GENERAL SAFETY RULES
This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
NOTE: This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-
type attachment plug.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly
grounded, grounding type receptacle.
WARNING!Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING! The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

pump, check that pump has not been damaged during transportation. If the pump is
damaged, immediately inform the dealer within 8 days from the date of purchase.
WORK AREA
• Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can
cause accidents.
• Do not use where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion;e.g. in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.Some tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating this water pump. Distractions can
cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits,water pipes and other mechanical hazards
in your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the
operator's view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or
property damage.
• Be alert of your surroundings. Using a water pump in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICALSAFETY
WARNING! Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never carry this water pump by its power cord, or yank power
cord or extension cords from the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords may cause a fire and increase the risk of electric shock.
• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you
are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.

• Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn't fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• When operating a water pump outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Extension Cord Use.
A. Use only 'Listed' extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor
Use.” Those cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be
used with grounded tools.
B. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
C. Check the name plate rating of your tool. Use of improper size or gauge of extension
cord may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool. Be sure your extension cord
is rated to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper wire gauge for your
tool, see chart.
CHART FOR MINIMUM WIRE SIZE OF EXTENSION CORD:
If in doubt, use larger cord. Be sure to check voltage requirements of the tool to your
incoming power source.
• Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from
the outlet.
• Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently
installed Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power
tool or extension cord and power receptacle.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a water
pump. Do not use a water pump while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
• Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use
as dust mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also
use non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protec-
tion when appropriate.

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging pump
into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a pump is being used, turn the
switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning
on the pump. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the water pump may
result in personal injury.
WATER PUMP USE AND CARE
• Do not force the pump. Water pumps do a better and safer job when used in the manner
for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct pump for the job.
• Never use a pump with a malfunctioning switch. Any water pump that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service
representative before using.
• Disconnect power from pump and place the switch in the locked or off position before
servicing, adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the water pump accidentally.
• Store idle pumps. When the pump is not in use, store it in a dry, secure place out of the
reach of children. Inspect pump for good working condition prior to storage and before re-
use. Protect water pump from frost.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one pump may create a risk of injury when used on
another pump.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
OPERATION
NOTE: It is necessary that you install the foot valve (included) if you are drawing
water from a source that is lower than the pump. The foot valve should be installed on
the bottom of the inlet pipe. A foot valve is a one-way valve that will only allow the
water to flow in one direction. This should prevent the need to prime the pump every
time you use it by keeping the water in the inlet pipe from draining out after the pump
is turned off. Check the pump for prime each time you use it. Running the pump dry
will damage it.
To Prevent Burn-Out of Pump
WARNING:When installing, please ensure the pump is disconnected from electrical supply.
To prevent possible injuries to people, avoid inserting hands into the mouth of the pump if this
is connected to an electrical outlet.
1. Pump is only to be used with clear (clean) water. Dirty water or sand will
damage pump. If water is dirty you must use a filter on the inlet.
2. If pump is new or has not been used for a period of time the pump shaft
must be turned several times by hand before pump is turned on.

3. Do not allow pump to run dry.
4. If flow of water to pump inlet is restricted such as when used with a control valve: Do not
run pump continuously; run at intervals (turn the pump off for 10 minutes after the pump
runs continuously for 1 hour). Do not shut down the pump over 24 hours.
5. Pump must be installed in horizontal position only (outlet facing upward).
6. Pump motor and terminal box are not waterproof. Water should not come
in contact with motor or terminal box.
7. Drain pump if temperature falls below freezing.
