ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! When using mains-powered equipment, basic safety precautions, including the following,
should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury and material damage.
Read and understand the manual prior to operating this pump.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this pump for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Yardworks pumps are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This pump is earthed in accordance with AS/NZS 60335-2-41.
Note: The power outlet used for the water pump is recommended to be protected by a 30mA residual current device
or earth leakage circuit breaker.
If the power outlet is external, ensure that it is weather proof. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
an electrician or a power tool repairer to avoid a hazard.
The water pump has a built-in thermal protection overload switch. The water pump stops if an overload occurs. The

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate pumps in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Pumps create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a pump. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Pump plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) pumps. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the pump. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
d) When operating a pump outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a pump. Do not use a
pump while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating pumps may result in serious personal injury.
b) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying pumps
with your finger on the switch or plugging in pumps that have the switch on invites accidents.
c) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the pump on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the pump may result in personal injury.
d) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
4) PUMP USE AND CARE
a) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing pumps. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the pump accidentally.
b) Maintain pumps. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the pumps operation. If damaged, have the pump repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained pumps.
c) Use the pump, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of pump, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the pump for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your pump serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the pump is maintained.
b) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

SET-UP & INSTALLATION
Suction Inlet
Connecting Hose or Pipe to the Suction Inlet
1 Remove the plastic protection cover from the suction inlet (5) (Fig. 1).
Note: It is recommended that you use a preliminary filter and suction set with
suction hose, suction strainer and non-return valve, in order to prevent long
priming periods and unnecessary damage to the pump as a result of stones and
solid foreign materials entering.
Note: If the suction inlet is higher that the water level a non return valve should be fitted to the suction line.
Note: Teflon tape (not included) is required on threads to ensure a water tight seal and prevent any leakage.
2. Insert a 25.4mm (1’’) male threaded hose adaptor (not included) into the
suction inlet (5) (Fig. 2).
3. Securely attach the input hose or pipe to the other end of the 25.4mm (1’’)
male threaded hose adaptor (not included) (Fig. 3). Ensure you have the correct
diameter hose or pipe that is compatible with your water drawing source.
Note: The input hose or pipe you are using must have a minimum diameter of
25.4mm (1’’).
Note: Ensure the input hose or pipe is not restricted in any way and no pressure is obstructing the input hose or
pipe when the pump is in operation.

SET-UP & INSTALLATION (cont.)
Positioning the Hose or Pipe
Position the input hose or pipe so that it rises from the water drawing source to the pump. Avoid positioning the
input hose or pipe higher than the pump, as this would delay the escape of air bubbles from the input hose or pipe
and impede the priming process (see section ‘starting the pump’ for description on priming the pump) (Fig. 4-5).
