This instruction sheet provides you with the information required to
safely own and operate your product. Retain these instructions for
future reference.
The product you have purchased is of the highest quality workmanship
and material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable
service. These products are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged
to ensure safe delivery and operation. Please examine your item(s)
carefully to ensure that no damage occurred during shipment. If
damage has occurred, please contact the place of purchase. They will
assist you in replacement or repair, if required.
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR PRODUCT. KNOW
THE PRODUCT’S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL
HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING
ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE
INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE!
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Disconnect the pump from the power source before servicing or
removing any component.
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline,
fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump
should only be used with liquids compatible with pump component
materials.
Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet or
damp surface or in water.
This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or grounding
type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be
certain that it is connected to a properly grounded, grounding-type
receptacle.
In any installation where property damage and/or personal injury
might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to power
outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup
system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.
Failure to do so can cause piping to break, pump to fall, motor bearing
failures, etc.
If pump is oil-filled, the motor housing is filled with a dielectric lubricant
at the factory for optimum motor heat transfer and lifetime lubrication
of the bearings. Use of any other lubricant could cause damage and
void the warranty. This lubricant is non-toxic; however, if it escapes
the motor housing, remove it from the surface quickly by placing
newspapers or other absorbent material on the water surface to soak it
up so aquatic life is undisturbed.
This pump has been tested using water only. The suitability of this
pump for use with liquids other than water is the responsibility of the
end-user.
This pump is not intended for permanent mounting to a building
structure by bolting or similar means.
The National Electric Code (in the USA) and similar codes in other
countries require a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) to be
installed in the branch circuit supplying fountain equipment rated
above 15 volts. We recommend each pump be used with a GFCI.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect
to voltage other than that shown.
2. If pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong
is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical shock hazard.
DO NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug. A separate
1
branch circuit is recommended. Do not use an extension cord. Do
not cut the plug from the cord; this will void the warranty.
3. If the cord is equipped with stripped lead wires, such as on 230v
models, be sure that the lead wires are connected to the power
source correctly. The green/yellow wire is the ground, and the
blue (or white) and the brown (or black) are live.
4. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
5. DO NOT use sheet metal screws to secure the equipment
grounding conductor.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER
ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR PUMP.
OPERATION
WARNING: THE PUMP MOTOR IS EqUIPPED WITH AN
AUTOMATIC RESETTING THERMAL PROTECTOR AND CAN
RESTART UNExPECTEDLY. PROTECTOR TRIPPING IS AN
INDICATION OF MOTOR OVERLOADING AS A RESULT OF
OPERATING THE PUMP AT LOW HEADS (LOW DISCHARGE
RESTRICTION), ExCESSIVELY HIGH OR LOW VOLTAGE,
INADEqUATE WIRING, INCORRECT MOTOR CONNECTIONS, OR
A DEFECTIVE MOTOR OR PUMP.
The motor is a continuous-duty type, sealed in oil with an automatic
thermal overload protector device.
1. This pump is designed to operate completely submerged. It
can be placed in any position, but preferably the volute should be
located to the side. This will allow the motor to be completely
covered with the dielectric oil.
2. If the surface is dirt or sand, place pump on a flat surface such as
a piece of wood or metal to prevent it from being clogged.
3. The weight of the pump must be supported adequately. DO NOT
support the pump by the intake or discharge connections alone.
4. Do not restrict the pump’s intake. This can cause damage to the
seal and can starve the pump. To reduce the flow rate, place a
valve on the pump’s discharge or, if flexible vinyl tubing is used, a
clamp on the tubing.
The pump can run against a restricted discharge such as a
fountain without damage to the pump.
5. The pump is cooled by the fluid that it moves. Do not let the pump
operate dry. This can damage the seal and cause motor failure.
6. If the pump is going to be idle for an extended period, follow the
cleaning instructions in the MAINTENANCE section. Do not let the
pump freeze in the wintertime. This can cause cracking or distortion
that will damage the pump.
7. If a fused-type plug is used on 230V pumps, a 5.0 amp fuse is
recommended.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER
SOURCE BEFORE SERVICING OR REMOVING ANY COMPONENT!
CAUTION: The pump’s motor housing is completely sealed and
requires no service. Disassembly of the motor housing or alteration of
the power cord voids all warranty.
1. If the pump becomes clogged, remove the screen and clean out
the area.
2. If necessary remove the screws holding the volute to the motor
housing and clean the volute.
3. Reassemble the parts in reverse order, remembering to install the
gasket between the volute and the motor housing.
4. Inspect the power cord to ensure that it is in good condition and
has no nicks or cuts. NOTE: The power cord cannot be replaced.
In case of damage the entire pump must be replaced.
