Operation
1
Plugging in the pump
WARNING: Do not handle the pump or pump motor with
wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface, or in
water.
NOTE: Place upright on a solid base.
NOTE: The pump must be standing in at least
1 in. (25.4mm) of water before you start it. The shaft seal is
water lubricated and may be damaged if the pump runs dry.
Place the pump on a solid base in flooded area or any place that
you would like to remove water. Plug the pump into a 115 volt
GFCI power outlet.
Airlock
This pump is a centrifugal utility pump, designed to efficiently remove water. However, it cannot move air. If air is trapped inside the pump
(a condition called "airlock"), the pump cannot pump water out even though the pump is completely submerged. This unit does not have an
anti-airlock hole. When you use the pump, please drain the water out of the garden hose, keep the end of the hose out of the water, and
plug in the power cord, starting the pump.

Operating the pump
CAUTION: Do not run the pump dry. Operating the pump
without water will cause damage to the seals and will
cause the pump to fail, thereby voiding the pump's
warranty.
NOTE: After starting, the pump will lower the water level
to 1/8 in. (3.2mm) before losing suction. It will not pick up
water less than 1/8 in. (3.2mm) deep when running and will
not operate successfully if started in only
1/8 in. (3.2mm) of water.
Allow the pump to run and monitor its progress.
Unplug the pump when it has removed water down to
approximately 1/8 in. (3.2mm).
Remove the pump and hose from the location when finished
pumping. The hose still has water that can drain back through
the pump. Remove remaining water with a squeegee, mop,
sponge, towel, wet/dry vac, etc.
