Safety 2
SAFETY INFORMATION
Use this pump only on a 115
volt circuit. Pump is equipped
with an approved 3-conduc-
tor cord and 3-prong, grounding-type
plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
connect it to a properly grounded,
grounding-type receptacle.
If circuit has a 2-prong receptacle, replace
it with a properly grounded 3-prong recep-
tacle installed in accordance with the
National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances.
Any extension cord used must be outdoor
grade, gauge 16 AWG or heavier, and not
more than 25’ long.
Risk of fire or explosion if
used to pump flammable liquids or if used
in explosive atmospheres. Pump water
only with this pump. Pump is designed
to pump water at temperatures between
32°-77° F (0°-25° C) only.
Risk of electrical shock. Do
not allow the motor to get wet!
Risk of burns. During nor-
mal operation, motor case may heat
enough to burn you. Do not touch motor
when it is hot.
Do not operate the pump continuously at a
discharge pressure of more than 12 psi
(83 kPa) or discharge lift of more than
28’ (8.5 M), as the motor will exceed the
normal safe operating temperature and
may heat to 180° - 190° F (82° C - 88° C).
NOTICE: This unit is not designed for appli-
cations involving salt water or brine! Use
with salt water or brine will void warranty.

OIL THE PUMP
Oil the pump with 1/2 tablespoon food
grade mineral or vegetable oil with each
use. Pour the oil in the ‘IN’ port. Three 1/2
tablespoon oil packets are included.
NOTICE: The pump depends on the liquid
being pumped for lubrication.
DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY!
If the pump does not start to move water in
30 seconds or less, recheck the installation
and plumbing.
Mount the pump solidly on a stable
platform.
USE 1/2" HOSE (OR LARGER)
Use a reinforced hose on the inlet. The
pump should be less than 10’ above and
less than 25’ to one side of the water
source. Make the outlet hose as short as
possible – 25’ or less.
Check the washer in the inlet fitting to
make sure it is airtight. If this joint leaks
air, the pump will not operate.

KEEP THE HOSES AS STRAIGHT
AS POSSIBLE
To reduce friction, do not coil or kink the
hoses. When pumping from a well or
stream, raise the inlet hose a few inches off
the bottom to avoid sucking in sand, silt or
pebbles (which can disable the impeller).
Install a strainer or the Pud-L-ScoopTM
(included only with Model FP0F360AC) to
protect the pump from large solids .
NOTICE: Attach the Pud-L-ScoopTM to the
end of the inlet line and place it in at least
1/2" of water at the lowest point to be
pumped. Be sure all connections are air tight.
INLET HOSE GOES IN THE
WATER; OUTLET HOSE STAYS
OUT OF THE WATER. MOTOR
MUST STAY DRY
Make sure all inlet connections are tight
(no air leaks) and the inlet hose is in the
water. Make sure the end of the outlet hose
is
not under water. If the outlet is under
water, the pump may not work.
Plug the cord into a 3-wire, 115 volt,
60 Hz, grounded A.C. outlet.
You should get water in 30 seconds or less.
If not, add more oil and repeat the process.
If your pump does not prime on the sec-
ond try, check the impeller and the inside
of the pump head for wear. Replace as
needed.
In rare cases you may need to prime the
pump. To prime it, fill the suction hose
with water, put it back in the water source,
and start the pump.
The motor must have air circulation
around it for proper cooling. This pump
will lift water 12’; trying to lift water more
than 12’ can cause the motor to run hot.
The motor has a thermal overload which
will stop it if it gets too hot. If the motor
stops, allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before trying to start it again.

UNPLUG THE PUMP
Unplug the pump before all the water is
completely gone.
DO NOT RUN PUMP DRY!
PERFORMANCE
The pump will deliver 350 gallons/1325
liters per hour with an unrestricted dis-
charge line. If the discharge line is restrict-
ed or raised and the pressure on the pump
outlet port increases, it will pump less
water.
NOTICE: This pump’s motor has brushes.
Inspect the brushes frequently; replace
them if they’re worn.

Sécurité 8
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ
Utiliser cette pompe uniquement
sur un circuit de 115 volts. Elle
est équipée d’un câble conduc-
teur à 3 fils métalliques à prise à la masse. Pour
réduire tout risque d’électrocution, le brancher
à un réceptacle correctement relié à la masse.
Si un circuit a un réceptacle à 2 trous, le rem-
placer avec un réceptacle à 3 trous adéquate-
ment mis à la terre et posé conformément aux
normes du National Electric Code, aux codes de
la municipalité et aux décrets applicables.
Si on utilise un cordon prolongateur, il doit être
prévu pour être utilisé à l’extérieur et le calibre de
ses conducteurs doit être de 16 AWG ou plus gros.
Sa longueur ne doit pas dépasser 25 pieds (7,6 m).
Risque d’incendie ou d’ex-
plosion si la pompe est utilisée pour pomper des
liquides inflammables ou si elle est utilisée dans
une atmosphère explosive. Ne pomper que de
l’eau avec cette pompe. La pompe est conçue
pour pomper de l’eau dont la température varie
entre 0 et 25 °C (32 ° et 77 °F) seulement.
Risque d’électrocution. Ne
pas laisser le moteur se mouiller.
Risque de brûlures. Pendant
le fonctionnement normal, le carter du moteur
peut atteindre une température suffisamment
élevée pour causer des brûlures. Ne pas toucher
au moteur pendant qu’il est chaud.
Ne pas faire fonctionner la pompe en continu si
la pression de refoulement est supérieure à 83
kPa (12 lb/po2) ou si la hauteur de refoulement
est supérieure à 8,5 m (28 pi) sinon les tempéra-
tures de fonctionnement sécuritaires normales
de moteur seront dépassées et la chaleur pourra
atteindre 82° C à 88° C (180° F à 190 ° F).
AVIS : Cette pompe n’est pas conçue pour
pomper de l’eau salée ni de la saumure! La
garantie sera annulée si cette pompe est utilisée
pour pomper de l’eau salée ou de la saumure.

HUILER LA POMPE
Huiler la pompe avec 1/2 cuiller à soupe
d’huile végétale de qualité alimentaire ou
d’huile minérale chaque fois qu’on l’u-
tilise. Verser l’huile dans l’orifice repéré
«IN». Trois sachets d’huile de contenance
de 1/2 cuiller à soupe chacun sont fournis.
AVIS : La pompe est lubrifiée par le liquide
qu’elle pompe
NE PAS FAIRE FONCTIONNER LA POMPE
À SEC!
Si la pompe n’a pas commencé à faire cir-
culer l’eau dans 30 secondes ou moins,
revérifier l’installation et la tuyauterie.
Monter la pompe fermement sur une plate-
forme stable.
UTILISER UN TUYAU SOUPLE
DE 1,3 CM (1/2 PO)
(OU PLUS GROS)
Utiliser un tuyau souple renforcé sur le
côté admission. Cette pompe doit être
installée à moins de 3 mètres (10 pieds)
au-dessus de la source d’eau, et à moins
de 7,6 mètres (25 pieds) d’un côté ou
l’autre de la source d’eau. Le tuyau souple
de refoulement doit être aussi court que
possible, soit 7,6 mètres (25 pieds) de long
maximum.
Veiller à ce que la rondelle dans la garni-
ture d’admission soit hermétique. Si ce
joint n’est pas étanche et cause des fuites
d’air, la pompe ne fonctionnera pas.
