Read all safety warnings, instruc-
WARNING
tions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this pump. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and
instructions for future reference.
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate pump in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Motors create sparks which will
ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a pump. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating pump. Do not use
pump while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to portable
pump power base and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the pump. Carrying pumps with your
finger on the switch or energizing power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of pump allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
PUMP USE AND CARE
• Do not pump flammable or explosive fluids such
as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use
in a flammable and/or explosive atmosphere.
Personal injury and/or death could result.
• Risk of Electric Shock. Do NOT connect conduit
to pump.
• Do not place portable pump power base under
water or in wet areas. Place portable pump power
base in dry locations only.
• This pump has been evaluated for use with clear
water only. It is not designated to handle salt
water, brine, laundry discharge, or any other
application which may contain caustic chemicals
and/or foreign material. This pump is not suitable
for use with aquatic life. Pump damage or failure
could occur if used in these applications and will
void the warranty.
• Not for potable water or other potable liquids.
• Do not pump water with a temperature over 104°F
(40°C). Do not pump sand, particulate, or large
debris. Damage to the pump will occur.
• Do not allow pump to run dry for more than
10 seconds. Turn off pump quickly when job is
complete. Damage to the pump could occur.
• Do not allow this pump to operate unattended.
Failure to follow this warning could result in personal
injury.
• Do not pump water from a creek, pond, or source
where foreign objects may be sucked into the
pump. Solids may enter the inlet hose.
• Always remove battery pack before attempting
to install or service the pump. Never handle pump
with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp
surface or in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
• Do not force the pump. Use the correct pump for
your application. The correct pump will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Secure the discharge hose before starting the
pump. An unsecured discharge hose may whip.
Personal injury could result.
• Do not use the pump if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any pump that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Always remove battery pack from the pump
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing appliance. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
appliance accidentally.
• Store idle pump out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pump or
these instructions to operate the pump. Pumps
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain pump and accessories. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect
the pump's operation. If damaged, have the pump
repaired before use. Accidents can be caused by
a poorly maintained pump.
• Use the pump, accessories and etc. in accordance
with these instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the pump for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Disconnect the battery pack from pump. Release
all pressure within the system before servicing
any component.
• Drain all liquids from system before servicing.
• Periodically inspect pump and system compo-
nents, checking for weak and/or worn hoses.
Check impeller for wear or blockage. Ensure all
connections are secure.
• When servicing a pump, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance
instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or
injury and may void the warranty.
• Do not modify or attempt to repair the pump
or the battery pack except as indicated in the
instructions for use and care.
