Unpacking

the end of this manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools
at the number on the cover of this manual.
Operation
1. Connect drain hose to the Output Tie-in (30) discharge fitting.
This hose should be long enough to drain away from the reservoir being pumped. See
installation examples on the next page.
2. If the pump needs to be lowered into a pool or other deep reservoir, attach a rope to
the pump handle and lower into position. Never suspend the pump from the power
cord or discharge pipe.
The pump should rest on a flat, level, and solid foundation. Never operate on earth,
clay, sand, or gravel surfaces. Keep the pump inlet opening clear of debris. If the drain
piping runs in excess of 10 feet, it is recommended to use a check valve (not
included) to prevent back flow. To avoid air locks in the pump, drill an 1/8 inch hole in
the piping, between the check valve and the pump. Refer to the top-right illustration on
the next page.
Warning: Never use the line cord to carry the pump. Do not run the pump dry. It will
increase wear to the unit and cause possible seal damage.
3. Connect the Power Cable to the Ground Fault Interrupter receptacle to begin
pumping.
Caution: The Float Switch must be floating in water for the pump to operate. It is meant
to shut off intermittently. Do not attempt to manipulate the switch to keep the pump
running continuously. Doing so will damage the pump.
Warning: Never allow the power cord or extension cord connection (if used) to come in
contact with ground water.
