DESCRIPTION
This portable utility pump is designed to be used as a transfer pump for
such applications as emptying water heaters, swimming pools, livestock
tanks, boats, etc. Pump can also be used for an intermittent pressure
booster for applications such as washing cars, cleaning driveways, etc.
The motor is air cooled. It is
NOT designed to operate under water.
INSTALLATION
Always disconnect power source before
attempting to install, service or maintain the pump. Never handle a pump
with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in water.
Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is recommended.
Risk of electrical shock. This pump is supplied
with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. A grounded
receptacle in conformance with current NEC and local codes must be used
(See Figure 1).
2. This pump operates on 115V, 60Hz AC, single phase.
Risk of fatal electrical shock. Never cut
off the round grounding prong. Cutting the cord or plug will void the
warranty and make the pump inoperable.
3. Figure 2 shows a typical installation. Threaded adapters are furnished
for attaching garden hose where conditions permit its use. In no case
should the pump be more than 15 feet above or away from inlet source.
Use of foot valve on inlet line is recommended.
Make sure the inlet hose is NOT coiled or kinked
above or below water level.

4. The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe, or non-collapsible
hose. Small leaks in inlet line greatly reduce efficiency of pump and
may prevent priming.
Regular garden hose will collapse under suction
conditions and should not be used in the inlet, except for pressure
boosting situations.
5. Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond, or source where
foreign objects may be sucked into the pump. The strainer should
prevent solids from entering the inlet line.
6. A regular 3/4” garden hose may be used as a discharge line. Keep the
total length as short as possible to prevent excessive friction loss.
OPERATION
Pump must be filled with water before operation.
Running the pump dry or pumping any sand or other abrasives will cause
damage to the shaft seal or impeller and void the warranty.
1. Product is portable, and not intended to be
permanently installed outdoors. If installed outdoors, care should be
taken to protect the unit from rain and other elements of the weather.
This unit is not waterproof or weatherproof 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
adequate cooling air. Ambient temperature around the motor should
not exceed 104
°
F (40
°
C).
2. Remove priming plug and fill with water. Reinstall plug.
To help with the priming of the pump, a foot valve
can be installed on the inlet line. The use of a foot valve is strongly
recommended to be installed on inlet lines lifting over five feet.
3. Plug power cord into GFCI protected electrical outlet. The pump will
prime in a few minutes, depending on inlet line length.
To avoid internal pump damage, if after five minutes
the pump has not begun pumping water, turn off the pump, remove
priming plug, re-fill pump with water, reinstall priming plug and plug
pump back in.
4. In the case of pressure boosting, turn water on before starting pump.
This force primes the pump. Then, plug power cord into GFCI protected
electrical outlet.
5. Unplug cord to turn unit off.
MAINTENANCE
Let pump cool for at least 20 minutes before
attempting to service. Motor may be extremely hot. Personal injury may
result.
1. Pump should be checked periodically for proper operation.
Always disconnect the electrical supply before
attempting to install, service, or perform any maintenance. If the power
source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (off) position to prevent
unexpected power applications. Disconnect electrical cord from power
supply. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock. Only
qualified electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair could result
in fatal electrical shock.
