SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING
• Always make sure the pump is unplugged as soon as the water level reaches 1/4 in..
At water levels less than 1/4 in., the pump is attempting to pump air, which will cause the
pump to overheat and wear out. Running the pump without sufficient water will damage
the pump and void the pump's warranty.
• Do not pump flammable or explosive liquids such as oil, gasoline, kerosene, ethanol, etc. Do
not use in the presence of flammable or explosive vapors. Using this pump with or near
flammable liquids can cause an explosion or fire, resulting in property damage, serious
personal injury and/or death.
Always disconnect the pump from its power source before inspection.
•
• Do not stand in water when the pump is connected. Do not handle pump with wet hands.
• Do not touch the pump housing while it is operating, as the pump may be HOT and can cause
serious skin burns.
• Do not disassemble the motor housing. This pump has NO repairable internal parts, and
disassembling may cause an oil leak or dangerous electrical wiring issues.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION
This submersible utility pump is designed for portable applications. It can drain or remove
•
water from the following: pits, sinks, window wells, basements, swimming pool covers,
boats, low spots in yards, or other flooded areas. This pump has not been tested or
approved for use in swimming pools or in salt-water marine areas.
• This pump is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials. It will provide trouble-free
service for many years when properly installed, maintained, and used. However, inadequate
electrical power to the pump, or blockage by ice, dirt, or debris may cause the pump to fail,
potentially bringing about additional water damage. To minimize the potential for water
damage due to pump failure, please read the section of this manual.
•
This pump is not designed to function as a permanently installed sump pump. It is also not
engineered to be run continuously as a "fountain" or "waterfall" pump. Because this pump has
an oil-filled motor, it should NOT be used in water containing fish. The pump should be used
with a 5/8 in. or larger inside diameter garden hose or use with hose kit.
• For safety, the pump motor has an automatically resetting thermal protector that automatically
will turn off the pump if it becomes too hot. Overuse of this feature will damage the pump and
void the warranty.
• Once the thermal protector detects that the pump has cooled to a safe temperature, it wil
allow the pump to operate normally. If the pump is plugged in, it may restart unexpectedly.
