INSTALLATION
High voltages capable of causing severe injury or death by electrical
shock are present in this unit.
•
To reduce risk of electrical shock, disconnect power before working on or around the system. More than one disconnect switch
may be required to de-energize the equipment before servicing.
•
Connect this pump to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device if required by code.
•
This product is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded grounding-type receptacle. Do not remove the third prong from the plug.
The third prong is to ground the pump to help prevent possible electric shock hazard.
•
Check electrical outlets with a circuit analyzer to ensure power, neutral, and ground wires are properly connected. If not, a quali-
fied, licensed electrician should correct the problem.
•
Wire pump system for correct voltages.
•
Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
•
Do not use an extension cord.
•
Do not use in swimming areas or marine applications.
Risk of bodily injury, electric shock, or equipment damage.
•
This equipment must not be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities, or lacking in experi-
ence and expertise, unless supervised or instructed. Children may not use the equipment, nor may they play with the unit or in
the immediate vicinity.
•
Equipment can start automatically. Always unplug the pump power cord and disconnect the electrical power before servicing the
pump or switch.
•
An inoperative or malfunctioning pump could lead to flooding, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
•
In applications where property damage and/or personal injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, an automatic back-up system and/or an alarm should be installed.
•
Do not run the pump dry. If run dry, the surface temperature of the pump will rise to a high temperature that could cause skin
burns if touched and will cause serious damage to the pump.
•
The pump has been evaluated for use with water only. Pump should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component
materials. If the pump is used with liquids incompatible with the pump components, the liquid can cause failure to the electrical
insulation system resulting in electrical shock.
•
Do not oil the motor. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. The pump's motor housing is sealed. Do not open
the sealed portion of the unit or remove housing screws. Opening the motor housing could cause serious electric shock and/or
permanent damage to the pump.
•
Operation of this equipment requires detailed installation and operation instructions provided in this manual for use with this
product. Read entire manual before starting installation and operation. End User should receive and retain manual for future use.
•
Keep safety labels clean and in good condition.
INSTALLATION
1. Do not plug in the pump until all plumbing connections are com-
plete and pump is secure.
2. Connect a garden hose directly to the 3/4" discharge or connect
1-1/4" MNPT threaded pipe or hose to the 1-1/4" FNPT adapter
included.
NOTE: To use with a garden hose, unscrew the reducer from
the elbow. The adapter can also be rotated on the pump flange to allow the hose to be placed in
either a vertical or horizontal position. Be careful not to lose or damage the seals.
3. Place the pump vertically on a solid surface in the water to be removed.
• The water should be at least 1/2" deep.
• If the surface consists of dirt or sand, place the pump on a flat surface such as a piece of wood or
metal to prevent it from being clogged.
4. Position the free end of the hose or pipe where the water is to be relocated.
