SAFETY
SAFETY
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble
operates or install the product. If you have any questions regarding the product,
please call customer service at 1-800-689-9928.
WARNING
• Running the pump without sufficient water will damage the pump and void the
pump's warranty.
• 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 pump from its power source before inspection .
• Do not stand in water when the pump is connected. Do not handle pump with
wet hands.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating as the pump may be HOT
and can cause serious skin burns.
• Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal
parts, and disassembling may cause dangerous electrical wiring issues.
CAUTION
• This pump is made of high-strength corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide
trouble-free service for many years when properly installed, maintained, and
used. However, inadequate electrical power or blockage by dirt could cause
damage to the pump and void the warranty. To minimize the potential for water
damage due to pump failure please read the section of this manual regarding
common pump problems and remedies or call one of our pump experts at
1-800-689-9928.
• This pump is not designed to function as a permanently installed pump. It is also
not engineered to be run continuously as a “fountain” or “waterfall” pump. The
pump should be used with a 5/8" (1.6 cm) or larger inside diameter garden hose.
• For safety, the pump motor has an automatically resetting thermal protector that
automatically will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature
will damage the pump and void the warranty.
• Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe
temperature, it will allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged
in, it may restart unexpectedly.

SAFETY
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards.
2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of
the pump.
3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system
before servicing.
4. Secure the pump on a solid base as close to the source of water as possible.
5. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause
an unsecured discharge hose to “whip”, possibly causing personal injury
and/or property damage.
6. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear, which could
cause leaks, and ensure hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight
hose allows the pump to move the greatest amount of water quickly.
7. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
8. Connect the pump directly to a grounded GFCI outlet.
9. 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. If using a 50' (15.2 m) cord,
use 16-gauge wire. If using 100' (30.5 m) cord, use 14-gauge wire.
10. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 10 A or larger
fuse or circuit breaker.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components to ensure that the pump
inlets are free of mud, sand and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE
POWER SUPPLY BEFORE INSPECTING.
12. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
13. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code
(NEC) or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), and in the workplace, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) or the Canadian Centre for
Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS).
14. 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, grounding-type
receptacle. Do not use the 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 NEC or CEC and local codes and ordinances.
AII wiring should be performed by a qualified electrician.
15. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

INSTALLATION PREPARATION
Estimated Assembly Time: 5 minutes
Materials Required for Assembly (sold separately): 3/4" (1.9 cm) foot valve,
1" (2.5 cm) discharge tee, 100# pressure gauge, thread tape, 3/4" (1.9 cm)
standard garden hose (for discharge), and 3/4" (1.9 cm) heavy-duty garden
hose (for suction).
This pump is designed to sprinkle lawns and small gardens from lakes, ponds,
or rivers, empty or fill stock tanks, remove standing water from flooded areas
or transfer water. Flammable liquids such as gasoline, chemicals, or corrosive
liquids should never be used with this pump.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
• Never install a shutoff valve in the suction or discharge of this pump. This will cause excessive friction
loss and will damage the pump and void the warranty.
• AII connections must be air tight. A single leak will prevent proper operation of the pump and may
cause the pump to run dry. If the pump runs dry, this will void the warranty.
NOTE:
• If standard garden hose is used for suction line, the hose could collapse, allowing the
pump to run dry. This could cause permanent damage and void warranty.
• This pump is not intended for permanent installation or long, extended periods of
continuous operation.
• This pump is not to be used with pop-up sprinklers.
WARNING:
• Always use handle to lift pump. Never use a power cord to lift pump. To avoid skin burns
unplug and allow time for the pump to cool after periods of extended use. Before
beginning assembly of product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with
package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged do not attempt to assemble the
product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.
