WARNING
  RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT use the power cord to install or carry the pump.
  Always use the handle. The cord may pull apart exposing bare wires which could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the handle supplied with the pump for installing and transporting the pump.

• WARNING
  Do not run pump dry. This pump relies on water for cooling. Running the pump dry can cause the pump to overheat and the possibility of burns to anyone that handles the pump. Running the pump dry will void the warranty.

• WARNING
  Make certain that the electrical outlet is within the reach of the power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. More importantly, they present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the water.

• CAUTION
  This pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
  protector and may restart unexpectedly.

• WARNING
  Do not use this pump for potable/drinking water. Use only in
  applications for which the pump is designed for.

• WARNING
  According to the state of California (Prop. 65), this product contains
  chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth
  defects or other reproductive harm.

• WARNING
  Keep hands clear of suction & discharge openings. To prevent injury,
  never insert fingers into pump while it is plugged in.

• WARNING
  Do not handle this pump with wet hands or while standing on wet or
  damp surfaces or in water.

  Use of this pump for waterfalls, ponds or fountains will void the
  warranty.

Description
This non-automatic submersible utility pump is designed to remove water from, flooded basements, window wells, pools, hot tubs and stock tanks, etc. The permanent split capacitor motor is oil filled and hermetically sealed for cooler operation. The pump comes equipped with a 3-prong grounding type power cord.

Troubleshooting

Danger : Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting to install, service, or perform maintenance on the pump.

Specifications

Installation

• Install the pump on a hard-level surface in the water. If necessary, place bricks or patio blocks under the pump to raise it off the bottom. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand or silt or on rocky surfaces as these materials can clog or cause damage to the pump.
• Connect a hose to the pump discharge. Use either the supplied garden hose adapter or other hose fitting (sold separately). Choose the best-size hose or pipe for your application. NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 3/4″

Operation

1. Connect the plug into a 120-volt AC grounded outlet. The use of a GFCI is strongly recommended.
2. The pump will start pumping in approximately 1″ of water and will drain down to approximately 1/8″-1/4″ of the surface.
3.  Do not let the pump run dry. The pump depends on water for cooling and lubrication. Operating the pump without water may cause the motor to overheat or cause damage to internal parts. It may also shorten the life of your pump.
4. The pump motor is thermally protected. It is not recommended for pumping liquids over 120° F (49° C). The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an overheating/overload situation. The pump will reset itself once the pump cools down. This overload is designed as a safety device and it will fail after repeated use. Normal operation is for fluids between 32° F & 120° F (0° C – 49° C).

Maintenance

DANGER
Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.
WARNING
All repairs must be made by an authorized service center.
CAUTION
This submersible pump contains oil which may become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions – allow the pump to cool for 2-3 hours before servicing.

1. The pump motor is hermetically sealed in the housing and does not require any service.
2. Disassembly of the motor housing or modification of the power cord voids the warranty.
3. Periodically check the intake screen for obstructions. Clean if necessary. Inspect the impeller for signs of wear and obstructions.
4. Inspect the power cord for signs of damage or wear. Do not operate the pump if the cord is damaged or worn.

Performances

Height, pipe diameter restriction and hose length will reduce the pump output performance. It is recommended to use the same size or larger pipe / hose as the pump discharge for optimum performance. The performances listed below were obtained by Use the shortest length of hose possible for your application.
