This document is an instruction manual for the Mastercraft Submersible Utility Pump, model no. 062-3406-0. It provides essential information for the safe and effective operation of the pump, including technical specifications, installation instructions, operating procedures, troubleshooting, and warranty details.
Function Description:
The Mastercraft Submersible Utility Pump is designed for pumping water. It is a cordless, battery-powered unit, making it portable and suitable for various applications where a power outlet may not be readily available. The pump is intended for use with clean, cold, fresh water only and should not be used with acids, alkalines, solvents, flammable materials, gasoline, petroleum products, bleaches, or industrial-grade solutions, as these can cause physical injuries and irreversible damage to the pump. Its submersible design allows it to be placed directly into the water source.

For optimal performance, the manual recommends a maximum hose length of 100' (30 m). The pumping capacity is influenced by factors such as hose diameter and length; a larger diameter and shorter hose length reduce pressure loss and increase flow rate. For uphill or extra-long hose runs, a larger diameter pipe is recommended.
Usage Features:
- Portability: Being battery-powered, the pump offers cordless operation, enhancing its versatility for various utility tasks.
- Easy Installation: The pump is designed for straightforward setup, requiring attachment of a 3/4" (1.9 cm) standard garden hose to the included adaptor on the pump. The standard fitting size is 1 inch, but adaptors allow for larger fittings and hoses to increase flow rates.
- Simple Operation: The pump is started and stopped using a single ON/OFF switch.
- Battery Level Indicator: An LED indicator shows the battery charge level (1 light for 30%, 2 lights for 60%, 3 lights for 100%) and flashes during charging.
- Internal Protection Functions: The pump includes built-in protection functions indicated by LED flashes, such as:
- 1 LED flash: Pump running dry.
- 2 LEDs flash: Overload.
- 3 LEDs flash: Battery fault.
- Charging: The pump is recharged by connecting the supplied charger to the charging port, which is protected by a waterproof nut and O-ring.
- Safety: The pump should always be placed on a level, solid base to prevent clogging and ensure vertical operation. It should not be suspended by the discharge hose or power cord. Users are advised to wear safety glasses and follow all electrical and safety codes.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Monitoring: The pump must be monitored frequently (at least once a month, or more if used in debris-filled water) to prevent clogging, which can lead to motor seal weakening and water contact with the electric motor.
- Cleaning: The work area should be kept clean and well-lit. The pump and its handle should be kept dry, clean, and free from oil and grease, using a dry cloth for cleaning. Harsh chemicals like brake fluids, gasoline, or petroleum-based products should not be used for cleaning.
- Inlet Screen Maintenance: The pump inlet screen should be kept clear of mud, sand, and debris to maintain pumping efficiency.
- Hose Inspection: Before use, the discharge hose should be checked for holes, excessive wear, kinks, or sharp angles to ensure optimal water flow and prevent leaks.
- Battery Care: Recharge only with the supplied charger. Disconnect the power supply before making adjustments or storing the product. If the lithium-ion battery fails, contact customer service; do not attempt to change the battery. Avoid contact with battery liquid, and flush with water if contact occurs.
- Water Drainage: Drain water from the pump before servicing.
- Storage: When not in use, unplug the product and disconnect the battery.
Safety Precautions:
- Never stand in water with a running pump.
- Do not operate in explosive atmospheres.
- Keep children and bystanders away.
- Protect the power cord from damage during charging.
- Do not overreach; maintain proper footing and balance.
- Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before connecting to power or battery.
- Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
- Always use the handle to lift the pump, never the power cord.
- Allow the pump to cool after extended use to avoid skin burns.
- Ensure all hose connections are secure to prevent leaks and slippery surfaces.
- Never let the pump run without water to prevent seal damage and overheating.
- Disconnect power before inspecting the pump.
- Do not use attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer.
- Turn off the pump when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or not using it to prevent accidental start-up.
The product carries a three (3) year LIMITED warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, but this warranty does not cover wear or breakage due to misuse and/or abuse.
