California Proposition 65 Warning
This product and related accessories contain chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
1. Risk of explosion. Do not use in explosive atmospheres.
Pump water only with this pump. Failure to follow this warning can
result in personal injury and/or property damage.
Risk of flooding. If a flexible discharge hose is used, make
sure pump is secured in sump to prevent movement. Failure to secure
pump may allow pump movement, switch interference and prevent
pump from starting or stopping.
2. Make certain power source conforms to requirements of your
equipment.
3. Disconnect power before servicing.
4. Release all pressure within system before servicing any component.
5. Drain all water from system before servicing.
6. Secure discharge line before starting pump. An unsecured discharge
line will whip, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making
certain all connections are secure.
8. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Keep sump,
pump and system free of debris and foreign objects. Perform routine
maintenance as required.
9. Provide means of pressure relief on pumps whose discharge line can
be shut-off or obstructed.
10. Personal safety:
a. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
b. Keep work area clean, uncluttered and properly lighted – replace
all unused tools and equipment.
c. Keep visitors at a safe distance from the work area.
d. Make workshop child-proof – with padlocks, master switches, and
by removing starter keys.
11. When wiring an electrically driven pump, follow all electrical and safety
codes, as well as most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Risk of sudden starts. Can cause electrical shock and per-
sonal injury. Pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal
protector and may restart unexpectedly.
Risk of electric shock. This equipment is only for use on 115
volt (single phase) and is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type plug.
Risk of electric shock. To reduce risk of electric shock,
be certain that it is connected to properly grounded, grounding-type
receptacle.
12. Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be replaced
with properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in accordance
with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
13. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
14. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and
chemicals. Avoid kinking cord. Replace or repair damaged or worn
cords immediately.
15. Use wire of adequate size to minimize voltage drop at motor. Refer to
most recent National Electrical Code.

16. Do not touch an operating motor. Modern motors are designed to
operate at high temperatures.
17. The oil-filled motor in this pump was not designed for use in water
containing fish. Do not use in water where fish are present.

INSTALLATION
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Do not use
power cord to lift motor. Always use handle.
1. Pump should be located and should rest on level solid foundation. Do
not suspend pump by means of discharge pipe or power cord. Keep
pump inlet screen clear.
2. Thread outlet pipe into pump body carefully to avoid stripping or
crossing threads.
a. To install with garden hose, install adapter provided with pump.
NOTICE To keep friction as low as possible, hose must be 3/4" or
larger. Keep hose as short as possible.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap thread with PTFE
pipe thread sealant tape. Screw pipe into pump hand tight +1 -
1-1/2 turns.
3. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ. operation and
requires an individual branch circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity.
It is supplied with a 3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for use
in a 3-wire, grounded outlet. 3 wire extension cord, of at least 14 AWG
(2mm2) size is suggested, with larger sizes for runs over 25 ft (7M).
For safety, pump should always be electrically grounded to a suitable
electrical ground such as a grounded water pivpe or a properly
grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire system. Do not cut off the
round grounding prong.
Risk of sudden starts. Can cause electrical shock and
personal injury. The pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting
thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly. Protector tripping
is indication of motor overloading as a result of operating pump at
low heads (low discharge re striction), excessively high or low voltage,
inadequate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor
or pump.
OPERATION
Risk of electric shock. Can shock, burn or kill. Do not
handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet
or damp surface, or in water. Disconnect power from pump before
handling, servicing, or attempting to repair pump.
1. The pump must be standing in at least 1/2" (12.7mm) of water before
starting it (one inch (25.4 mm) is better). The shaft seal is water
lubricated and may be damaged if pump runs dry.
2. After starting, the pump will lower the water level to 3/16" (4.75 mm)
before losing suction. It will not pick up water less than 3/16" deep
when running and will not operate successfully if started in only 3/16"
of water.
3. Do not leave pump unattended! If the pump has been operating
satisfactorily and the discharge stream suddenly stops coming out of
the hose, stop the pump immediately; do not allow it to run dry. A mop
or squeegee will be needed to remove remaining water.
4. The motor is equipped with an automatically resetting thermal
overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector
