HOW IT WORKS
§
Canister surrounding the pump diffuses
water suction pressure over a large area
§
Fine mesh openings allow particles
<6.35mm (.25 inch) to pass
§
Patented, free-flow design technology
allows water in, and leaves debris behind
THE NON-CLOGGING SOLUTIONTM 3
§
Integrated Internal Vertical float
guarantees operation despite debris
§
Optional burlap sack accessory
eliminates erosion concerns
§
Uses standard electric current – 110 Volt
@ 60Hz
§
Portable and easy to carry at 34 lbs.

THE NON-CLOGGING SOLUTIONTM 6

THINGS TO KNOW
§
Pump and motor section form a pressure-tight encapsulated unit
§
Motor housing constructed from stainless steel
§
Shaft is made of stainless steel
§
Impeller made of Polyurethane (a very tough and corrosion resistant plastic)
§
Watertight cable inlet connection chamber with wick-free cover and and built-in
strain relief
§
Water being pumped flows around the motor housing for optimum heat
dissipation
§
Motor is dynamically balanced with temperature monitor in the stator, which
switches off the pump in the case of overheating and switches on again
automatically after cooling down
§
Environmentally safe oil-free motor with food-grade lubricant
§
Air filled capacitor start motor

SAFETY INFORMATION
§
Pump water only
§
Never use worn or damaged cables. Inspect for cuts in the insulation.
§
Never attempt to use the power cord as a lifting or lowering device for
the pump
§
Always lift the pump by it’s carrying handle or attached rope to carrying
handle
§
Always make sure electrical connections are properly grounded, GFCI is
always recommended
§
Do not allow a partially submerged pump to freeze. The expansion of
water freezing in the volute may crack the pump. If there is danger of the
pump being subjected to freezing temperatures, lift the pump from the
water and allow it to drain thoroughly
