PULL ACROSS - PUMP REMOVAL

Figure E - Pull Across pump removal (top view)

E1

   E1. Disconnect power to pump. Using the included 25 ft. 

rope, safely pull pump to edge of pool, disconnect discharge 
hose and remove.

 

 

  Never use power cord to position, carry or 

                                        retrieve the pump.

 will be pumped.

 Do 

NOT handle pump with wet       

  hands or when standing in water 

or on a damp surface when the unit is operating or fails to 

operate. ALWAYS disconnect pump power cord from 

power source before handling. Do NOT bury cord. 

Visually locate cord to prevent damage caused by lawn mowers, 

hedge trimmers and other equipment. Failure to do so WILL result 

in fatal electrical shock.

   

 

    

Do NOT alter the pump to override the automatic

  water detector. The shaft seal depends on water 

for lubrication. Overriding this pump feature CAN cause the pump to 

run dry and MAY damage the shaft seal and cause pump failure.

5.   The water level must be at least 2-1/8 inches for the pump 

to cycle, prime, and operate. Water levels less than 2-1/8 
inches will not allow the impeller to contact water therefore 
no water will be pumped.

6.   Plug the pump into a properly grounded 120 volt GFCI 

protected outlet. The pump will start automatically when the 
water reaches a depth of 2-1/8 inches. A priming delay of 2 
seconds is programmed into the control to allow time for air 
to escape from the pumping chamber. 

  Use caution when positioning the pump not to     

 damage the power cord by dragging across the 

edge of the pool.  Also take into consideration the placement of the 

discharge hose and power cord after installation.  Make sure no sharp 

edge can damage the power cord or discharge hose causing unsafe 

conditions.

7.   The pump will stop automatically once water has been 

removed to a depth of approximately 3/4 of an inch. The 
pump will NOT restart until the water depth rises to 2-1/8 
inches or greater. 

8.   The pump will NOT allow itself to run dry. Once the pump 

detects that water is no longer being removed, it will shut down 
automatically. The pump must remain upright at all times in 
order for the water detection to function. Do NOT allow the 
pump to operate on its side or inverted The shaft seal depends 
on water for lubrication, allowing the pump to remain in any 
other orientation than upright could cause shaft seal failure or 
pump failure.

 

Pump starts automatically.            

  Always disconnect electric supply 

before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any 

maintenance.

Minimal service is required for this pump. The motor housing of 

the pump is completely sealed and requires no service. If pump 

should fail to operate, perform the following troubleshooting 

guidelines:

PRIMING HOLE 

BASE SCREWS (4)

INLET SCREEN/ BASE

IMPELLER PLATE

Figure 1 - Priming Hole Location

WHEN REATTACHING THE BASE (INLET SCREEN), BE SURE THAT THE 

SIX (6) "PLUGGED" SCREENS ARE ORIENTED BELOW THE SWITCH.

5.   Periodic cleaning is required to maintain performance of the 

pump. Follow the cleaning steps listed below: 
a.  Disconnect pump from power source.
b.  Remove the strainer.
c.  Remove the four (4) base screws (Figure 1).
d.  Remove the base and impeller plate.
e.  Remove the debris and make sure the impeller turns 

freely.

f.  Reinstall impeller plate, base, screws, and strainer.

1.   Verify pumping height does NOT exceed 15 feet (See Figure 

A). If pumping height is greater than 15 feet, this pumps 
automatic feature will not operate correctly.

2.   Verify water depth is 2-1/8 inches or greater. 

3.   To verify pump is operating correctly.

a.  Disconnect pump from power source.
b.  Connect hose adapter/check valve and discharge hose 

to pump.

c.  Immerse pump in a bucket or tub of water at least 2-1/8 

inches in depth.

d.  Place the other end of the discharge hose outside the 

bucket, so the water will pump out.

e.  Plug power cord into a grounded 120 volt GFCI power 

outlet. The pump should start after 2 seconds of 
detecting water. Once the pump removes the water to a 
depth of 3/4 inch, the pump will stop automatically. 

f.  If pump does NOT operate, unplug power cord and 

proceed to maintenance – step 5.

4.   To verify discharge hose is free from a blockage.

a.  Connect hose to another water source such as a faucet. 

If water flows through hose, return to step 3a. If water is 
restricted, verify discharge hose is unwound and remove 
all kinks, bends, or obstructions in hose.

b.   If pump is still NOT operating, proceed to step 6.
