CAUTION
This pump is designed to pump only water. This pump is designed for portable applications. It can drain
or remove water from the following: flooded areas, pool covers, clogged sinks, waterbeds, water
basins, boats, stock tanks, etc. It can also be used to fill tanks or water beds. This pump has not been
tested or approved for use in swimming pools or in salt-water marine areas. This pump should not be
used as a replacement for a sump pump.
This pump cannot be used in sewage applications. Doing so will void warranty.
This pump is made of high-strength materials. It will provide trouble-free service for many years when
properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate electrical power to the pump, or
blockage by ice, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to fail, potentially bringing about additional water
damage. To minimize the potential for water damage due to pump failure, please read the section of
this manual regarding common pump problems and remedies or call 800-201-1360
1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before servicing.
4. Secure the pump on a solid base to prevent the pump from tipping over and possibly falling into the
water
5. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured discharge
hose to "whip", possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
6. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and be sure
hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the greatest
amount of water quickly.
7. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet.
9. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. If an extension cord must be
used, use no more than a 25 ft., 3-prong, 16 AWG, outdoor-grade cord.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 5-amp minimum (15-amp maximum)
fuse or circuit breaker.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components to be sure pump inlets are free of mud, sand, and
debris. DISCONNECT PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and in the
workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
14. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a properly installed and grounded
3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use pump with a 2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong
outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Do not use damaged or worn cords.
