Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
APPLICATION AND OPERATION (CONTINUED)
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.Set the pump on a hard, flat surface in the water. Do not set the pump directly on mud or sand surfaces. This will cause the inlet screen to clog.
5.The water level must be at least
Do NOT handle pump with wet hands or when standing in water
or on a damp surface when the unit is operating or fails to operate. ALWAYS disconnect pump power cord from power source before handling.
6.Plug the pump into a 120 volt GFCI protected outlet. The pump will start automatically when the water reaches a depth of
7.The pump will stop automatically once water has been removed to a depth of approximately 3/8 of an inch above the hard surface. The pump will not restart until the water depth rises to
8.The pump will not allow itself to run dry. Once the pump detects that water is no longer being removed, it will shut down automatically. The pump must remain upright at all times in order for the water detection to function. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Do not allow the pump to operate on its side or inverted.
Do NOT alter the pump to override the automatic water detector. The shaft seal depends on water for lubrication. Overriding this pump feature can cause the pump to run
dry and may damage the shaft seal and cause pump failure.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Pump starts automatically. Always disconnect electric supply
before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock.
Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor housing of the pump is completely sealed and requires no service. If pump should fail to operate, perform the following troubleshooting guidelines:
1.Verify pumping height does NOT exceed 15 feet (See Figure 1). If pumping height is greater than 15 feet, this pump will NOT operate.
2.Verify water depth is
Do NOT disassemble or alter this product in any way. Failure to
follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death.
15 FT MAXIMUM PUMPING HEIGHT
WATER LEVEL MINIMUM:
Figure 1 - Pumping Height
3.To verify pump is operating correctly.
a.Disconnect pump from power source.
b.Connect hose adapter and discharge hose to pump.
c.Immerse pump in a bucket or tub of water at least
d.Place the other end of the discharge hose outside the bucket, so the water will pump out.
e.Plug power cord into a grounded 120 volt GFCI power outlet. The pump should start after 2 seconds of detecting water. Once the pump removes the water to a depth of 3/8 inch, the pump will stop automatically.
f.If pump does NOT operate, unplug power cord and proceed to maintenance – step 5.
4.To verify discharge hose is free from a blockage.
a.Connect hose to another water source such as a faucet. If water flows through hose, return to step 3a. If water is restricted, verify discharge hose is unwound. Remove all kinks, bends, or obstructions in hose.
b.If pump is still NOT operating, proceed to step 6.
5.Periodic cleaning of pump is required to maintain performance of the pump. Follow the cleaning steps listed below:
a.Unplug the power cord.
b.Remove the four (4) base screws (Figure 2).
c.Remove the base and impeller plate.
d.Remove the debris and make sure the impeller turns freely.
e.Reinstall impeller plate, base, and screws.
6.Check the priming hole for obstruction. (Figure 2). Follow the cleaning steps listed below:
a.Unplug the power cord.
b.Remove the four (4) base screws (Figure 2).
c.Remove the base and impeller plate.
d.Use a pin or paperclip to clean the priming hole and air escape channel.
e.Reinstall impeller plate, base and screws.
