PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST - ALL INSTALLATIONS
Whenever this le is changed, Tim Moss must be informed. We print copies to be sent
to vendor (Zco Taiwan) for insertion into product. New copies will need to be printed for
production. Also, F & W will need to be notied of changes because they also print this
document (with changes) for their product.
SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Makesurethatthepumpispluggedintoaproperlygroundedelectrical
receptacle.Use an UnderwritersLaboratory listed circuitanalyzer to
test for proper installation of the circuit and ground. Any service to
circuits or receptacles should be conducted by a qualified licensed
electrician.
2. Do not remove the ground pin from the plug under any circum-
stances. If the ground pin is damaged, replace the power cord
or plug before use.
3. All electrical installations must conform to the requirements of
the National Electrical Code and all local codes.
4. It is strongly recommended that the unit be plugged into a
G.F.C.I. protected circuit.
5. Disconnect power before servicing the pump or motor.
6. Do not touch the motor when operating and allow
the motor to cool before touching it afterwards.
7. This pump is designed for water without solids only. It has not
been evaluated for pumping of chemicals.
8. Do not use this product to pump flammable or
explosive liquids.
9. Do not use this product in hazardous environments
or anywhere a spark could potentially ignite explosive
gases.
10. Do not handle this product with wet hands or while standing in
water or on a wet or damp surface.
11. The model 311 is supplied with an automatically resetting thermal
overload device and can restart without warning.
12. Do not submerge the pump or motor in water.
13. Secure the discharge line before starting the pump.An unsecured
hose can whip, possibly causing personal injury or property
damage.
14. Provide a means of pressure relief if the pump discharge
can be shut off or obstructed. Pumps operating against
a closed discharge can create very hot pumped liquid,
which can cause burns.
15. Do not operate this product while unattended. Do not run dry.
16. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated
for use in swimming pool areas.
CAUTION
SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF CAUTIONS
1. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements
of the equipment as stated on the product nameplates.
2. Check hoses for weak or worn conditions before use and make
certain that all connections are secure.
3. Periodically inspect the pump for damage and perform routine
maintenance as required.
4. The maximum temperature of the pumped liquid must not exceed
130 deg. F. The minimum allowable temperature is 40 deg. F.
5. Use a screen or strainer on the inlet to prevent solids from
entering the pump.
6. Pumps with the UL mark are certified by UL and tested to UL
standard UL778. Pumps with the CSA mark are certified by
CSA to CSA standard C22.2 No.108. Pumps with the cCSAus
mark are certified by CSA to CSA standard C22.2 No.108 and
UL standard UL778.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS- Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the
pump. Make sure you are not standing in water and are wearing insulated protective sole shoes. Under ooded conditions, contact your
local electric company or a qualied licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
CONDITION COMMON CAUSES
A. Pump will not prime or retain prime after operating. Suction lift too high, hose kinked or hose tting not tight on head, air leak in
suction line, defective cam or impeller or gasket leaking.
B. Pump runs but no uid. Faulty suction piping, defective cam or impeller, suction lift too high, discharge
head too great, clogged inlet, pump too far from liquid.
C. Motor runs too hot.
Voltage incorrect, excessive discharge pressure, impeller swollen, liquid, too
viscous, plugged or kinked discharge, insufcient air ow on motor, liquid
too hot.
D. Flow rate is low. Piping or hose is fouled or damaged, clogged impeller, worn impeller, voltage
incorrect, hoses too long.
E. Pump will not run. Inspect power source, impeller jammed, motor overheated.

This utility pump is designed for general commercial and industrial
applications. Unit is designed for water, but is not submersible. For use
transferring liquids, emptying or lling tanks, sinks or bowls. Self-priming
to 7 ft. if the impeller is initially wet (primed). Intermittent duty. NOTE: Unit
DESCRIPTION
is NOT RECOMMENDED for use with soap detergents, gasoline, fuel oil,
ammable, explosive or combustible liquids or other uids not compatible
with pump component materials. Do not use unit in enclosed areas.
INSTALLATION
SK2206
1. Pump should be placed as close to source of liquid and power as
possible, not more than 7 feet above liquid source if self-priming,
and not more than 25 feet from power source.
2. Use reinforced plastic or fabric tubing or metal pipe for the suction
side of the pump. This will prevent collapse of the suction piping.
Discharge piping should never be larger than suction piping!
3. Attach suction line piping to the suction inlet and discharge line piping
to the discharge outlet.
4. Avoid using looped sections of pipe which might permit air to become
entrapped.
5. Piping should be checked for any leaks at the connections. Small
leaks in suction line greatly reduce efciency of pump, and may
prevent priming. (Never operate a pump unless it is secured to a
solid foundation.)
6. Do not operate pump dry. Impeller and seal damage will result.
7. Protect pump from extreme heat, cold, and humidity. This unit is not
waterproof and is not intended to be used in showers, saunas, or
other potentially wet locations. The motor is designed to be used in
a clean, dry location with access to an adequate supply of cooling
air. Ambient temperature around the motor should not exceed 104°F
(40°C). This unit is not weatherproof, nor is it able to be submersed
in water or any other liquid.
8. Install a foot valve and prime pump when suction lift is over six feet
or when suction line is longer than six feet.
9. Itisstrongly recommended that the Model311ispluggedintoa G.F.C.I.
(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Consult your local electrician for
installation and availability.
OPERATION
1. Model 311 is self-priming and should prime itself within 30 seconds
after pump is started. Wetting impeller with pumped uid and keeping
the impeller coated with petroleum jelly will lengthen its life and
improve priming action. Running the impeller dry for as short as 30
seconds can ruin the impeller (Ref. No. 5). Keep suction line as short
as possible.
NOTE: An easy way to prime the pump (wet impeller), if using a garden
hose, is to ll the discharge hose; elevate the discharge hose slightly to
retain water and start the pump. Another method would be to disconnect
the discharge hose from the pump, making a U-bend of the discharge
hose, ll the hose and then reconnect to the pump (without losing the
water). In both cases, the water behind the impeller will seal the pump
and it will prime almost immediately.
2. Be sure hose attachments or piping connections are tight. Any
leakage in suction side will prevent pump from priming.
MAINTENANCE
1. Always drain pump when not in use.
2. If pump is not going to be used for a month or longer, ush with fresh
water and remove body cover, take impeller out, clean inside body
and apply generous coating of petroleum jelly to both inside body and
impeller before replacing impeller in body.
3. Pump should be checked daily, weekly, monthly, etc. for proper
operation. If anything has changed since unit was new, unit should
be removed and repaired or replaced. Only qualied electricians or
servicemen should attempt to repair the motor of this unit. Improper
repair and/or assembly can cause an electrical shock hazard.
HOW TO REPLACE IMPELLER
Replace impeller when it has been worn or damaged by foreign objects,
pumping improper liquid or dry running.
1. Remove four screws at “A” (see gure above).
2. Remove cover plate.
3. Using your ngers, remove damaged or worn impeller.
4. Clean the inside of the pump head and remove any foreign materials
which will obstruct the impeller’s operation.
5. Apply petroleum jelly or similar lubricant to both the inside of pump
head and to the outside diameter of the impeller.
6. Align the at on the inside of the new impeller with the at on the motor
shaft. Push into place while twisting blades in a clockwise direction.
7. Place new gasket on pump body face, align holes and replace cover.
8. Tighten all four screws evenly and snugly.
9. Replacementimpeller/gasket kits areavailableas part number015391.
