Select an Outlet Position
Place the pump flat on its base. To set the outlet to Positions 2, 3, or 4 as
shown below, the body of the pump needs to be rotated within the handle/stand
and locked at Notches A, B, or C respectively. To set the outlet to Position
1, rotate the pump into Notch A while the impeller chamber covering is removed
and manually rotate it counter-clockwise into the desired position.
To set the outlet to Position 5, rotate the pump into Notch C while the
impeller chamber covering is removed, and manually rotate clockwise until in
the desired position.

Pump Maintenance:
This pump features a water-lubricated bearing and shaft for guaranteed long-
lasting service, however the rotor assembly is susceptible to failure if sand
or extra-fine grit is pumped through it.
- Caution: Always unplug the pump before handling or performing any maintenance.
- If the pump is not working, first check the circuit breaker to which it is connected. If the breaker appears to be in working order, try another (GFCI) to make sure the pump is properly powered.
- Check the pump’s discharge, impeller, and tubing for any obvious signs of obstruction.
- Check the pump’s inlet screen to ensure that it is not clogged.
- After removing the impeller chamber covering, rotate the impeller by hand to ensure it can spin freely.
Cleaning
To clean the impeller chamber and impeller, remove the impeller chamber covering by rotating it counter-clockwise. This will expose the pump’s impeller. Use a garden hose to spray any debris out of the chamber and off the impeller.
Replaceing the Impeller
To clean or replace the impeller assembly, first remove the front housing by rotating it counter-clockwise (see Figures A & B), and with the impeller exposed, locate the 3 tabs as shown in the figure below.
Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, very gently grip the shaft with the tip of the pliers while also locking in one of the tabs at the same time. Gently turn the shaft counter-clockwise while pushing on the tab to unlock the impeller assembly. Pull the assembly straight out to remove it from the motor housing (refer ti Figures C, D, and E). Use only minimal force while doing this to avoid damaging the tabs on the pump or the impeller assembly. Visually inspect the impeller assembly for any damage. The impeller assembly for pumps is one assembly as shown in Figure F.
Reinstall
Before reinstalling the impeller assembly, it is recommended you use a silicon-based lubricant on the ceramic shaft, on the impeller assembly’s metallic rotor, and on the pump body’s O-ring. After lubrication is complete, reinstall all the components back into the pump by sliding the impeller assembly back into the motor housing. Using a pair of needle-nose pliers, very gently grip the shaft and one of the tabs at the same time, and turn clockwise while gently pushing on the tab to lock the impeller assembly in place. When you hear a click sound it means the impeller is locked. Use only minimal force while doing this to avoid damaging the tabs on the pump or the impeller assembly.
Reinstall the front housing by sliding it over the impeller chamber and rotating it clock-wise until it locks in the desired position.
