ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING
PUMP OPERATION WARNING
1. Check your pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown. The
pump can be connected to any shock proof plug (ground fault interrupter circuit) which has been installed
according to electrical code. The plug must have a supply voltage of 110V-60 Hz and a circuit of a minimum of
6 amps.
2. When the pump is to be used near swimming pools or garden ponds and in their area the power supply
must be equipped with a ground –fault interrupter circuit with a nominal trip current of a maximum of .30mA.
The pump must not be operated while people are in the swimming pool or in the garden pond. Consult your
electrician.
3. Your pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third prong is to ground the pump to prevent
possible shock hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third prong. A separate branch circuit is recommended. DO NOT
use an extension cord. Do not cut the plug from the cord. If the plug is cut or the cord shortened, then this
action will void the warranty.
4. The electrical connection must be protected from moisture.
MAKE SURE THE PUMP IS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING
TO SERVICE OR CLEAN THE PUMP!
1. The motor housing of your pump is completely sealed and requires no service. Disassembly of the motor
housing or alteration of the power cord voids all warranty.
2. Your pumps should be cleaned out with fresh, clean water after every use.
1. Your pump cannot be operated in water with a temperature in excess of
122 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Place pump in water at least 3/4 inch deep to begin pumping. Pump should be totally submerged for proper
cooling of the motor when the pump is operated for extended periods.
3. If you purchased a pump that is equipped with an adjustable “go ow” high water sensor, the pump will
automatically turn on once the internal sensor detect water at the level you have selected. The pump will auto-
matically turn o once the water level has gone below the selected height of the “no ow” setting you have
selected. Always select a higher level for “go ow” setting than the “no ow” setting. This will help prevent the
pump from running dry and voiding the warranty. Never set the “go Flow” and “no ow” at the same level, this
will cause the pump to run dry and void the warranty.
4. If your pump is not equipped with the smart ow sensor it must be turned on and o manually. Care must
be taken to not let the pump run dry. (without uid) The pump is designed to be cooled by pumping uid. Seal
damage, bearing damage and motor failure can result if the pump is allowed to run dry.
5. When rst starting your pump you should run water into the pump until the pump starts. Allow the pump to
operate through several on/o cycles.
6. If the pump is going to be idle for period of time, follow the cleaning instructions outlined in this manual. Do
not let the pump freeze in winter time. This may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the pump and
void the warranty.
7. For best performance use the supplied collapsible hose, attach to appropriate sized tting and secure with
clamp. Make sure that hose is fully extended so that water can ow freely.
