SAFETY GUIDELINES
Your pump is an electrical product and caution should be used when
handling the pool cover pump or its electrical cord. Small children or
pets may require restraining devices to prevent them from entering
wet areas surrounding the pump or its power supply connections.
When installing this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
1. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children
to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all
times. This pump should not be used to drain the pool or spa
cover if there are people in the water. This pump has been
investigated for draining swimming pool or spa covers only.
2. WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Connect only to a grounding
type receptacle protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that
the receptacle is protected by a GFCI.
3. WARNING: Do not bury cord. Locate cord to minimize contact
with lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, and other equipment.
4. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace
pump that has a damaged cord immediately.
5. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use
extension cord to connect unit to electric supply; provide a
properly-located outlet.
6. Never pump chemicals or corrosive liquids with this pump. This
could damage the integrity of the enclosure and cause an electrical
short. This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

8. If service is required, proceed carefully. The pump and surrounding
areas may be covered with water. Never plug or unplug the device
while standing in wet or damp surfaces. If necessary, remove
power at the breaker panel or have certified electrician remove
power before attempting to service. Serious or fatal shocks could
result if proper procedures are not followed.
a) Disconnect the power at the main electrical service box by
switching the appropriate circuit breaker or removing fuse.
In applications where screw type fuses are used, remove
only with one hand while other hand or torso are free from
contact with anything. Do not stand in water and do not
touch any other conductive surfaces.
b) Remove pump cord plug only after the power to the sup-
ply outlet has been removed. See Service Instructions
before proceeding.
9. Remove pump when conditions will cause water to freeze.
Freezing water may result in rupture to pump and could result in
possible electrical short.

INSTALLATION
Do not energize pump (connect to power source) until pump is
properly located on pool cover.
Be certain electrical outlet to be used meets the requirements of the
National Electrical code, as well as local electrical codes, including
grounding and GFCI protection. Also verify that outlet is properly
sized and located for this pump. Your installation may require a
certified electrician or plumber. See ELECTRICAL section.
If necessary, check your plumbing codes to verify that final
installation will be in compliance with their requirements.
1. Remove the pump from the carton and install the hose
adaptor to the pump discharge.
2. Connect a garden hose to the hose adaptor. The free end of
the discharge hose must be secured so that it cannot blow
back onto the pool cover in high wind.
3. Gently lower pump onto the pool cover by holding on to the
garden hose. Be certain that you do not pull power cord plug
onto pool cover. Use garden hose to position pump on the pool
cover. It is recommended that two people position the pump.
One person should hold onto electrical cord plug while second
person positions pump at desired location on pool cover. Once in
position, the pump is ready for testing. See ELECTRICAL section.
NOTE: Become familiar with the SAFETY GUIDELINES. During
the rainy season, you should check daily to see that your pump is
functioning properly. Also, if you experience high winds or excessive
movement of the pool cover, be certain that the power supply cord
has not been pulled onto the cover and that the pump is still oriented
with the discharge hose properly positioned. If you plan to be away
from your pool for extended periods of time, it is recommended that
a friend or neighbor periodically check your pool cover pump and
verify that everything is still functioning properly. Be sure to review the
SAFETY GUIDELINES and ELECTRICAL sections with them!
