3.This pump operates on 115V, 60Hz AC, single phase.
4.Use an extension cord only if necessary. Follow the Extension Cord Length Table
for proper gage of 3-wire, grounding type extension cord.
Extension Cord Length Table
Wire size #18 #16 #14 #12
Length 25 ft 50 ft 100 ft 150 ft
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.
3. Figure 2 shows a typical installation. Threaded adapters are furnished for attaching
garden hose where conditions permit its use. In no case should the pump be more
than 15 feet above or away from inlet source. Use of foot valve on inlet line is recom-
mended.
Make sure the inlet hose is NOT coiled or kinkedabove or below
water level.
Figure 2
1.The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe, or non-collapsible hose. Small
leaks in inlet line greatly reduce efficiency of pump and may prevent priming.
Regular garden hose will collapse under suction conditions and should not be used in
the inlet, except for pressure boosting situations.

2. Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond, or source where foreign objects
may be sucked into the pump. The strainer should prevent solids from entering the
inlet line.
3. A regular 3/4” garden hose may be used as a dischargedline. Keep the total length
as short as possible to prevent excessive friction loss.
