OPERATION
NOTE: For best pump performance, unwind the hose before starting the pump. This will help remove any kinds or binds
in the hose and allow the unit to pump with less restriction.
1. The water level must be at least 2"for the pump to cycle, prime,and operate. Water levels less than 2" will not allow
the impeller to contact water therefore no water will be pumped.
2. Plug the pump into a properly grounded 115 volt GFCI protected outlet. The pump will start automatically when the
water reaches a depth of 2". A priming delay of 2 seconds is programmed into the control to allow time for air to
escape from the pumping chamber.
CAUTION: Use caution when positioning the pump not to damage the power cord by dragging across the edge of the
pool. Also take into consideration the placement of the discharge hose and power cord after installation. Make sure no
sharp edge can damage the power cord or discharge hose causing unsafe conditions.
3. The pump will stop automatically once water has been removed to a depth of approximately 3/4". The pump will
NOT restart until the water depth rises to 2" or greater.
4. The pump will NOT allow itself to run dry. Once the pump detects that water is no longer being removed, it will shut
down automatically. The pump must remain upright at all times in order for the water detection to function. Do NOT
allow the pump to operate on its side or inverted The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication, allowing the pump
to remain in any other orientation than upright could cause shaft seal failure or pump failure
NOTE: Do NOT alter the pump to override the automatic water detector. The shaft seal depends on water for
lubrication. Overriding this pump feature CAN cause the pump to run dry and MAY damage the shaft seal and
cause pump failure.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING:
Pump starts automatically. Always disconnect electric supply before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform
any maintenance.
CAUTION:
Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns, unplug the pump
and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
Do
When the power is disconnected, inspect the
pump inlets and remove all debris, then plug the
pump back into the grounded (GFCI) outlet.
Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires no service.
If pump should fail to operate, perform the following troubleshooting guidelines:
1. Verify pumping height does NOT exceed 13'. If pumping height is greater than 13', this pumps automatic feature will
not operate correctly.
2. Verify water depth is 2" or greater.
3. To verify pump is operating correctly.
a. Disconnect pump from power source.
b. Connect check valve and discharge hose to pump.
c. Immerse pump in a bucket or tub of water at least 2" in depth.
d. Place the other end of the discharge hose outside the bucket, so the water will pump out.
e. Plug power cord into a grounded 115 volt GFCI power outlet. The pump should start after 2 seconds of detecting
water. Once the pump removes the water to a depth of 3/4", the pump will stop automatically.
f.
If pump does NOT operate, unplug power cord and proceed to step 5.

Do Not
Disassemble the motor housing. This motor has
NO repairable internal parts, and disassembly
may cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring
issues.
Lift up the pump by the power cord.
