SUBMERSIBLE UTILITY PUMP INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Always use the handle to lift the pump. Never use the power cord to lift the pump. To avoid skin burns,
unplug the pump and allow time for it to cool after periods of extended use.
CAUTION: 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. Connecting garden hose
Attach a garden hose with a 3/4 in. garden hose thread (not included) to
the pump outlet.
NOTE
Be sure a 3/4 in. garden hose thread connector has a rubber gasket to
:
minimize water leaks.
NOTE: The larger the inside diameter and the shorter the length of hose, the
less pressure that is lost (or the larger the flow rate).
2. Plugging in the pump
Place the pump on a solid base in flooded area or any place that you
would like to remove water. Plug the pump into a 115 volt GFCI
power outlet
WARNING: Do not allow the plug to fall in water and do not stand in water
while the pump is plugged in.
NOTE: Place upright on a solid base.
NOTE: The pump must be standing in at least 1-1/2 in. (38.1 mm) of
water before you start it. The shaft seal is water lubricated and may be
damaged if the pump runs dry.
3. Operating the pump
Allow the pump to run and monitor its progress.
Unplug the pump when it has removed water down to
approximately 1/2 in. (12.7 mm).
Remove the pump and hose from the location when finished
pumping. The hose still has water that can drain back through the
pump. Remove remaining water with a squeegee, mop, sponge,
towel, wet/dry vac, etc.
CAUTION: Do not run the pump dry. Operating the pump without water
will cause damage to the seals and will cause the pump to fail, thereby
void the pump's warranty.
NOTE: After starting, the pump will lower the water level to 1/2 in. (12.7
mm) before losing suction. It will not pick up water less than 1/2 in. (12.7
mm) deep when running and will not operate successfully if started in
only 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) of water.
