INSTALLATION & OPERATION
BOOSTING CITY WATER PRESSURE
RISK OF EXPLOSION. HAZARDOUS PRESSURE.
When using a garden hose as a discharge line, do not run
the pump with the hose outlet or the nozzle closed. The
hose or the nozzle may burst from excessive pressure. See
Figure 2.
Figure 2 – Do Not Run Pump With Outlet Shut Off
When using the pump as a high-pressure washer, use only
reinforced high pressure hose or pipe for the discharge line.
When using a garden hose, install adapters on the pump
suction and the discharge. The suction hose will require two
female ends. Use a standard washing machine supply hose
as a suction line (Figure 1).
LAWN SPRINKLING APPLICATION
Connect the suction hose to the faucet on the outside of the
house (Figure 3) and to the pump suction. Use a standard garden
hose for discharge. The pump can supply up to 3-4 sprinklers
(depending on GPM output of the sprinklers).
Connect the Pump Inlet
to the Water Faucet
for use with Sprinklers.

ELECTRICAL
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CAN SHOCK, BURN OR
KILL.
Plug the pump into a 115 Volt, 60 Cycle, Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected grounded outlet only.
The pump is equipped with a 3-wire, grounded, cord and
plug. Do not modify or remove the plug.
Make sure the pump circuit meets the National Electrical
Code (in USA) or the Canadian Electrical Code (in Canada).
To avoid dangerous electrical shock hazard, keep the cord
dry at all times.
If using an extension cord, use the table below to size the
extension cord.
LUBRICATION
The motor is lubricated at the factory for the life of the
bearings.
The pump seal is water cooled and self lubricating.
PUMP SERVICE
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. CAN SHOCK, BURN OR
KILL.
Unplug the pump before servicing it.
Do not handle the pump or attempt to work on the pump
with wet hands or while standing on a wet or damp floor.
The motor has an auto-reset thermal overload protector. If
the motor overheats, the overload will cut off the power to
prevent damage and will reset after the motor cools. If the
overload trips repeatedly, check the pump for the cause
(low voltage, a clogged impeller, etc.).
