For outdoor installations, shaded area that shelters from excessive weathering

is ideal. Do not allow pump to swelter under intense sun and avoid places with

excessive dust or debris.

The ambient operating temperature for this pump is between 5°C (41°F) and

40°C (104°F). Operation of pump in temperature outside of the recommended

temperature range may result in malfunction or severely shorten the pump life.

PIPE SIZING

Utilize air tubing or pipes that are equal or larger than the pump discharge port.

Matching pipe fittings should be used to reduce frictional losses. Incorrect pipe

sizing can cause unsatisfactory performance.

When selecting or constructing an air manifold, the number of outlet fittings and

their orifice size must be considered carefully to minimize frictional losses. Do

not block or restrict pump discharge for extended periods. Install a bleed valve

to vent any excess air volume and attach an air diffuser as silencer or muffler.

Form a drip loop with the power cord before connecting to the electrical

terminal. Drip loops can prevent water from traveling down the cord and

entering the power connection.

In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric

shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This pump is

equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding

plug. The plug must be plugged into an electrical terminal that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do

not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet

installed by a qualified electrician.

Electrical Outlet with GFCI

Connect the pump only to a terminal with Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) installed. This

device should serve to interrupt the flow of electric

current in the event of ground faults (electrical

current that unintentionally flows to ground). Check

proper operation of GFCI every month, and replace

faulty GFCI immediately.

Plug with

grounding pin

If an extension cord is required, use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-

blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the

pump. Be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the pump draws.

For lengths less than 50 feet, No. 16/3 AWG extension cord shall be used. An

undersized cord can result in a drop in line voltage, loss of power and

overheating. Replace any damaged extension cord immediately.
