For safety, the pump motor has an automatic resetting thermal protector that will automatically turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and will void the warranty. Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it will allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly. DO NOT RUN THE PUMP DRY. The pump depends on water for cooling and lubrication.
• • • • • • Do not attempt to cut, splice or modify the power cord in any way. Doing so will void the warranty. Do not suspend the pump by the discharge hose, pipe or power cord. Keep the pump inlet screen clear. The water-feature the pump is being placed into must have an underlayment laid down to prevent the pump from being clogged with mud, debris etc. Be sure the pump is completely submersed to prevent the pump from overheating.
OPERATION 1. Make sure there is ample water in your application for the pump. It is recommended there should be at least 3,000-4,000 gallons in the area you are pumping so the pump does not recycle the water too quickly. 2. Make certain the water level covers the top of the pump. This pump is water-cooled, and for continuous operation, water must cover the pump to prevent the motor from overheating. 3. Plug the pump into a 115-volt GFCI power outlet. The pump will start operating. 4.
EVERY 3 MONTHS - Check Lubricant Oil The seals are bathed in 250 cc (8.5 fl. oz.) of oil that is safe for water and fish. 1. 2. 3. 4. Make sure pump is horizontal. Locate the oil port (Figure 3).
