Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Before start-up, note the following:

The pump must be connected to a GFCI protected plug which has been installed according to regulations. The plug must have a supply voltage of 120 VAC at 60 Hz.

CAUTION

This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.

WARNING

IMPORTANT! For your own safety - before starting to run the pump, please have the following items checked by an expert:

1. Risk of electric shock – This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-type receptacle.
2. Risk of electric shock – This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool areas.
3. The electrical connections must be protected from moisture.
4. If there is danger of flooding, the electrical connections must be taken to higher ground.
5. Circulation of caustic fluids, as well as the circulation of abrasive materials, must be avoided at all costs.
6. The pump must be protected from frost.
7. The pump must be protected from running dry.
8. Access by children should also be prevented with appropriate measures.
9. WARNING: To prevent death from electric shock, pump must be connected only to a GFCI protected outlet.
10. Do not use an extension cord with this item.
11. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
12. The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Fluid Type

The Pump is designed for use with water with a maximum temperature of 77° F (25°C). Do not use the pump for other fluids, especially not fuels, cleaning fluids, or other chemical products.

Specifications

Installation

The submersible motor pump must be installed in a stationary position with either:

1. A fixed pipeline or
2. A flexible hose pipe.

Please note!

1. Do not install the pump by suspending it unsupported from its delivery pipe or power cord. The pump must be suspended from the handle or be placed on the bottom of the basin. To ensure that the pump works properly, keep the bottom of the basin free from sludge and dirt of all kinds.
2. Position Pump on solid surface so that both hoses are free from kinks and the Float Switch is away from the inlet pipe and at least 1" away from all obstructions throughout its movement.
3. Fit a sump cover with a hole for the discharge pipe. Set the sump cover aside for now. Place unused end of discharge pipe as needed to direct the water discharge at least 3 feet away from the source. Slope the discharge pipe downward, away from the source. Note: The sump cover can also be fitted with a vent pipe, if desired.
4. Attach a discharge pipe to the Pump Outlet. Note: Wrap all threaded connections with PTFE thread seal tape.
5. Check Valve is sold separately. Install according to manufacturer instructions.
6. To prevent excessive cycling from backflow of water, install a check valve onto the discharge pipe. This prevents water from flowing back after the pump shuts off.
7. Connect additional Discharge Pipe as needed to direct the water discharge at least 3 feet away from the foundation. Slope the discharge pipe downward, away from the foundation. The discharge should be kept as short as possible with a minimum number of turns.

IMPORTANT: Do not exceed the Maximum Head Lift @ 0 Flow of the Pump.

2. If the water level sinks too low, any sludge in the basin will dry out and stop the pump from starting. To help ensure the pump will start as required, check the pump regularly with start-up tests.

WARNING: To prevent death from electric shock, pump must be connected only to a GFCI protected outlet.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: If the power cord or plug is damaged, do not use the pump. The power cord or plug may only be repaired by a certified electrician.

Operation

After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the pump:

1. Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the basin.
2. Verify that the discharge pipe is properly connected.
3. Verify that the electrical connection is 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
4. Verify that the electrical socket is GFCI protected and in good condition. Test GFCI protected outlet before use.
5. Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the power supply socket.
6. Verify that the pump is installed so as to prevent running dry.

Maintenance

WARNING TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Unplug the Pump from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. If the pump is moved during operation, flush it out with clean water after every use.

Quarterly Maintenance

The below maintenance must be performed at least once every 3 months under optimal conditions. For frequent use, or dirty areas, more frequent maintenance is required.

1. Clean sludge and debris from the bottom of the basin.
2. Clean sludge/debris from inlet screen.
3. Make sure discharge pipe is free from leaks.
4. Make sure check valve is functioning properly.
5. Manually operate flow switch to determine that pump turns on/off as intended.
