ponds with light debris laden water.

• Oil-lessdesign,shandplantsafe
• Impeller designed for passing debris up to
1/4" diameter
• 11/4" female threaded outlet with a 11/4" x
11/2" elbow included
• Triple sealed 115v motors with 18 month warranty

Safety & Electrical Connections
1. Always disconnect the electricity supply before handling,
maintaining, repairing or installing any pond equipment.
2. Always make sure you know the correct amps and voltage required
before installing.
3. Use dedicated power outlet only. Sharing the outlet with other equip-
mentmaycauseoverheatingandre.
4. EasyPro TLS pumps come in 115 volt only.
5. Always connect to a Ground Fault Circuit (GFCI) to prevent electrical
shock. Never submerge connecting power cable plug in water.
6. Never let the pump run without water as this will damage the
impeller, over heat and possibly burn out the pump. This pump
must stay submerged entirely when opeating. If used in a skimmer,
thedebrisnetmustbekeptcleantoensureadequatewaterowto
pump. Running pump low on water will cause overheating, premature
failure and will void warranty.
7. Do not use this product in bathrooms or swimming pools.
8. Do not let the water level in your water feature fall below the top of the
pump body.
9. Allelectricalworkmustbeperformedbyaqualiedtechnician.
Always follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) or the Canadian
Electrical Code as well as all local, state and provincial codes. Code
questions should be directed to your local electrical inspector. Failure
to follow electrical codes and OSHA safety standards may result in
personal injury or equipment damage. Failure to follow manufactur-
er’sinstallationinstructionsmayresultinelectricalshock,rehazard,
personal injury or death, damaged equipment, provide unsatisfactory
performance and may void manufacturer’s warranty.
10. Do not attempt to disassemble pump during the warranty period. If
there are any questions please contact your local EasyPro dealer.
11. Never use an extension cord or tamper with power cord. Power cord
cannot become bent, twisted, abraded or cut. A damged cable may
causeelectricleakage,shockorre.
12. The motor has a built-in protection system which stops the pump
when overheating occurs due to excessive load or low water, this can
becausedbycloggingatinlet/outletorwhenucuationsoccurin
power supply. The cooling time is roughly 15 to 20 minutes, then the
pump will automatically come back on. If the overload is tripped, it is
essential to identify and remedy the cause of the overheating.

Installation
• Do not paint casing, over heating may occur
• Liftonlybyhandle,notbypowercableoroatswitch
• Donothangpumpinwater,installonsolidatbaseinuprightor
horizontal position
• Install proper outlet adapter for pipe or hose
• Make sure that power cable plug and power outlet are away from
water and water discharge pipe/hose.
Operation
1. Do not start operation with people standing near intake or
outlet.
2. Do not operate out of water.
3. Pump must remain fully submersed.
4. Only use pump for circulation, transfer or removal of water with limit-
ed solids 1/4" or smaller.
5. Do not pump oil, salt water, sewage, food or chemical liquids.
6. Do not allow dry operation
7. Do not allow foreign objects to clog or enter intake
8. Incaseofpoweroutage,turnopowerswitchtoavoiddamagewhen
power is restarted.
9. Ifexcessivevibrationoccursturnopowerimmediately.
Service & Maintenance
1. Disconnect all power supplies before inspection or service to
avoid possible electrical shock.
2. The pump should be removed from the pond on a regular basis,
cleaned and checked over for damage to prolong the life of the pump.
3. Cleantheimpellerandintakescreenwhentheowisvisiblyreduced.
4. Clean the pump and impeller with clean fresh water.
5. Check inside the impeller housing for large debris or algae, which
couldreducetheow.
6. Check and tighten nuts and bolts if required, refer to dealer for advice
on other repairs.
7. Winterization/Storage: When the pump is out of use for extended time
- wash and dry it then store indoors in a non-freezing location. It is
best to store in a bucket with about an 8" water depth. It is essential
to prevent any risk of the pump freezing.
8. If the pump is left in water but not operating regularly, test run it at
least once a week.
