SAFETY INFORMATION Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. If you have any questions regarding the product, please call customer service at 1-800-346-7611, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m., EST, Monday - Friday. WARNING Always make sure the pump is unplugged as soon as the water level reaches 1/2 in. At water levels less than 1/2 in., the pump is attempting to pump air, which will cause the pump to overheat and wear out.
Additional Safety Precautions 1. Know the pump applications, limitations, and potential hazards. 2. Make certain the electrical power source is adequate for the requirements of the pump. 3. ALWAYS disconnect the power to the pump and drain all water from the system before servicing. 4. Secure the pump on a solid base to keep the pump vertical and above mud and sand during operation to maximize pumping efficiency and prevent clogging and premature pump failure. 5.
Hose Size INSIDE DIAMETER 3/4 in. 5/8 in. 25 ft. Hose Length 50 ft. Hose Length (RECOMMENDED LENGTHS) 18.7 GPM 11.6 GPM 75 ft. Hose Length 100 ft. Hose Length (LENGTHS NOT RECOMMENDED) 12.9 GPM 8.0 GPM 10.4 GPM 6.4 GPM 8.9 GPM 5.5 GPM The larger the inside diameter and the shorter the length of hose, the less pressure that is lost (or the larger the flow rate). The maximum pressure produced by this pump is about 11 PSI.
2. If you would prefer to use a larger hose in order to pump water away more quickly, attach the included adaptor (B) to pump (A), and then securely attach the Hose Kit (Item #0313726, sold separately) to the adaptor (B). B A B WARNING: Secure the discharge hose before plugging in the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured discharge hose to “whip”, possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage. A OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS NOTICE: Make certain you unwind the garden hose completely.
AIRLOCK This pump (A) is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove water. However, it cannot move air. If air is trapped inside the pump (A) (a condition called “airlock”), the pump cannot pump water out even though the pump (A) is completely submerged. This pump (A) has an airlock release feature (see Fig. 1). Air flows out through the airlock release feature, eliminating the airlock so that the pump can operate properly.
