INSTALLATION
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. Do not use power cord to lift motor. Always use the handle.
1.Pump should be located and should rest on level solid foundation. Do not suspend pump by means of discharge pipe or power cord. Keep pump inlet screen clear.
2.Use a standard 3/4" garden hose or a 1" ID hose for the side discharge.
NOTICE: To keep friction as low as possible, hose must be 3/4" or larger. Keep the hose as short as possible.
3.If, in your application, backflow is a problem when the pump stops, prevent it by installing a 1" NPT check valve in the pump discharge pipe.
4.Power Supply: Pump is designed for 115V., 60 HZ. operation and requires an individual branch circuit of 15 amperes or more capacity. It is supplied with a
Personal injury. The pump motor is equipped with automatic resetting thermal protec- tor and may restart unexpectedly. The protector trip- ping is an indication of motor overloading as a result of operating pump at low heads (low discharge re- striction), excessively high or low voltage, inade- quate wiring, incorrect motor connections, or a defective motor or pump.

OPERATION
Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn or cause death. Do not handle pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface, or in water. Disconnect power from pump before handling or servicing pump.
The Geyser JuniorTM is fully automatic in operation. The pump will continue to run until the water is pumped down to 3/8" deep, and then it stops.
NOTICE: When you plug the pump into the wall outlet, it will operate continuously, whether partly or fully submerged.
1.The motor is equipped with an automatically reset- ting thermal overload protector. If the motor gets too hot, the overload protector will stop the motor before it is damaged. When the motor has cooled sufficiently, the overload protector will reset itself and the motor will restart.
NOTICE: If the overload protector stops the pump repeatedly, disconnect the power from the pump and check it to find the problem. Low voltage, long exten- sion cords, clogged impeller, too much back pressure in the discharge hose (as when pumping through 50’ (15 M) of coiled hose), or extended running of pump with no load, can all cause overheating.
2.The water being pumped cools the motor, allowing the pump to run continuously at any depth of water above 3/8". However, if the motor overload stops the pump, allow it to cool for one hour before restarting. Motor will not restart before the overload has cooled.
MAINTENANCE
A clogged inlet can reduce the pump’s performance. A clogged inlet screen can usually be cleaned out by back flushing with a garden hose through the pump’s dis- charge pipe.
