FIG. 1
To comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and to reduce
the risk of electric shock, connect the pump only to an outlet
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
Check the power cord regularly to ensure that it is in good
condition, with no nicks or cuts.
Do not lift the pump by its power cord.
Do not let the pump freeze during colder temperatures. This can
cause cracking or distortion that will damage the pump. See the
MAINTENANCE section for storage instructions.
Do not operate the pump dry. This will cause the pump to
become extremely hot, causing burns if touched and/or damage
to the pump.
Do not use to pump water hotter than 95°F (35°C).
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure that the installation conforms with all local and
state electric codes.
NOTE: The pump has thermal overload protection. If it
becomes overheated it will shut off. See the Troubleshooting
section to restart.
In-Water (Submersible) Installation
Refer to Figure 1, Figure 2, and the following steps to configure
the pump for in-water (submersible) use:
1. Locate the electical connection box in a dry area at least 6-1/2
feet (2 meters) from the edge of the water.
2. Place the pump into the water on a flat surface, ensuring that
the pump is completely submersed and that the volute is filled
with water.
CAUTION: If the surface is dirt or sand, place the pump on a
flat object such as a brick or stone to prevent clogging. For
best results, place the pump into a skimmer.
CAUTION: Ensure that the water level does not go below
(25cm) 10 in. when pump is placed directly in pond.
3. Make all necessary intake and discharge connections.
4. Connect the pump to power.
5. Observe that the pump operates properly. Ensure that the
pump will not run dry; without a continuous supply of water
damage will result and void the warranty.
6. If reduced flow is required, restrict the discharge. Never restrict
the intake.
