13. Use insulated crimp type connectors.
14. Protect the electrical wires from sharp objects,
hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking
the wires. Replace or repair damaged or worn
wires immediately.
15. Do not touch an operating motor. Motors can
operate at high temperatures.
16. Do not handle the pump or pump motor, or change
wiring with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface, or in water.
Risk of electric shock . Can shock, burn
or kill. Do not walk on a wet area. Do not lift the
pump by the power cord.
Installation
1. Remove the plastic plugs from the pump ports
and locate the pump as close to the water supply
as possible (the shorter the distance the better the
pump performance).
NOTICE Do not secure the pump in a position with
the motor facing down. The motor is splash proof,
but not water proof.
Risk of fire and explosion . Can
cause severe injury, property damage or
death. The motor is not spark proof. Do not
use in explosive atmospheres. Do not pump
flammable liquids.
2. Secure the pump on a hard surface. The pump
should be less than 6' above and less than 6' to one
side of the water source.
3. Connect the outlet hose. Make the outlet hose as
short as possible – 25' or less. See Figure 2 (typical
pump shown).

4. Prime the pump.
• Connect the inlet hose. Use a reinforced hose
1/2" or larger ID. Check the washer in the inlet
fitting to make sure it is airtight. If this joint leaks
air, the pump will not operate.
• Fill the inlet hose with water and put the open
end of the hose in the water you wish to pump.
NOTICE Do not allow the inlet hose to lie in dirt or
sand. This will cause rapid wear of the pump.
5. For a flat surface attach the Pud-L-Scoop® to the end
of the inlet line and place it in at least 1/2" of water
at the lowest point to be pumped. For all other uses,
attach the suction screen.
6. Be sure the discharge line is open and that the line
has no kinks or coils in it. Be sure all connections
are air tight.
Keep the hoses as straight as possible
To reduce friction, do not coil or kink the hoses. When
pumping from a well or stream, raise the inlet hose a
few inches off the bottom to avoid sucking in sand, silt
or pebbles (which can disable the impeller). Install the
suction screen or attachment (included) to protect the
pump from large solids. See Figure 3 (typical pump).
