Submersible Pump

Installation

The submersible pump must be installed with either: a. A fixed pipeline or b. A flexible hose pipe.

Please note!

1. Do not install the pump by suspending it unsupported from its delivery pipe or power cord.

The pump must be suspended from the handle or be placed on the bottom of the area.

2. Make sure the Pump rests on flat, level and solid foundation. Do not operate it on earth, clay, sand or gravel surfaces.

3. Make sure the Pump’s inlet openings near the Base are free of debris.

4. Avoid installing Pump in areas of extreme heat or cold.

Power Supply

1. The pump is equipped with a shock-proof plug according to regulations. The pump is designed to be connected to 110-120 V~, 60 Hz safety socket.

2. Make sure that the socket is sufficiently secured and is in excellent condition.

3. When the plug is inserted into the socket the pump will start operating.

WARNING! If the power cord or plug is damaged, do not use the pump. The power cord or plug may only be repaired by a certified electrician.

Hose Connections

1. Connect a hose to the pump outlet using a step nipple and hose clamps (not included).

If the outlet hose is narrower than the pump outlet, output will be reduced.

2. Route the hose to the desired discharge area.

The hose should be kept as short as possible with a minimum number of turns. For best performance, the max. recommended hose length is 50 ft.

3. To reduce vibration and noise, a short section of rubber hose maybe be attached to the end of the discharge line with clamps.

Areas of use

This pump can be used to transfer water

(e.g. household, farming, plumbing).

Operation

1. After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the pump: a. Verify that the pump rests on the floor of the shaft, if it is not suspended by the handle.

b. Verify that the delivery pipe is properly connected.

c. Verify that the electrical connection is 110-120 V~, 60 Hz.

d. Verify that the electrical socket is in good condition.

e. Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the power supply socket or power cord connection.

2. Snap the cord for the Float Switch into the cable Clip on the side of the handle. Once the cord is snapped into place, adjust the level that the Pump turns on by adjusting the length of the Float Switch’s cord.

3. The Float Switch will automatically turn off the Pump when the level of water drops below the Switch.

4. Verify that the pump is installed so as to prevent running dry.

NOTE: The float must be allowed to move freely and must shut off the Pump before it runs dry.

5. CAUTION: Do not run the Pump dry. Doing so will increase wear on the unit and lead to

Seal damage. Water must be deeper than the minimum water level (shown on specifications chart) for the Pump to operate properly.

6. NOTE: The Pump has a built-in thermal protector for the motor, which automatically shuts it off to avoid overheating. After it cools, it will cycle back on.

Wait for the cycle to continue-do not try to manually turn on Pump after it has cut off.

7. Plug power cord into an outlet fitted with a GFCI.

8. Verify that the discharge water travels several feet from the foundation.

9. NOTE: It is normal for air bubbles from trapped air to appear around the handle or pressure Switch.

The pump is equipped with a de-aerating device with removes air locked in the Pump. Also, if the water level drops below the vent valve, some water might purge from Pump via the vent valve.

Maintenance

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Unplug the Pump from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

If the pump is moved during operation, flush it out with clean water after every use.

Quarterly Maintenance

The below maintenance must be performed at least once every 3 months under optimal conditions.

For frequent use, or dirty areas, more frequent maintenance is required.

3. Clean fibers from inside the pump housing with a clean cloth, then store Pump in a dry and clean location away from children.

4. If the pump housing cannot be cleaned from the outside, it must be thoroughly cleaned.

Unplug the power cord before maintenance.

Dismantle the bottom part of the pump as follows: a. Remove Screws and Base.

b. Rinse the impeller with clean water.

c. To prevent damage, do not rest the pump on the impeller or pry against the impeller.

d. Reassemble in reverse order.
