TP-250 Utility Pump

1.This pump has been designed to attach to a stan- dard garden hose. Thread the female end of the garden hose to the discharge on the pump.

2.To reduce leakage between the pump and the hose, place a hose washer (not included) on the garden hose before installing to the pump.

3.For best pump performance, unwind the hose before starting the pump. This will help remove any kinks or binds in the hose and allow the unit to pump with less restriction.

4.Place pump on a hard surface in the water. Do not set the pump directly on mud or sand surfaces. This will cause the inlet screen to clog.

Do not place pump directly on clay, gravel, or any loose or sandy surfaces. These surfaces contain small stones or sand that may clog or damage the pump. This could result in pump failure causing flooding and property damage.

5.The water level must be at least 1/2 inch for the pump to operate. Water levels less than 1/2 inch will not allow the impeller to contact water and no water will be pumped.

6.Inspect the power cord and GFCI plug for damage. If the plug is missing the grounding prong or the cord is damaged, do not install the pump until the cord has been replaced.

!WARNING

Never cut off grounding prong or use an adapter.

Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating correct- ly.

7.Plug the power cord into a grounded 115-volt AC power outlet. Make sure the electrical outlet is grounded and is rated for at least 15 amps. The pump will start operating as soon as the power cord is plugged into the power outlet. The indica- tor on the GFCI should be RED.

8.Press the TEST button. The RED indicator should disappear.

9.Press RESET button. The indicator should be RED. Do not use the pump if the indicator is not RED.

10.The pump will remove water down to 1/8 inches of the surface the pump was placed on.

11.The pump should be unplugged once the water has reached the 1/8 inch height, or pump will run dry.

Do not allow pump to run dry. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Operating the pump without water will damage the shaft seal and cause pump failure.

!WARNING When routing electrical cord protect cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chem- icals. Do not kink cord; replace any damaged cord immediately.

Maintenance Instructions

!WARNING Always disconnect the electrical supply or unplug the pump before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any mainte- nance. If the power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (OFF) position to prevent unex- pected power application. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock. Only a qualified technician should repair this unit. Improper repair could result in fatal electrical shock.

1.Check the operation of the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) each time the pump is used.

2.Keep pump inlet clean and free of all foreign objects. Inspect inlet at beginning of each use.

3.The motor housing is completely sealed and requires no service. Disassembly of the motor housing or alteration of the power cord could result in fatal electrical shock.
