5. 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.
6. Secure the discharge hose before starting the pump. Pump torque may cause an unsecured
discharge hose to "whip," possibly causing personal injury and/or property damage.
7. Before using the pump, check the hose for holes or excess wear which could cause leaks, and be
sure the hose is not kinked or making sharp angles. A straight hose allows the pump to move the
greatest amount of water quickly.
8. Check that all hose connections are tight to minimize leaks.
9. Connect the pump DIRECTLY to a grounded, GFCI
10. Extension cords may not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor. Extension cords present a
life threatening safety hazard if the insulation becomes damaged or the connection ends fall into
water.
11. Make certain the electrical circuit to the pump is protected by a 15-amp or larger fuse or circuit
breaker.
12. Never let the pump run without water as this will damage the seal and overheat the pump.
13. This unit is a water-cooled, oil free pump. Do not let the water level in your water feature fall below
the top of the pump body.
14. Periodically inspect the pump and system components to be sure the pump inlets are free of mud,
sand, and debris. DISCONNECT THE PUMP FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE
INSPECTING.
15. Wear safety glasses at all times when working with pumps.
16. Follow all electrical and safety codes, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) and, in the
workplace, the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
17. This unit is designed only for use on 115 volts (single phase), 60 Hz, and is equipped with an
approved 3-conductor cord and 3-prong grounded plug. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUND PIN
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The 3-prong plug must be directly inserted into a properly
installed and grounded 3-prong, grounding-type receptacle. Do not use this pump with a 2-prong
wall outlet. Replace the 2-prong outlet with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (a GFCI outlet)
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances. All wiring
should be performed by a qualified electrician.
18. Protect the electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cord. Do not use damaged or worn cords.

For best performance, the maximum recommended hose length is 100 ft. The pumping capacity or
water flow rate of any pump depends on several factors. The larger the inside diameter and the shorter
the length of hose, the less pressure that is lost (or the larger the flow rate). If the hose runs uphill or
is extra long, it is recommended you use a larger diameter hose or pipe.
