To prime the pump, fill the suction hose with
water, put it back in the water source, dry your
hands, and start the pump.
Make sure all inlet connections are tight (no air
leaks) and the inlet hose is in the water. Make
sure the end of the outlet hose is not under
water. If the outlet is under water, the pump may
not work or a siphon could be created, which
could cause cause water to flow back through
the water inlet hose.
Plug the cord into a 3-wire, 115 volt, 60 Hz,
grounded A.C. outlet.
Water should be pumping in 30 seconds or
less. If not, refill the inlet hose and repeat the
process. If your pump does not prime on the
second try, check the impeller and the inside of
the pump head for wear. Replace as needed.
The motor must have air circulation around it
for proper cooling. This pump will lift water
6’; trying to lift water more than 6’ can cause
the motor to run hot. The motor has a thermal
overload which will stop it if it gets too hot. If
the motor stops, allow it to cool for 30 minutes
before trying to start it again. Modify the hose
locations or lengths to reduce the possibility of
further thermal overload.
Unplug The Pump
Unplug the pump before all the water is
completely gone.
Do not run pump dry!
Performance
The pump will deliver 350 gallons/1325 liters
per hour with an unrestricted discharge line. If
the discharge line is restricted or raised and the
pressure on the pump outlet port increases, it
will pump less water.
NOTICE: This pump’s motor has brushes. Inspect
the brushes frequently; replace them if they
areworn.
