QUICK START GUIDE
PLUGGING IN THE PUMP
Place the pump on a solid base in a
flooded area or any place that you
would like to remove water. Plug the
pump into a 115 V GFCI power
outlet.
2
OPERATING THE PUMP
Allow the pump to run and monitor its
progress.
Unplug the pump when it has removed
water down to approximately 1/2"
(12.7 mm).
3
CONNECTING GARDEN HOSE
Attach a garden hose with a 3/4" (19 mm)
garden hose thread (not included) to
the pump outlet.

Anti-airlock
hole
1 1/2” (38.1 mm)
NOTE:
• Be sure the 3/4" (19 mm) garden hose thread connector has a rubber gasket to minimize water leaks.
• The larger the inside diameter and the shorter the length of hose, the less pressure that is lost (or the larger the
flow rate).
• Place upright on a solid base.
• The pump must be standing in at least 1 1/2" (38.1 mm) of water before you start it. The shaft seal is water
lubricated and may be damaged if the pump runs dry.

This manual contains information that relates to protecting personal safety and preventing
equipment problems. It is very important to read this manual carefully and understand it
thoroughly before using this product.
• These precautions are intended for the personal safety of the operator and others working
with the operator. Failure to follow these instructions may result in a permanent loss of vision,
serious personal or even fatal injury, property damage and/or tool damage. Please take the time
to read and understand them.
• Wear safety glasses with side shields when operating the pump and verify that others in the
work area are also wearing safety glasses. Safety glasses must conform to both American
National Standards Institute (ANSI Z87.1) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA Z94.3)
standards requirements and must provide protection from flying particles from the front and the
sides. Failure to comply may result in moderate injury.
• The motor of this pump has a thermal protector that will trip if the motor becomes too hot. The
protector will reset itself once the motor cools down and an acceptable temperature has been
reached. The pump may restart unexpectedly if it is plugged in.
• This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free
service for a long time when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate
electrical power to the pump, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to fail. Please carefully read
the manual and follow the instructions regarding common pump problems and remedies.
• Mastercraft Canada is not responsible for losses, injury, or death resulting from a failure to
observe these safety precautions, or the misuse or abuse of pumps or equipment.
UNPACKING
• Upon receiving the pump, it should be inspected for damage or shortages. If damage has
occurred, file a claim immediately with the carrier that delivered the pump. If the manual is
removed from the packaging, do not lose or misplace.
DANGER!
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do not use in the presence
of flammable or explosive vapours. Using this pump with or near flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire,
resulting in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
• ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump before servicing.
• Do not touch the motor housing during operation. The motor is designed to operate at high temperatures. Do not
disassemble the motor housing.
• Do not handle the pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water before
disconnecting the power.
CAUTION!
• Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
• Know the pump and its applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
• Secure the pump to a solid base. This will aid in keeping the pump in a vertical orientation. This is critical in keeping the
pump operating at maximum efficiency. It will also help prevent the pump from clogging resulting in premature failure.
• Periodically inspect the pump and system components to ensure the pump suction screen is free of mud, sand, and
debris. Disconnect the pump from the power supply before inspecting.
• Follow all local electrical and safety codes, along with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC). In addition, all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Occupational Health and Safety
(OH&S) guidelines must be followed.
• Ensure the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump.
• Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could cause leaks, and ensure the hose is not
kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the greatest amount of water quickly. Also
check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.

SAFETY GUIDELINES
STORAGE
• Short Term—Pumps are manufactured for efficient performance following short, inoperative
periods in storage. For best results, pumps can be retained in storage, as factory assembled,
in a dry atmosphere with constant temperatures for up to six (6) months.
• Long Term—For storage of six (6) months, to twenty-four (24) months, the units should
be stored in a temperature-controlled area: a roofed-over, walled enclosure that provides
protection from the elements (rain, snow, wind, dust, etc.), and where the temperature can
be maintained between 4 and 40°C (40 and 104°F). If extended high humidity is expected
to be a problem, all exposed parts should be inspected before storage and all surfaces that
have the paint scratched, damaged, or worn should be recoated with a water-based, air-dry
enamel paint. All surfaces should then be sprayed with a rust-inhibiting oil.
• Pump should be stored in its original shipping container. On initial start up, rotate impeller by
hand to ensure seal and impeller rotate freely.
INSTALLATION
DISCHARGE
• Discharge piping should be as short as possible. A check valve is recommended for each
pump being used. The check valve is used to prevent backflow into the sump. Excessive
backflow can cause flooding and/or damage to the pump.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
• Power Cable—The cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way.
Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made in accordance with all
applicable electric codes. Do not use the power cable to lift pump.
WARNING!
• Release all pressure and drain all water from the system before servicing any component.
• Secure the discharge line before starting the pump. An unsecured discharge line will whip, possibly causing personal
injury, and/or property damage.
• Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a life threatening safety
hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water. We recommend the pump be plugged
directly into an outlet.
• This unit is designed only for use on 115 V (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an approved 3-conductor cord
and 3-prong grounded plug. Do not remove the ground pin under any circumstances. The 3-prong plug must be directly
inserted into a properly installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a
2-prong wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet) installed in
accordance with the CE code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
• Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use
damaged or worn cords.
• Failure to comply with the instruction and designed operation of this unit may void the warranty. ATTEMPTING TO USE A
DAMAGED PUMP can result in property damage, serious personal injury, and/or death.
• Ensure that the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10 A fuse or circuit breaker.
