Installation / Operation

INSTALLATION

Do not use power cord to lift pump.
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 pro-
vided with pump.
NOTICE: To keep friction as low as possible,
hose must be 3/4" (19 mm) or larger. Keep hose
as short as possible.
b. To install with rigid pipe, use plastic pipe. Wrap
thread with Teflon TM
Hand tighten 1 to 1 1/2 turns.
3. If in your application backflow is a problem when
the pump stops, prevent it by installing the 1" NPT
check valve (included) in the pump discharge.
4. Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115 V, 60 Hz.
operation and requires an individual branch circuit
of 15 A or more capacity. It is supplied with a
3-wire cord set with grounding-type plug for use in a
3-wire, grounded outlet. A 3-wire extension cord, of
at least 14 AWG (2 mm
er sizes for runs over 25' (7 m). For safety, pump
should always be electrically grounded to a suitable
electrical ground such as a grounded water pipe or a
properly grounded metallic raceway, or ground wire
system. Do not cut off the round grounding prong.
Pump motor is equipped with auto-
matic resetting thermal protector and may restart
unexpectedly. Protector tripping is indication of
motor overloading as a result of operating pump at
high pressure, excessively high or low voltage, inad-
equate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or
defective motor or pump.

OPERATION

Risk of burns or death from electric shock.
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, servic-
ing, or attempting to repair pump.
The Mastercraft heavy-duty submersible utility pump is
®
fully automatic in operation. The "smart" controller
starts the pump every 2 1/2 minutes and causes it to run
for 5 seconds. If it senses that there is no water in the
pump, it stops. If it senses water, it continues to run until
the water is pumped down to 3/16" (4.7 mm) deep, and
then it stops. It then goes into a 7 minute quick-detec-
tion cycle, starting 4 times the first minute, twice the
second minute, and once a minute for the next 5 min-
utes. If by the last check it has not detected water, it
resumes its cycle (running 5 seconds every
2 1/2 minutes) until it senses water again.
NOTICE: When you plug the pump into the wall outlet,
it will start and run for 5 seconds. It will then cycle as
described above.
If the unit is put in the water and started, interrupting the
water flow into the pump during the 5 second water-
sensing run will cause it to wait 2 1/2 minutes before
restarting.
1. The motor is equipped with an automatically reset-
ting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too
hot, the overload protector will stop the motor
before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled
sufficiently, the overload protector will reset itself
and the motor will restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump
repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and
check it to find the problem. Low voltage, long exten-
sion cords, clogged impeller, too much back pressure
in the discharge hose (as when pumping through 50'
(15 m) of coiled hose), or extended running of pump
with no load, can all cause overheating.
2. The water being pumped cools the motor, allowing
the pump to run continuously at any depth of water
above 3/16" (4.7 mm). However, if the motor over-
load stops the pump, allow it to cool for one hour
before restarting. Motor will not restart before the
overload has cooled.
AIRLOCKS
When a pump airlocks, it runs but does not move any
water. An airlock will cause the pump to overheat and
fail. This pump has an anti-airlock hole in the bottom of
the pump body. If you suspect an airlock, unplug the
pump, clean out the anti-airlock hole with a paper clip
or piece of wire, and restart the pump.
