DESCRIPTION
This portable utility pump is designed to be used as a transfer pump for such
applications as emptying water heaters, swimming pools, livestock tanks, boats,
etc. Pump can also be used for an intermittent pressure booster for applications
such as washing cars, cleaning driveways, etc. The motor is air cooled. It is NOT
designed to operate under water.
INSTALLATION
Always disconnect power source before
attempting to install, service or maintain the pump. Never handle a pump
with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in water.
Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is recommended.
Risk of electrical shock. This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. A grounded
receptacle in conformance with current NEC and local codes must be used.
2. This pump operates on 115V, 60Hz AC, single phase.
Risk of fatal electrical shock. Never cut off the
round grounding prong. Cutting the cord or plug will void the warranty
and make the pump inoperable.
3. Figure 1 shows a typical installation. Threaded adapters are furnished for
attaching garden hose where conditions permit its use. In no case should the
pump be more than 15 feet above or away from inlet source. Use of foot valve
on inlet line is recommended.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the inlet hose is NOT coiled or kinked above or
below water level.
15 Ft. Inlet Line Length Max.
OUT
4. The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe, or non-collapsible hose.
Small leaks in suction line greatly reduce efficiency of pump and may prevent
priming.
IMPORTANT: Typical garden hose will collapse under suction conditions
and should not be used in the inlet, except for pressure boosting
situations.
5. Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond, or source where foreign
objects may be sucked into the pump.
6. A regular 3/4" garden hose may be used as a discharge line. Keep the total
length as short as possible to prevent excessive friction loss.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT: Pump must be filled with water before operation. Running
the pump dry or pumping any sand or other abrasives will cause damage
to the shaft seal or impeller and void the warranty.
1.
permanently installed outdoors. If installed outdoors, care should be taken to
protect the unit from rain and other elements of the weather. This unit is not
waterproof or weatherproof and is not intended to be used in showers, saunas,
or other potentially wet locations. The motor is designed to be used in a clean,
dry location with access to adequate cooling air. Ambient temperature around
the motor should not exceed 104 °F (40 °C).
2. Remove priming plug and fill with water. Reinstall plug.
IMPORTANT: To help with the priming of the pump, a foot valve can
be installed on the suction line. The use of a foot valve is strongly
recommended to be installed on inlet lines lifting over five feet.
3. Plug power cord into GFCI protected electrical outlet. The pump will prime in
a few minutes, depending on inlet line length.
IMPORTANT: To avoid internal pump damage, if after five minutes the
pump has not begun pumping water, turn off the pump, remove the
priming plug, re-fill pump with water, reinstall priming plug and plug
pump back in.
4. In the case of pressure boosting, turn water on before starting pump. This
force primes the pump. Then, plug power cord into GFCI protected electrical
outlet.
MAINTENANCE
Let pump cool for at least 20 minutes before attempting
to service. Motor may be extremely hot. Personal injury may result.
1. Pump should be checked periodically for proper operation.
Always disconnect the electrical supply
before attempting to install, service, or perform any maintenance. If the
power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (off) position to
prevent unexpected power applications. Disconnect electrical cord from
power supply. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock. Only
qualified electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair could result
in fatal electrical shock.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
IMPORTANT: Brushes for this pump should be inspected after every 100
hours of operation.
Pumps with excess of 100 hours of operation may stop operating or fail to start.
This could be due to worn brushes or carbon build-up. The brushes should be
removed and carbon removed. Worn brushes are not covered under warranty.
1. Disconnect electrical cord from power supply.
2. Remove brush caps with screwdriver.
3. Remove old brush assembly.
4. Insert new brush assembly.
5. Replace brush caps.
For other problems, consult troubleshooting chart.
