NOTE: Ratings based on 1-1/4" pipe with friction loss neglected. Us-
ing 3/4" garden hose adapter, performance will be reduced approxi-
mately 15%. This pump does not deliver enough pressure to operate
lawn sprinklers properly.
OPERATION
1. Set pump on hard surface in water before starting.
2. Use the included garden hose adapater for 3/4" discharge line or
disconnect the adapter to use a 1-1/4" discharge.
3. Plug power cord into properly grounded 115 volt AC power outlet.
(See recommended grounding methods on front page). Will oper-
ate continuously whether partly or fully submerged. Submersible
utility pumps are intended to pump clean or dirty water or water-
like liquids at temperatures up to 104˚ F.
4. When the pump senses that it is no longer pumping water, the
pump will shut off automatically. The pump will then turn on every
three minutes for 5 seconds and then off if it does not sense any
water.
5. If water is sensed after the pump begins running, the pump will
continue pumping until the pump senses that it is no longer
pumping water.
6. To prevent unnecessary wear, unplug the pump from the power
output when not in use.
7. The pump is supplied with a 3/4" garden hose adpater. For use
with plastic pipe, remove the adapter and install the desired 1-
1/4" NPT fitting. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN THE HOSE OR PLAS-
TIC ADAPTER FITTING. Finger tight plus 1/2 turn is sufficient.
Do not set pump directly on sand, dirt or mud.
Sand or mud-choked pumps can be back-
flushed clean.
Do not handle or carry the pump by the power
cord. Use the handle.
Extended usage of the pump in a partially
submerged or non-submerged situation may
cause the pump to overheat due to lack of heat dissipation from the
water. If this occurs, the pump will shut itself off until the motor cools
to its normal temperature. Repeated overheating may cause dam-
age to the pump.
MAINTENANCE
1. 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.
2. The motor is a continuous duty type with an automatic thermal
overload protector device.
3. The pump can run against a partially restricted discharge, but
is designed to move large volumes of water with minimal back
pressure.
4. If the pump becomes clogged, remove the screen and clean out
the area.
5. Debris in the intake should be routinely removed from the bottom
of the pump to prevent damage to the pump, which will void the
warranty.
6. If necessary, remove the eight (8) screws holding the volute base
to the motor housing and clean the volute.
