OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Allow the pump to run and monitor its
progress.
• Unplug the pump when it has removed water
down to approximately 1/2” (12.7 mm).
• Remove the pump and hose from the location
when finished pumping. The hose still has
water that can drain back through the pump.
Remove remaining water with a squeegee,
mop, sponge, towel, wet/dry vac, etc.
This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to
efficiently remove water. However, it cannot move
air. If air is trapped inside the pump (a condition
called “airlock”), the pump cannot pump water out
even though the pump is completely submerged.
This pump has an anti-airlock hole. Air flows out
through the anti-airlock hole, eliminating the airlock
so that the pump can operate properly. If debris
blocks the anti-airlock hole, unplug the pump, clean
out the anti-airlock hole, and restart the pump.
Alternately, drain the water out of the garden hose,
keep the end of the hose out of the water, and plug
in the power cord, restarting the pump.
OPERATION
AIRLOCK
CAUTION!
• The anti-airlock hole is for anti-airlock purposes only. Leakage of air or water is normal and necessary.
DO NOT REMOVE OR PLUG THE ANTI-AIRLOCK HOLE!
• Do not run the pump dry. Operating the pump without water will cause damage to the seals and will
cause the pump to fail, thereby voiding the pump’s warranty.
NOTE:
• After starting, the pump will lower the water level to 1/2" (12.7 mm) before losing suction. It will not pick up
water less than 1/2" (12.7 mm) deep when running and will not operate successfully if started in only 1/2"
(12.7 mm) of water.
