OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
UNPACKING
• Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or missing parts. If you have
concerns please contact customer support at 1-800-689-9928.
OPERATION
1. Connect the plug into a 115 V AC grounded outlet. The use of a GFCI is strongly
recommended. See figure 2.
2. The pump will not remove all water. It will drain water down to approximately 1/2”
(12.7 mm) of the floor.
3. Do not let the pump run dry. The pump depends on water for cooling and lubrication.
Operating the pump without water may cause the motor to overheat or cause damage to
internal parts. It may also shorten the life of your pump.
4. This pump is equipped with an anti-airlock hole. A stream of water will emit from this hole
when the pump is operating. This is a normal feature of this pump. The anti-airlock hole
should be cleaned periodically to prevent the pump from becoming air-locked.
5. Your pump motor is thermally protected. It is not recommended for pumping liquids over
120°F (49°C). The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an
overheat situation. The pump will reset itself once the pump cools down. This overload is
designed as a safety device and it will fail after repeated use. Normal operation is for fluids
between 32 and 120°F (0 and 49°C).
INSTALLATION
1. Thread the male cam-lock adaptor (included) into the pump discharge. Connect the female
cam-lock fitting (with hose, included) to the male adaptor and secure. Extend the hose
making sure there are no kinks or tight bends in the hose.
OR
Thread the 3/4” (19 mm) garden hose adaptor into the pump discharge. Attach a garden
hose (sold separately) to the garden hose adaptor. Extend the hose making sure there are
no kinks or tight bends. NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose
that is smaller than 1/2” (12.7 mm) inside diameter.
2. Install the pump on a hard, level surface in the water. If necessary, place bricks or patio
blocks under the pump to raise it off the bottom. Do not place the pump directly in mud,
sand or silt or on rocky surfaces as these materials can clog or cause damage to the pump.
Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting
to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.
All repairs must be made by an authorized service centre.
This submersible pump contains oil which may become pressurized and hot
under normal operating conditions–allow the pump to cool for 2–3 hours
before servicing.
