The RLMPTC portable utility transfer pump is intended for intermittent duty, moving water from one location to
another. The pump can be used to move water from flooded basements, watering lawns and gardens, and drain-
ing water heaters. It can also be used to boost water pressure for washing vehicles, sidewalks, and decks.
Do NOT use this pump for:
•
Submersible applications—submersion will immediately damage the pump
•
Transferring potable water
•
Effluent or sewage applications
•
As a pond pump, or for pumping seawater
•
Water hotter than 77°F (25°C)

The pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector, and may
restart unexpectedly. Thermal Protector tripping is an indication of motor overloading or
overheating. This can be caused by application issues such as an obstructed pump impeller,
pump running dry, excessively high or low voltage supply, or possibly a pump, motor,
bearing, or seal that has reached the end of its useful life.
Please examine your pump carefully to ensure that no damage occurred during shipment. If damage has
occurred, please contact the place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if required.
