INSTALLATION

Physical Installation

1. Adjust the flow by turning the flow control mechanism located on the front of the pump.
2. Place the pump in the water and ensure it is completely submerged.
• To use the provided suction cup feet, wet the cups' ends and slide them into the slots at the bot-
tom of the pump housing.
• Ensure that the pump's weight is adequately supported and NOT resting on the discharge con-
nection.
3. Fine tune to the desired flow rate by turning the flow control mechanism.

Electrical Connections

Connect the power cord to a constant source of power matching the pump nameplate voltage.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit. Do not connect to a fan or any device that runs intermittently.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity.
• Connect to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) if required by code.
IMPORTANT: If the power cord is damaged, the whole unit must be replaced.
MAINTENANCE

Periodic Maintenance

1. Disconnect pump from power
and remove from water source.
2. Remove the front plate by gently
squeezing its sides and pulling it
from the main body of the pump.
3. Turn the volute plate 1/8-turn
counter-clockwise and remove it
from the pump body.
• If necessary, gently use pliers.
4. If the shaft assembly did not come out with the volute plate, carefully remove it.
5. Remove the rubber end cups from both ends of the shaft.
• One may still remain in the volute plate.
6. Clean any corrosion or debris from the impeller, shaft, and impeller cavity.
7. Reassemble the parts in the reverse order, beginning with the rubber end cups.
