IF THE PUMP FAILS TO OPERATE, CHECK THE FOLLOWING:

Confirm that the circuit breaker is on and try another outlet to ensure the
pump is getting electrical power.

Check the pump discharge and tubing for kinks and obstructions.

Ensure the inlet is not clogged with debris.

Disconnect pump from power source. Remove the pump inlet to access
the impeller area. Turn the rotor to ensure it is not broken or jammed. Clean
or replace.
Remember: Monthly maintenance will add to your pump’s life.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Always disconnect from
electrical outlet before handling
the pump.
To clean the pump, remove the
front cover, Impeller Cover and
the Impeller.
Use a soft brush, soft cloth or
stream of water to remove any
debris.
If scale has built up on Impeller
or in the impeller chamber, soak
in a solution of 1 part white
vinegar to 9 parts water for a few
hours to soften scale, then use
soft brush.
For easier reassembly, moisten
O-Ring on Impeller Cover with
water before reattaching
Impeller Cover to Motor Housing.

CAUTION
 Always disconnect from electrical outlet before handling the pump.
 Don’t operate without water.
 Do not lift the pump by the power cord.
 Operate in clean water only.
 Operate pump completely submerged for optimum cooling.
 Not for use in swimming pools or swimming ponds.
This pump is only to be used in an outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or residual
current device (RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30 mA.
NOTE: Ensure that the electrical cord loops below the electrical outlet to form a “Drip Loop” This will
prevent water from running down the cord into the electrical outlet.
PERFORMANCE
A clogged or dirty intake screen will greatly reduce
performance.
If the pump is used where debris has settled, raise it
slightly to reduce the amount of debris contacting
the intake. If slower flow is desired, adjust the flow
control lever on the side of the pump or restrict the
discharge flow.
Do not run the pump out of the water. Doing so may
damage the pump. Always submerge the pump in
the water before plugging in the electrical outlet. It is
common for air to be in the pump and tube when
first plugged in. Continue to unplug the electrical cord
and then plug it back in until water begins to flow.

WARNING
 Ensure that the electrical cord is looped below the electrical outlet to
form a “Drip Loop”. This will prevent water from running down the cord
into the electrical outlet.
 Risk of electric shock- This pump is supplied with grounding
conductor and grounding-type attachment plug. To reduce the risk
of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to properly grounded
grounding-type receptacle.
 Do not remove the grounding pin from the plug.
 Do not connect to any voltage other than that shown on the pump.
 Do not pump flammable liquids.
 The National Electric Code requires that a Ground Fault Circuit
interrupter (GFCI) be used in the branch circuit supplying fountain
pumps and other pond equipment. See your electrical supplies
dealer for this device.
 The pump is to be supplied through a Residual Current Device
(RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
 To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only on portable self -
contained fountains.
 Do not use with water above 95°F (35°C)
CAUTION - This pump has been evaluated for use with water only.
