• ALWAYS disconnect the power source before
attempting to operate, service, relocate, or
maintain the pump. NEVER handle a pump or
pump motor with wet hands or when standing
on a wet or damp surface or in water when
pump is connected to power source.
• Secure the discharge line before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge line may whip.
Personal injury and/or property damage could
result.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required.
2. Figure 2 shows a typical application. Threaded
adapters are furnished for attaching garden hose
where conditions permit its use. In no case should
the pump be more than 15 feet above or away from
inlet source. Install a foot valve when suction lift is
over 10 feet or when suction line is over 10 feet long.
3. The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe,
or reinforced hose. Small leaks in suction line
greatly reduce efficiency of pump and may prevent
priming.
will collapse under suction pressure and should not be
used in the inlet but for pressure boosting only.
4. Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond,
or source where foreign objects may be sucked
into the pump. The strainer should prevent solids
from entering the inlet line.
5. A regular garden hose may be used as a discharge
line.
6. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the
plug is missing the grounding prong or the cord is
damaged, do NOT use the pump until the cord has
been replaced.
• Risk of fatal electrical shock. NEVER cut off the
round grounding prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump inoperable.
