Installation Instructions

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. Operating the
pump without water may cause the motor to overheat or cause damage to parts of the pump. It may also
shorten the life of your pump and void the warranty.
NOTICE
EXTENSION CORDS
Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI outlet. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient
voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a life threatening safety hazard if the insulation
becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into water.
DANGER
Keep all electrical connections away from wet and moist environments. Wet connections can cause
electrical shock resulting in personal injury.
Materials Required:
⚫ 2 in. PVC fittings, 2 in. PVC pipe or 2 in. flexible hose, thread tape, PVC primer, PVC cement,
Hose Clamps, and Ball Valve (to regulate flow)
Tools Required:
⚫ Wrench, Phillips screwdriver, Hacksaw
GENERAL INFORMATION
Use this pump in a pond with a plastic liner. The pump should rest on a solid, level
bottom. Do not set pump directly on sand, dirt or mud as this can reduce performance
and/or damage the pump.
Do not handle or carry the pump by the power cord. Use the handle.
Extended usage of the pump in a partially submerged or non-submerged situation may
cause the pump to overheat due to lack of heat dissipation from the water. If this occurs,
the pump will shut itself off until the motor cools to its normal temperature. Repeated
overheating may cause damage to the pump.
The pump is not designed for application involving salt water or brine. Use with salt
water or brine will void warranty.
