5. Setup

Before operating the pump, ensure proper setup to maximize efficiency and prevent damage:

1. Attach Hose: Connect the appropriate diameter outlet adapter (1 inch, 1-1/4 inch, or 1-1/2 inch) to the pump's discharge port. Securely attach your discharge hose to the adapter. Choose the largest possible diameter for your hose to achieve the maximum flow rate.
2. Positioning: Place the pump in the water to be drained. Ensure it is submerged at a slight angle initially to allow any trapped air to escape. This helps prevent airlocks and ensures the pump starts effectively.
3. Float Switch: The pump features an automatic float switch. Ensure the float switch has sufficient space to move freely and activate/deactivate the pump as water levels change.
4. Power Connection: Plug the pump into a grounded 120V~60Hz power outlet.

6. Operating Instructions

Once the pump is set up, it will begin operating automatically when the water level rises and activates the float switch. The pump will continue to operate until the water level drops below the float switch's activation point, at which time it will automatically shut off.

• Ensure the pump is fully submerged during operation to prevent overheating.
• Monitor the discharge hose to ensure water is flowing freely and there are no kinks or blockages.
• For manual operation or to override the float switch, some models allow the float to be secured in an 'up' position. Refer to your specific model's instructions for details.
