Before installation, check your local electrical and
plumbing codes. These regulations are for your
safety.
1) Location:
Locate pump on a solid level foundation.
a) Do not suspend pump from electrical cord.
b) Do not suspend pump from discharge pipe.
c) Keep pump inlet screen clear.
2)
WARNING
- RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
All connections must be made into a grounded outlet.
A ground fault interrupter (GFI) protected circuit is
recommended for use with any electrical appliance
operating in or near water.
The electrical power outlet required for this pump is a
separate 15 amp circuit of 115 volts, AC 60HZ, with a
proper fused switch in the line. This must be located
within 8 feet of the pump. The ground terminal on the
plug is provided for your protection. Do not remove.
Plug the pump cord into the 115 volt grounded service
and connect the discharge piping, your pump is then
ready for operation.
3) Discharge Piping - Rigid Pipe:
a) The pump has a threaded discharge opening.
b) PVC or ABS adapters may be used to adapt to
other sizes of pipe.
c) We recommend that you not reduce the discharge
pipe size, use as large as possible.
d) Keep piping length to a minimum (extra length
increases friction losses).
If the pump is placed into the water while running, it will
air lock. This means that air is trapped in the pump,
preventing it from pumping water. To avoid this, always
Your pump has been built to give many years of sat-
isfactory service. No regular maintenance is required
since the pump is completely self lubricating. The fol-
lowing routine checking procedure is recommended to
be carried out once a year and is especially important
for occasional use applications.
a) Check the power cords and electrical outlet for
damage or corrosion.

4) Discharge Piping - Garden Hose:
a) Thread garden hose adapter into pump. Note:
Fine threads go into pump, coarse threads are for
garden hose.
b) Attach garden hose, shorter hose lengths will allow
better fl ow from the pump.
AIR LOCKING
place the pump in the water when it is off, and then
plug it in. If the pump does air lock, simply unplug it
and then plug it back in.
