TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Model: PRMPUMPTP01012V

PERFORMANCE

For best performance, the maximum recommended hose length is 50 ft. The pumping capacity or water flow rate of any pump depends on several factors. The larger the inside diameter and the shorter the length of hose, the less pressure that is lost (or the larger the flow rate). If the hose runs uphill or is extra long, use a larger diameter hose or rigid pipe.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

• This pump is not submersible! Do not stand in water while this pump is plugged in, and do not get the motor wet as it could cause electrocution, which could lead to serious injury or death. Always make sure the pump is unplugged as soon as the water level reaches 1/8 in. At water levels less than 1/8 in., the pump is attempting to pump air, which will cause the pump to overheat and wear out. Running the pump without sufficient water will damage the pump and void the pump’s warranty.
• When the pump is running dry, it will be EXTREMELY LOUD. This is a sign to unplug the pump.
• You must use the included clear suction hose on the inlet of this pump, as marked on the pump.
• Always use the suction strainer included with this pump to prevent debris from damaging the pump.
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
• Always disconnect the pump from its power source before inspection.
• Do not stand in water when the pump is connected. Do not handle pump with wet hands.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT and can cause serious skin burns.

CAUTION

• This pump is designed to pump only water. This pump is designed for portable applications. It can drain or remove water from the following: flooded areas, pool covers, clogged sinks, waterbeds, water basins, boats, stock tanks, etc. It can also be used to fill tanks or water beds. This pump has not been tested or approved for use in swimming pools or in salt-water marine areas. This pump should not be used as a replacement for a sump pump.
• This pump cannot be used in sewage applications. Doing so will void the warranty.
• This pump is made of high-strength materials. It will provide trouble-free service for many years when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate electrical power to the pump, or blockage by ice, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to fail, potentially bringing about additional water damage. To minimize the potential for water damage due to pump failure, please read the section of this manual regarding common pump problems and remedies or call 833-290-1189

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before servicing. Secure the pump on a solid base to prevent the pump from tipping over and possibly falling into the water.
4. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured discharge hose to “whip”, possibly causing personal injury or property damage.
5. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and be sure the hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the greatest amount of water quickly.
6. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks. Ensure all hose washers are in place.
7. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. If an extension cord must be used, use no more than a 25 ft., 3-prong, 16 AWG, outdoor-grade cord.
8. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 5-amp minimum (15-amp maximum) fuse or circuit breaker.
9. Periodically inspect pump and system components to be sure pump inlets are free of mud, sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTING.
10. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
11. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
12. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

PREPARATION

WARNING: burns, unplug and allow time for the pump to cool after periods of extended use. Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use a power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin Before beginning the assembly of the product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.

• Estimated Assembly Time (New installation): 5 minutes

Materials Required for Assembly (not included): Garden Hose (50 ft. max. length) Never operate this pump unless it is secured to a solid foundation. Do not suspend the pump by the discharge hose or power cord. Keep the pump suction strainer clear. Do not install the pump directly on sand or dirt.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add water (approximately 1-2 Tbsp.) into the inlet to wet the impeller of the pump(A). Attach the suction hose (C) by pushing the male threaded end into the rubber suction strainer (B). Then, place the strainer in at least 1/2 in. of water at the lowest point to be pumped.
   NOTICE: Make sure the connection is airtight. An air leak can cause the pump (A) to run dry.

2. Thread the other end of the suction hose (C) to the suction inlet of the pump (A).

3. NOTICE: Always ensure the washer in the hose bib is not damaged. An airtight seal is necessary for this pump to operate. Make sure the suction hose (C) and suction strainer (B) are in the water before plugging in the pump (A).

4. Thread a 5/8 in. or larger garden hose (not included) into the discharge outlet of the pump (A).
   NOTICE: Make sure the end of the outlet hose is not underwater. If the outlet is underwater, the pump may not work.

5. Attach the pump (A) to a sturdy base (table, board, etc.) to prevent it from tipping over. Make sure the hoses are as straight as possible.
   WARNING: This pump CANNOT be submersed in water, and the motor CANNOT get wet at all. Getting the motor wet could cause electrocution, which could lead to serious injury or death!
   NOTICE: DO NOT coil or kink the hose

6. This equipment is only for use with an automotive, tractor or marine-type battery fully charged to 12 Volts DC. Battery current can cause severe burns and start a fire if the battery is short-circuited. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Use insulated crimp-type connectors

Connect pump to power source. Connect the red clamp to the positive (+) type battery terminal. Connect the black clamp to the negative (-) type battery terminal. Power Supply: The pump is designed for use with a 12 Volt DC battery. Operation requires a minimum 12 Volt power supply.
