5. Setup
- Attach Outlet Adapter: Select the appropriate multi-diameter outlet adapter for your hose size. Thread it securely onto the pump's discharge port. If using a flexible hose, secure it with a hose clamp (not included).
- Connect Hose: Attach your discharge hose to the selected outlet adapter.
- Position the Pump: Place the pump in the area to be drained. Ensure it is on a stable, level surface. The low-profile base allows for efficient water removal down to 1/2 inch.
- Submerge the Pump: Before plugging in, fully submerge the pump in the water. For initial use or after dry periods, submerge the pump at an inclined angle to release any trapped air.
- Float Switch Adjustment:
- Automatic Operation: Allow the float switch to hang freely. The pump will activate automatically when the water level rises and lifts the float, and will turn off when the water level drops and the float falls.
- Manual (Continuous) Operation: Secure the float switch in the upward position using the integrated clip on the pump handle. This will keep the pump running continuously, regardless of water level. Caution: Monitor the pump closely in manual mode to prevent dry running.
- Secure with Rope (Optional): If lowering the pump into a deep area (e.g., a well or septic tank), attach the provided transport rope to the handle for easy retrieval.

6. Operating Instructions
- Pre-Operation Check: Before each use, inspect the pump, power cable, and float switch for any signs of damage. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Power Connection: Plug the 26-foot power cord into a grounded 110-volt electrical outlet.
- Start Pumping:
- Automatic Mode: The pump will start automatically once the water level is sufficient to lift the float switch.
- Manual Mode: If the float switch is secured in the upward position, the pump will start immediately upon plugging in.
- Monitor Operation: Observe the pump during operation. Ensure water is being discharged efficiently and there are no unusual noises or vibrations.
- Shut Down:
- Automatic Mode: The pump will stop automatically when the water level drops below the float switch's activation point.
- Manual Mode: Unplug the pump from the power outlet to stop operation.
- Applications: This pump is suitable for draining swimming pools, basements, garden ponds, window wells, and rainwater collection buckets.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your sump pump.
- Disconnect Power: Always unplug the pump before any maintenance.
- Clean Impeller and Inlet: Periodically check the pump's inlet and impeller for debris (leaves, dirt, small stones) that may obstruct water flow. Clean thoroughly with water. The higher bottom plate design helps prevent debris collection.
- Inspect Cables and Connections: Examine the power cable and float switch cable for cuts, abrasions, or damage. Ensure all electrical connections are dry and secure.
- Check Float Switch: Verify that the float switch moves freely and is not obstructed by debris or the pump itself.
- Storage: If storing the pump for an extended period, clean it thoroughly, drain all water, and store it in a dry, frost-free location.

8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pump does not start | No power; Float switch stuck (in auto mode); Impeller jammed; Thermal overload activated. | Check power connection/outlet; Ensure float switch moves freely or is in manual position; Clear any debris from impeller/inlet; Allow pump to cool down and reset. |
| Pump runs but no water is discharged or flow is weak | Air lock; Clogged inlet/outlet; Kinked or blocked hose; Insufficient water level. | Submerge pump at an angle to release air; Clean inlet/outlet; Straighten hose or clear blockage; Ensure water level is above minimum suction level. |
| Pump cycles too frequently | Float switch improperly adjusted or obstructed; Water returning to pit. | Adjust float switch position; Ensure check valve (if installed) is functioning correctly. |
| Pump makes unusual noise | Debris in impeller; Dry running. | Disconnect power and clear impeller; Ensure pump is fully submerged. |
