INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

High voltages capable of causing severe
injury or death by electrical shock are
present in this unit.
• Disconnect power and allow pump to cool completely before
working on or around the system.
• Connect the 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.
• 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 oil the motor. The pump's motor housing is sealed. Use of
oil could cause serious electric shock and/or permanent damage
to the pump.
• Protect the power cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the power cord. The power cord cannot
be replaced. If damaged, replace the pump.
• Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
1. Do not plug in the pump until all plumbing connections are complete and the pump is
secure.
2. Position the pump on a flat surface and uncoil the hoses to be used.
• Pump should be placed not more than 7 ft above the water source and not more
than 36 ft from the power source.
• If the suction line is longer than 6 ft, or the suction lift is higher than 6 ft above the
water source, install a foot valve.
• When used in a boat, the pump should not be installed in the bilge.
• The motor is designed to be used in a clean, dry location with an adequate supply
of cooling air. Ambient temperature around the motor should not exceed 104°F
(40°C). For outdoor installations, protect the motor from the elements by a cover
that does not block airflow to and around the motor.
3. Attach reinforced hose (included) or rigid pipe to the suction port.
• Avoid using looped section of pipe or hose that might permit air to become entrapped.
IMPORTANT:
Using unreinforced hose on the suction side of the pump could cause a loss of prime.
4. Attach the strainer to the end of the suction line to prevent debris from damaging the pump.
5. Place the end of the suction line or reinforced garden hose into the source of water to be moved.
6. Ensure the suction line is airtight and there are no holes in the pipe or reinforced hose.
7. Attach a regular garden hose to the discharge port (marked "Outlet Port").
8. Direct the end of the garden hose where the water is to be relocated. Secure the discharge hose to keep
it from moving due to water pressure.

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.
• Do not use this pump for pumping any liquid intended for
human consumption.
• Make sure the discharge line of the pump is secure before oper-
ating pump. If the discharge line is not secured it could move.
• DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY. Dry running (without liquid) for more
than 30 seconds will permanently damage the impeller. Prime
pump before starting to protect impeller. Be sure to turn off
pump when liquid supply is exhausted.
• Release all pressure within the system before disconnecting
plumbing connections.
• Do not let the unit freeze.
• Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and
operation instructions provided in this manual. 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.
