• WARNING Warning indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Caution indicates a
• CAUTION potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
• NOTICE Notice indicates important information, that if not followed, may cause damage to equipment.

General Safety Information

1. Read these rules and instructions carefully.
   Failure to follow these instuctions could cause serious bodily injury and/or property damage

   • A DANGERThis pump is non-submersible. Keep the motor dry at all times. Do not wash the motor. Do not immerse. Protect the motor from wet weather.
   • ADANGER Do not allow any part of cord or receptacle ends to sit in water or in damp locations.
   • WARNING Pump only clear water. Do not pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in a flammable andlor explosive atmosphere. Personal injury and property dam age could result.
   • NOTICE This pump is not designed to handle salt water, brine, laundry discharge or any other application that may contain caustic chemicals and foreign materials. Pump damage could occur if used in these applications and will void the warranty.

2. Connect this product to a grounded circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device.

3. Before installing this product, have the electrical circuit checked by an electrician to ensure proper grounding.

4. BE CERTAIN the pump power source is disconnected before installing or servicing pump.

5. Be sure the water source and piping are clear of sand, dirt and scale. Debris will clog pump and void warranty.

6. Failure to protect pump and piping from freezing could cause severe damage and will void the warranty.

7. Do not run pump dry.

Installation

PUMPING FROM LAKES, PONDS OR SMALL STREAMS

1. Locate pump as close as possible to the water source, keeping the verti-cal distance from the water to pump as small as possible. Place pump on level support. Protect against flooding and excessive moisture.
2. Long lengths of pipe or hose and use of many fittings will reduce pump flow. Use the smallest num-ber of fittings and shortest possible length of pipe or hose.
3. Be sure water is clear of debris such as sand, mud, and gravel.
4. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump. The inlet connection is designed for 1″ NPT thread. Rigid pipe such as PVC will work fine for inlet and outlet pipe. (Reminder: Minimize length of pipe and number of fit-tings.) An adapter for garden hose is included (see Figure 1). The inlet hose must be a rein-forced type when pumping from lakes, ponds, or small streams. The regular gar-den hose will collapse and lead to pump failure.
5. A foot valve with strainer should be used to maintain prime during operation.
6. Seal all connections in the inlet hose. An air leak in the fittings, hose, pipe or connections will draw air even though no water leaks out. These inlet leaks will reduce pump performance and lead to pump failure.
7. Connect outlet pipe or hose to pump. The outlet connection is designed for 1″ NPT thread. Rigid pipe such as PVC or garden hose may be used. An adapter to garden hose thread is included (Figure 1).

BOOSTING WATER PRESSURE

Do not run pump with outlet pipe or nozzle closed. The hose may burst from excessive pressure. Use only reinforced high-pressure hose or pipe for outlet pipe.

1. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump. An adapter to garden hose thread is included (Figure 1).
2. Connect the other end of inlet line to water supply.
3. Connect outlet pipe or hose to pump.

Operation

Never run the pump dry. Running pump without water will cause seal failure. Fill pump with water before starting.

1. Remove priming port on pump and fill with water. Reinstall priming port on pump (see Figure 2). For boosting water pressure: Do not remove the priming port. Turn on water supply.
   Risk of electrical shock! This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug.
   Use a grounded receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal electric shock.
   Never cut off the round grounding prong on the power cord. Cutting the cord or plug will make the pump unsafe to operate and void the warranty.

2.  Turn the pump switch to the ‘Off’ position.

3. This pump is only for use on 120 volt (single phase), 60 Hz, 15 amp service and is equipped with a 3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding type plug. Insert power cord directly into GFCI outlet (see Figure 3).

4. Turn pump switch to the ‘On’ position (see Figure 4). If the pump does not pump water within 10 minutes, turn off pump and refill with clean water. If the pump does not operate after repeated attempts, check the following:
   Vertical distance of pump to water level must not be over 20 feet.

   • Suction line must be airtight.
   • All valves in suction and discharge line must be open.

Maintenance

Maintain adequate ventilation for the pump motor. The motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the factory. Additional lubrication is not required.

DRAINING FOR WINTER
Always protect pump and piping against freezing temperatures. If there is any danger of freezing, drain the system.

1. Disconnect suction and discharge lines from pump.
2. Remove plug from lower front face of pump.
3. Drain all piping below the frost line, or store piping indoors.
4. Store pump indoors.
