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.
4. Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud and sand during
operation to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent clogging and premature pump failure.
5. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured
discharge hose to "whip", possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Before using the pump, check hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and be
sure hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the
greatest amount of water quickly.
7. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present
a life-threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall
into water.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10-amp or larger fuse or circuit
breaker.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components, to be sure pump inlets are free of mud,
sand, and debris. DISCONNECT PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the
workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an
approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND
PIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a
properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use pump with a
2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a
GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

PPSU33 1/3
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). The maximum
pressure produced by this pump is about 13 PSI. If the hose runs uphill or is extra-long, use a
larger diameter hose or rigid pipe.
