2.This pump operates on 115V, 60 Hz AC, single phase or 115V DC.
3.Use an extension cord only if neces- sary. Follow the Extension Cord Length Table for proper gage of 3- wire, grounding type extension cord.
Risk of fatal electrical shock. Never cut off the round grounding prong. Cutting the cord or plug
will void the warranty and make the pump inoperable.
4.Figure 2 shows a typical installation. Threaded adapters are furnished for attaching garden hose where condi- tions permit its use. In no case should the pump be more than 15 feet above or away from inlet source. Install a foot valve and when suction lift is over 10 feet or when suction line is over 10 feet.
5.The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe, or reinforced hose. Small leaks in suction line
greatly reduce efficiency of pump and may prevent priming.
Ordinary garden hose will collapse
under suction pressure and should not be used in the inlet but for pressure boosting only.
6.Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond, or source where for- eign objects may be sucked into the pump. The strainer should prevent solids from entering the inlet line.
7.A regular garden hose may be used as a discharge line.
Operation
Pump must be filled with water
before operation. Running the pump dry will cause damage to the shaft seal.
1.This unit is not waterproof or weath- erproof and is not intended to be used in showers, saunas, or other potentially wet locations. The motor is designed to be used in a clean, dry location with access to adequate cooling air. Ambient temperatures around the motor should not exceed 104˚F (40˚C).
2.Remove priming plug and fill with water. Close plug
3.Plug power cord into GFCI protected electrical outlet. The pump will prime in a few minutes depending on suc- tion line length. Use of foot valve on suction line is recommended.
4.In the case of pressure boosting, turn water on before starting pump. This force primes the pump. Then, plug power cord into GFCI protect- ed electrical outlet.
5.Unplug cord to turn unit off.
Maintenance
Let pump cool for at least 20 minutes
before attempting to service. Motor may be extremely hot. Personal injury may result.
1.Pump should be checked periodically for proper operation.
Always disconnect the electrical supply
before attempting to install, service, or perform any maintenance. 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 qualified electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair could result in fatal electrical shock.
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
Brushes for this pump should be
inspected after 100 hours of operation.
Pumps with excess of 100 hours of oper- ation may stop operating or fail to start. This could be due to worn brushes or carbon
