AIRLOCK
This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove water.
However, it cannot move air. If air is trapped inside the pump (a condition
called"airlock"), the pump cannot pump water out even though the pump is
completely submerged. This pump has an anti-airlock hole. Air flows out through
the anti-airlock hole, eliminating the airlock so that the pump can operate
properly. If debris blocks the anti-airlock hole, unplug the pump, clean out the
anti-airlock hole, and restart the pump. Alternately, drain the water out of the
garden hose, keep the end of the hose out of the water, and plug in the power
cord, restarting the pump.
CAUTION: This hole is for anti-airlock purposes. Leakage of air or water is
NORMAL. DO NOT BLOCK THIS HOLE!
NON-SUBMERSIBLE TRANSFER PUMP INSTALLATION
WARNING: Always disconnect power source before attempting to install, service, or maintain the pump. Never handle a
pump with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
CAUTION: Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns, unplug
the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
The following picture shows a typical installation. Threaded adaptors are furnished for attaching garden hose where
conditions permit its use. The suction lift of this unit can get up to 8 feet. Be sure to use special designed check valve
build-in suction hose included in the package.
