INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
• To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before work-
ing on or around the system. More than one disconnect switch
may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
• Connect this pump to a circuit equipped with a ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by code.
• This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and
grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the third
prong from the plug. The third prong is to ground the pump to
help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
• Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power,
neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If not, a qual-
ified, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
• Wire pump system for correct voltages.
• The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump
should only be used with liquids compatible with pump compo-
nent materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible
with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the
electrical insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
• Do not use an extension cord.
INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
1. Do not plug in the pump until all plumbing connections are complete and
pump is secure.
2. Connect a garden hose directly to the 3/4" discharge or connect 1-1/4" MNPT
threaded pipe or hose to the 1-1/4" FNPT adapter included.
NOTE: The Discharge Adapter is a two piece design. To use with a garden hose,
unscrew the reducer from the elbow. The Adapter can also be rotated on the
pump flange to allow the hose to be placed in either a vertical or horizontal
position. When making these adjustments, be careful not to lose or damage
the seals.
3. Place the pump vertically on a solid surface in the water to be removed. The
water should be at least 1/2" deep. If the surface consists of dirt or sand, place
the pump on a flat surface such as a piece of wood or metal to prevent it from
being clogged.
4. Position the free end of the hose or pipe where the water is to be relocated.

Risk of bodily injury, electric shock,
or property damage.
• This equipment must not be used by children or persons with
reduced physical, sensory, or mental abilities, or lacking in expe-
rience and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children
may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or
in the immediate vicinity.
• Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump
power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing
the pump or switch.
• An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding,
resulting in personal injury or property damage.
• In applications where property damage and/or personal injury
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, an auto-
matic back-up system and/or an alarm should be installed.
• Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of
the pump will rise to a high temperature that could cause skin
burns if touched and will cause serious damage to the pump.
• Do not oil the motor. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling
is not required. The pump's motor housing is sealed. Do not
open the sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws.
Opening the motor housing could cause serious electric shock
and/or permanent damage to the pump.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and
operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and
operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future
use.
• Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
