Note: Make certain you unwind the garden hose completely. Kinks in the hose will restrict the pump,
preventing it from priming, which is the first step to pumping water. The water level must be at
approximately 1-1/2 in. for the pump to prime and operate.
1. Plug the pump (A) into a 115 volt GFCI power outlet.
WARNING: Do not let plug fall in water and do not stand
in water while the pump (A) is plugged in.
Automatic Operation
The pump (A) will only turn on if there is approximately 1-1/2 in. of water around the pump. Water must
make contact with the sensor probes of the pump in order for it to turn on.
When the pump (A) removes water down to approximately 1/4 in., the pump will run for an additional 30
seconds and then turn off.
Note: If the pump (A) does not turn off, remove the pump and check to make sure that water or other
debris is not still contacting the sensor probes.
The pump can remain plugged in and will automatically turn back on when water reaches approximately
1-1/2 in. again.
Note: Do not disassemble the motor housing. This motor has NO repairable internal parts and
disassembling may cause an oil leak or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
