NOTE: The inlet hose must be a reinforced type when
pumping from lakes, ponds, or small streams. Regular
garden hose will collapse and lead to pump failure.
5. A foot valve with strainer should be used to
maintain prime during operation.
6. Seal all connections in the inlet hose. An air leak in
the fittings, hose, pipe or connections will draw air
even though no water leaks out. These inlet leaks
will reduce pump performance and lead to pump
failure.
7. Connect outlet pipe or hose to pump. The outlet
connection is designed for 1” NPT thread. Rigid
pipe such as PVC or garden hose may be used. An
adapter to garden hose thread is included (Figure
1).
BOOSTING WATER PRESSURE
Do not run pump with outlet pipe
or nozzle closed. The hose may burst from excessive
pressure. Use only reinforced high-pressure hose or
pipe for outlet pipe.
1. Connect inlet pipe or hose to pump. An adapter to
garden hose thread is included (Figure 1).
2. Connect the other end of inlet line to water supply.
3. Connect outlet pipe, or hose to pump.
Operation
Never run the pump dry. Running
pump without water will cause seal failure. Fill pump
with water before starting.
1. Remove priming port on pump and fill with water.
Reinstall priming port on pump (see Figure 2). For
boosting water pressure: Do not remove priming
port. Turn on water supply.

Risk of electrical shock! This pump
is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a grounded receptacle to
reduce the risk of fatal electric shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong on the power cord. Cutting the cord or plug
will make the pump unsafe to operate and void the
warranty.
2. Turn the pump switch to the “off” position.
3. This pump is only for use on 120 volt (single
phase), 60 Hz, 15 amp service and is equipped with
a 3-conductor cord and e-prong, grounding type
plug. Insert power cord directly into GFCI outlet
(see Figure 3).

4. Turn pump switch to the “on” position (see Figure
4). If the pump does not pump water within 5
minutes, turn off pump and refill with clean water.
If the pump does not operate after repeated
attempts, check the following:
- Vertical distance of pump to water level must not
be over 20 feet.
- Suction line must be airtight.
- All valves in suction and discharge line must be
open.
IL0458
Maintenance
Maintain adequate ventilation for the pump motor.
The motor bearings are permanently lubricated at the
factory. Additional lubrication is not required.
DRAINING FOR WINTER
Always protect pump and piping against freezing
temperatures. If there is any danger of freezing, drain
the system.
1. Disconnect suction and discharge lines from
pump.
