INLINE APPLICATIONS:
This pump is designed to operate in a system without being submerged in water.
CAUTION: This pump is not self-priming, which requires it to be filled with water and slightly
lower than the water level in a reservoir, tank, pond or aquarium. If plug drops into water, power
supply should be turned off to avoid electric shock. Pump can be used indoors or outdoors.
Supply cord cannot be changed or replaced. It cannot be bent or used to carry the pump.
If cord is damaged, do not use pump.
Basic Setup:
1. Make sure your pump is sized correctly for the volume of water to be moved and that it can
safely and effectively operate in your system.
