the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can
cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious personal injury and/or death.
Always disconnect the pump from its power source before inspection .
Do not stand in water when the pump is connected. Do not handle pump with wet hands.
Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating as the pump may be HOT and can cause serious
skin burns.
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembling
may cause dangerous electrical wiring issues.
CAUTION:
This pump is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free service for
many years when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate electrical power or
blockage by dirt could cause damage to the pump and void the warranty. 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 one of our pump experts at 1-888-538-0082.
This pump is not designed to function as a permanently installed pump. It is also not engineered to be
run continuously as a "fountain" or "waterfall" pump. The pump should be used with a 5/8 in. or larger
inside diameter garden hose.
For safety, the pump motor has an automatically resetting thermal protector that automatically will turn
off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and void the warranty.
Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow the
pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY CAUTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
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 as close to the source of water as possible.
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
ensure 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.
