cord has not been pulled onto the cover, and that the pump is still
upright, with the discharge hose properly positioned. If you plan
to be away from your pool for extended periods of time, it is rec-
ommended that a friend or neighbor periodically check your pool
cover pump, and verify that everything is still functioning properly.
Be sure to review the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and ELECTRICAL
SHOCK HAZARDS with them!
OPERATION
The water level switch is activated by a float mechanism. This is
caused by water rising around the float with the pump resting
upright. This switch relies upon buoyancy force of the float to
activate. The switch should cause pump to come on when the
water level is approximately 2"–3" deep. Pump should remain run-
ning until the water level is approximately .50"–1.50" deep. NOTE:
Temperatures near freezing may cause the "ON" level to go as
high as 4", and the "OFF" to be as high as 2".
ELECTRICAL
1. Your pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug. The third
prong is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical
shock hazard. Do not remove the third prong from the plugs.
2. A separate branch electrical circuit is recommended. The elec-
trical power required is 5 amps at 230 VAC.
3. Be sure that electrical connection cannot be reached by ris-
ing water. Under no circumstances should the connection
be located where it may become flooded or submerged by
water.
4. If you have a GFCI model, test GFCI device per the instructions
on the back of the device.

5. Test the pump after all electrical connections have been
made. Run water into area where pump is to be placed. Do
not attempt to run the pump without water; this could cause
damage to the pump. Fill the area to a normal "ON" level and
allow the pump to remove water to a normal "OFF" level.
Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump,
discharge or electrical plug when water is present in the area.
Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury and/or prop-
erty damage. Always connect pump to grounded receptacle. See
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
1. CAUTION: Before servicing the pump, disconnect the pump
from electrical service, unplug cord, remove fuse or turn off
disconnect box.
2. The motor housing of the pump is completely sealed and
requires no service. Disassembly of the motor housing or
alteration of the power cord voids all warranty.
3. The motor is a continuous duty type with an automatic thermal
overload protector device.
4. The pump can run against a restricted discharge without dam-
age to the pump.
5. Keep pump clean and in a well maintained condition at all times.
Pump should be thoroughly cleaned for summer storage.
6. If float becomes stuck, remove the float access cap on the bot-
tom of the unit. Remove cap by turning towards the "OPEN"
arrow as indicated on the cap. Clean as needed, then reinstall
access cap.
