Operation
After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the pump:
1. Verify that the delivery pipe is
properly connected, and is not collapsible.
2. Verify that the electrical connection
is 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
3. Verify that the electrical socket is in good condition.
4. Verify that water and moisture cannot
get near the power supply socket.
5. Verify that the pump is installed so
as to prevent running dry.
6. Remove Priming Plug (4) by turning
counterclockwise. Fill pump with clean water.
Replace Priming Plug by turning clockwise.
7. This pump operates immediately when
plugged in. Do not plug in this pump when dry.
Fill pump with water before plugging in.
8. Plug in Power Cord. Pump will operate
immediately. It will take a few minutes for pump
to prime and remove air from inlet hose. Water
will then flow through the hoses and pump.
NOTICE: Do not allow the Strainer to become
clogged. Check it periodically to be sure that
clear water can enter the inlet hose.
NOTICE: Do not allow the pump to run dry.
Running dry, the pump will overheat,
and impeller and seals will be damaged.
9. To prevent accidents, disconnect the pump’s
power supply after use. Clean, then store
the pump indoors out of children’s reach.
To Prevent Pump Damage and Allow Proper Operation:
1. Use with water or antifreeze only.
Do not use for potable water or for any other liquids.
2. Do not use continuously.
Use for a temporary function only, not in a permanent installation.
3. Do not use garden hose on inlet.
Inlet hose must be rigid pipe or a coil-reinforced, non-collapsible suction hose.

Maintenance
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Unplug the Pump from its electrical outlet before performing any
inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
1. Flush the pump out with clean water after every use.
2. Clean sludge and debris from near the inlet.
3. Rinse the housing off with clean water.
Carbon Brush Maintenance
The carbon brushes may require maintenance when
the motor performance of the pump decreases or
stops working completely. To maintain the brushes:
1. Remove the Brush Cap on each
side of the motor housing.
2. Remove the carbon brushes from the
housing. Keep track of which orientation
the old carbon brushes were in to prevent
needless wear if they will be reinstalled.
3. If either carbon brush is worn down by more
than 1/2, replace both carbon brushes.
4. To clean old carbon brushes before reusing them,
rub the contact areas with a pencil eraser.
5. Reinsert the old carbon brushes in the
same orientation to reduce wear.
6. When installing the carbon brushes,
make sure the carbon portions of the carbon
brushes contact the motor armature, and
that the springs face away from the motor.
Also, make sure the springs operate freely.
7. Replace the brush caps. Do not overtighten.
Note: New carbon brushes tend to spark when first used
until they wear and conform to the motor’s armature.
