Both suction and discharge ports are tapped for 3/4" pipe. If using hoses, use hose to pipe thread adapter. To prevent suction line collapse, use pipe or reinforced hose only for suction line. Install strainer or puddle gulper on end of suction line. Inspect and clean strainer frequently (Fig. 1). Plastic pipe can be used for all installations.

PRIMING/OPERATION

NOTICE: Do not run pump dry. Running pump without water can damage impeller and may damage seal, caus- ing leaking or flooding, and will void warranty.

All suction connections must be airtight. Make sure suction lift is not more than 25' (7.6M). Fill pump body through priming port before starting pump. Start pump; it should pump water in under 10 minutes (depending on length of suction hose and height of pump above water).

ELECTRICAL

Risk of dangerous or fatal electric shock.

Unplug pump before servicing it. Do not handle pump or attempt to work on pump

with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp floor.

Plug pump into 115 Volt, 60 Cycle outlet only. Pump is equipped with 3-wire, grounded, cord and plug. Do not modify or remove plug. Plug in to properly grounded, grounding type outlet only. Make sure pump circuit meets National Electrical Code. To avoid dangerous elec- trical shock hazard, keep cord dry at all times.
