Installation and Operation
(Continued)
3. To verify discharge hose is free from
any blockage.
a. Connect hose to another
water source such as a faucet.
If water flows through hose,
proceed to step 3b. If water is
restricted, verify discharge hose
is unwound. Remove all kinks,
bends or obstructions in hose.
b. Verify pumping height does NOT
exceed 20 feet (See Figure 1). If
pumping height is greater than 20
feet, this pump will NOT work.
4. Periodic cleaning of pump is
required to maintain performance of
the pump. Follow the cleaning steps
listed below:
a. Unplug the power cord.
b. Remove the 4 screws in the
bottom of the base (Reference
No. 7 in diagram on page 3).
c. Remove the base (Reference No.
7).and inlet plate (Reference No.
6)
d. Remove the debris and make
sure the impeller turns freely.
e. Reinstall inlet plate, base and
screws.
3. For best pump performance, unwind
the hose before starting the pump.
This will help remove any kinks or
binds in the hose and allow the unit
to pump with less restriction.
4. Set the pump on a hard, flat surface
in the water. Do not set the pump
directly on mud or sand surfaces. This
will cause the inlet screen to clog.
5. The water level must be at least
1-1/2 inches for the pump to prime
and operate.
Water levels less than 1-1/2 inches
will not allow the impeller to
contact water and no water will be
pumped.
Do not
handle
pump with wet hands or
when standing in water or
on a damp surface when the
unit is operating or fails to operate.
Always disconnect pump power cord
from power source before handling.
6. Plug the power cord into a
grounded 115-volt GFCI power
outlet. The pump will start operating
as soon as the power cord is plugged
into the power outlet.
7. The pump will remove water down
to 1/2 inch above the hard surface
the pump was placed on.
8. The pump should be turned off once
the water level reaches the 1/2 inch
mark.
Do not allow pump
to run dry. The shaft
seal depends on water for lubrication.
Operating pump without water will
damage the shaft seal and cause pump
failure.
Maintenance
Always
disconnect electric supply
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform
any maintenance. Failure to do so could
result in fatal electrical shock.
Minimal service is required for this
pump. If pump should fail to operate,
perform the following troubleshooting
guidelines:
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 could result in
fatal electrical shock.
2. To verify pump is operating correctly.
a. Disconnect pump from power
source.
b. Disconnect discharge hose from
pump.
c. Immerse pump in a bucket or tub
of water.
d. Plug power cord into a grounded
115 volt GFCI power outlet. If
pump operates correctly proceed
to step #3. If pump does NOT
operate, unplug power cord
and proceed to maintenance
guideline item 4 in this section.
