Installation
• Never install a shutoff valve in the suction or discharge of this pump. This will cause excessive
friction loss and will damage the pump and void the warranty.
• All connections must be air tight. A single leak will prevent proper operation of the pump and may
cause the pump to run dry. If the pump runs dry, this will void the warranty.
• An extension cord is not recommended for use with this product. If an extension cord is required,
only use a UL certified cord that is 18 gauge wire and less than 50 ft long.
1. Install the pump on a rigid, level platform above the water level. This platform must provide a solid,
level surface that is capable of supporting the weight of the pump, and attached piping filled with
water. Never allow the pump to become immersed in water.
a. The inlet and discharge lines should not be wedged or stressed in a way that puts strain on
the pump.
2. The level of the intake port should not be more than 12-15 feet above the water. Pumping
efficiency reduces as the height above the water level increases.
