2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through
the green wire inside the cord to the grounding
system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must
be the only wire connected to the tool’s grounding
system and must never be attached to an electrically

power cord plug provided with the tool.
Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do
not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged.
If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility
before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should
look like those in the preceding illustration.
(See 3-prong plug and outlet.)
4. This pump is intended for use on a circuit that has
an outlet that looks like the one illustrated above in
125 v~ 3-prong plug and outlet. The pump has
a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
above in 125 v~ 3-prong plug and outlet.

6. Do not use extension cords with this pump.
1. Tools marked with “Grounding Required” have a three
wire cord and three prong grounding plug. The plug
must be connected to a properly grounded outlet.
If the tool should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance path to
carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk
of electric shock. (See 3-prong plug and outlet.)
7. Do not use an adapter to connect
this pump to a different outlet.

pipe connection
The Pump uses 1" NPT piping (sold separately).
Purchase the necessary length of pipe, including any
needed fittings and bends. Mount the Pump as close to
the source of water as possible and within the range of
the rated Suction Lift. The connections must be airtight.
Wrap all threaded connections with PTFE tape (sold
separately).
1. Remove the Inlet and Outlet Covers from the Pump.
2. Attach the water source to the Inlet, using appropriate
methods. The Inlet hose or pipe must be collapse-
proof to properly withstand the suction force.
3. Install a foot valve (sold separately)
at the bottom of the inlet.

4. Attach the outlet connection to the Outlet. A
Y-fitting with dual valves (sold separately) is
helpful for priming the pump (see next section).

operation
to pRevent electRic Shock and death:
make sure that the motor cover is properly closed and sealed before priming or operation.
note:
A foot valve on the inlet connection is critical to help prevent the pump from losing prime.
note: Check that the water source and piping are clear of sand, dirt and debris.
2. Close the valve on the outlet side of the Y-fitting, and
open the valve on the priming side of the Y-fitting.
3. Remove the Priming Plug and wait until water
starts coming out of the Priming Plug. Replace
the Priming Plug and tighten securely.

5. If you operate the Pump and no water comes
out, shut the Pump off IMMEDIATELY. Check the
pipes for air-tightness. Check also that the bottom
of the Inlet pipe is underneath the surface of the
water and a foot valve is properly installed.

1. Connect a bucket full of at least 3 gallons of water
to one side of the Y-fitting using a hose, as shown
above. (If available, a continuous water supply,
such as a spigot, may be used instead.) The bucket
must be positioned higher than the pump’s outlet.
6. After the pump is running properly, the priming
hose and bucket can be disconnected.
Storage
1. If you will not be using the Pump for an
extended period of time, drain the Pump
Housing. First disconnect both the suction
and outlet lines, then tip the pump so that all
the water is drained from the pump cavity.
2. If the Pump sits idle for a period of 5 days
or more, it should be unplugged and rotated
with a screwdriver through the middle hole of
the fan cover through several revolutions to
prevent it from taking a permanent set.
3. If you use the Pump only occasionally, when
you are done pumping, replace the Inlet
and Outlet Covers to protect the unit.
