DESCRIPTION
This is a submersible, epoxy-encapsulated pump with an outer
case constructed of durable thermoplastic. The case is filled with a
special heat-transfer epoxy.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make certain that the unit is disconnected from the power
source before attempting to service or remove any component.
2. Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as
gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmo-
spheres. Pump should only be used with clean water. Do not
use to pump heated liquids.
3. Do not handle pump with wet hands or when standing on a wet
or damp surface or in water.
4. This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and/or
grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric
shock, be certain that it is connected to a properly grounded
grounding type receptacle.
5. In any installation where property damage and/or personal
injury might result from an inoperative or leaking pump due to
power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason,
a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used.
6. Support pump and piping when assembling and when installed.
Failure to do so may cause piping to break, pump to fall, motor
failures, etc.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not con-
nect to voltage other than that shown.

CAREFULLY BEFORE
OPERATE, OR SERVICE
HAZARDS. PROTECT
TO COMPLY WITH THESE
2. This pump is supplied with a 3-prong electrical plug, the third
prong is to ground the pump to prevent possible electrical shock
hazard. DO NOT REMOVE the third prong from the plug. A sepa-
rate branch circuit is recommended. Do not use an extension
cord. Do not cut plug from the cord. If the plug is cut or the cord
is shortened, then this action will void the warranty.
3. The National Electric Code requires that a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying
fountain pumps and other pond equipment. See your electrical
supplies dealer for this device.
4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only on portable self-
contained fountains no larger than five feet in any dimension.
CONSULT INSTRUCTION SHEET ILLUSTRATIONS FOR PROPER
ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY OF YOUR PUMP.
OPERATION
1. The PES model pumps must be operated in clean fresh water
completely submerged. Do not let the pump run dry.
2. The pumps can be placed in any position. There are four suc-
tion cup feet provided with the pump. To install the suction
cups, wet the ends and slide them into the four slots on the
bottom of the pump housing.
3. The weight of the pumps must be supported adequately. DO
NOT support the pumps by the discharge connection alone.
4. There is one discharge adaptor provided with the pump. It is
designed to be used with 1" tubing.
5. The flow rate on the PES Series pump can be reduced by
placing a valve on the discharge side of the pump or if flexible
tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing.
6. If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the
cleaning instructions outlined in the next section. Do not let
the unit freeze in the wintertime. This may cause cracking or
distortion that may destroy the unit.
SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM
THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE OR
REMOVE ANY COMPONENT!
1. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required.
2. To disassemble the pump for cleaning, remove the screen
(Item 1) by gently squeezing at the tabs of the screen and pull-
ing from the main body. Make sure the filter media (Item 2) has
also been removed.
3. Remove the volute plate cover (Item 3) by twisting counter-
clockwise using any of the four tabs. Then pull on the volute
plate (Item 4). The shaft, impeller and the rubber mounting end
cups may also come out with the volute plate. If not, remove
the impeller, shaft and check for two rubber end cups which
should be located on each end of the shaft. One of the cups
may remain inside the pump body impeller cavity and the other
may remain inside the volute plate. If this occurs, make sure
they are still there when reassembling the pump.
4. Use a small brush or stream of water to clean any corrosion
or debris from the impeller, shaft and the impeller cavity.
NOTE: Be sure to replace the rubber end cups before reas-
sembling the rotor/shaft assembly after cleaning. If you are
unsure of the location of a part, you can view the replacement
part drawing located in this instruction manual. Reassemble the
pump in reverse order after cleaning.
