Unpacking

When unpacking, check to make sure that the item is intact and undamaged. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number shown on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.

Installation

The submersible motor pump must be installed in a stationary position with either:

a. A fixed pipeline or b. A flexible hose pipe.

Please note!

1.Do not install the pump by suspend- ing it unsupported from its delivery pipe or power cord. The pump must be suspended from the handle or be placed on the bottom of the shaft. To ensure that the pump works properly, keep the bottom of the shaft free from sludge and dirt of all kinds.

2.If the water level sinks too low, any sludge in the shaft will dry out and stop the pump from starting. To help ensure the pump will start as re- quired, check the pump regularly with start-up tests.

3.The pump must be installed with an automatic float switch (not included) to prevent running dry.

Power Supply

1.The pump is equipped with a shock- proof plug according to regulations. The pump is designed to be connect- ed to 115 V~, 60 Hz safety socket.

2.Make sure that the socket is suf- ficiently secured and is in excellent condition.

3.When the plug is inserted into the socket the pump will be on standby.

WARNING! If the power cord or plug is damaged, do not use the pump. The power cord or plug may only be re- paired by a certified electrician.

Areas of use

1.This pump is designed for use as a basement pump. When installed in a shaft, this pump provides some pro- tection from basement flooding.

2.This pump can also be used to trans- fer water (e.g. household, farming, plumbing).

Operation

After reading these instructions, con- sider the following points before starting the pump:

1.Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the shaft, if it is not suspended by the handle.

2.Verify that the delivery pipe is prop- erly connected.

3.Verify that the electrical connection is 115 V~, 60 Hz.

4.Verify that the electrical socket is in good condition.

5.Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the power supply socket.
