5. Setup

  1. Connect Hoses: Attach the provided 6ft inlet suction hose to the intake port of the pump. Ensure the rubber gasket (from the replacement parts kit) is properly seated for a tight seal to prevent air leaks. Connect a standard 3/4 inch garden hose (not included) to the discharge port.
  2. Positioning: Place the pump on a stable, dry surface. The pump should be located within 6 feet of the water source, with a maximum vertical suction distance of 3 feet. The outlet hose should ideally be as short as possible and no longer than 25 feet for optimal performance.
  3. Install Suction Strainer: Attach the inlet suction strainer to the end of the 6ft inlet suction hose. This will help filter debris and allow the pump to remove water down to 1/8 inch.
  4. Prime the Pump: Before connecting to power, fill the pump with water through the inlet to wet the impeller and ensure it is primed. This is crucial for proper operation and to prevent damage.
  5. Lubricate: Add a few drops of vegetable oil (e.g., cooking oil, olive oil) to the intake side of the pump. This lubricates the internal gears and impeller, especially important for first-time use or after extended storage.

6. Operating Instructions

  1. Verify Setup: Double-check all hose connections, ensuring they are secure and the pump is properly primed and lubricated.
  2. Submerge Intake: Place the inlet suction hose with the strainer into the water source you wish to drain. Ensure the strainer is fully submerged.
  3. Position Outlet: Direct the outlet hose to the desired discharge location. Ensure the outlet is positioned above the water level of the source being drained.
  4. Power On: Plug the pump into a grounded 115V AC power outlet. Use the waterproof ON/OFF switch to start the pump.
  5. Monitor Operation: Observe the pump's operation. Water should begin flowing from the outlet hose shortly after activation. If water does not flow within 15 seconds, immediately turn off the pump, unplug it, and re-check priming and connections.
  6. Do Not Run Dry: Continuously monitor the water level of the source. Turn off the pump immediately if the water level drops below the intake strainer or if the pump starts to suck air.
