PRE-OPERATION NOTES The warranty will be void if the pump has not been operated and maintained in the manner prescribed in this Operator's Manual. In order for the pump to perform at its optimum capabilities, the operator of the unit must read this manual thoroughly before using this unit. This Operator's Manual contains important product operation procedures, safety precautions, maintenance and troubleshooting tips as well as other advisories. Please keep this manual nearby when operating the pump as a reference should any questions arise. This submersible pump is ONLY for use in water. DO NOT use in trashwater. Any other uses or applications is strictly prohibited. DO NOT start this unit unless it is submerged in water. DO NOT submerge this pump in any other liquid but water. All jobsites are different. Please ensure that when installing this pump in a jobsite, all local bylaws and codes are followed. 6
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATOR'S MANUAL PRIOR TO USE OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMP. 2. DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL CABLE TO CARRY, LIFT OR OTHERWISE MOVE PUMP. This will damage the cable, which can cause electrical shocks, electrical short circuit, pump failure, personal injury and other accidents. Always attach rope, chain or other lines to pump HANDLE to secure, raise, or move pump. 3. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your equipment. NEVER REPLACE THE PLUG TO AN ALTERNATIVE! 4. DO NOT plug pump into any NON-GROUNDED electrical outlet. 5. DO NOT connect the pump to any power source unless the unit is operating in water. NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY! 6. DO NOT perform any repairs or maintenance procedures on pump unless it has been disconnected from power source. 7. Drain all liquids from the pump before servicing any component. 8. DO NOT DROP PUMP. This will damage the internal components of the pump causing it to malfunction. 7
9. DO NOT continue operating the pump if ANY of the following conditions are observed: a. Excessive vibration b. Unusual odor or noise Turn pump OFF immediately if any of the above conditions appear and contact your local dealer. 10. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, and making certain that all connections are secure. 11. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform routine maintenance as required. If the pump is located in an area subject to freezing temperatures, the pump and hoses should be drained when not in operation. See "Winterizing Your Pump" section for further details. 12. Do not come into contact with the pump once it has been started. Pump may become hot under normal use. Allow sufficient time for the pump to cool off before coming into contact with the unit. 8
SETTING UP THE WP300 1. Wrap threaded sections of included nipple with Teflon tape. 2. Screw prepared nipple onto the WP300 Submersible Pump. DO NOT overtighten coupling onto the outlet as this may lead to damaging the pumps structural integrity. 3. Connect 2" discharge hose to pump. DO NOT use restricting-type valves at the discharge as this will restrict the capacity of the pump. DO NOT use hose with signs of damage or wear. 4. Verify that the discharge hose will run as straight as possible. Any excessive bending in the hose will prevent water flow. This prevents sufficient lift, and will cause the pump to run under its optimum capacity. Any crimps, loops and excessive extended sections on the hose will also create air pockets in the hose, thereby forcing the discharged liquid back into the pump. This will damage the pump and can result in electrical short, leakage and/or other hazards to the operator and jobsite. DO NOT use extension cords with this product. 9
PRE-OPERATING PROCEDURES Before attempting to operate the WP300 Submersible Pump, please perform the following procedures for the personal and property safety of the operator and jobsite. 1. Ensure that the pump is structurally and mechanically safe by checking the following: a. Does the pump start when plugged into socket? Does the pump function without excessive noise and/or unusual odour? Test as follows: a. Set up pump as instructed in "Setting up the WP300" section. b. Plug electrical cable into socket. c. Run pump for no longer than 2-3 seconds to check for noise and odour. NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY! This pump DOES NOT have an on/off switch! Clear impeller of any debris and sand before operating pump. b. Check the entire length of the electrical cable, impeller, and connector fittings are not worn, fouled or in any other conditions that would prevent the pump from safe operation. DO NOT USE IF ELECTRICAL CABLE IS FRAYED OR DAMAGED IN ANY MANNER. If any of the above checks fail, please take necessary steps to repair the unit before operating it in any environment. 10
2. Before using the pump on proposed jobsite, perform the following environmental checks: a. Check that available electrical socket conforms to local codes. b. Inspect the entire work area for unexpected buried hazards, such as rocks, pins, nails and other obstructions that can be sucked into the pump. The pump can malfunction as a result, and electrical shocks, leakage and other accidents can occur. c. Make sure that the pump is not being placed on a loose or soft platform where the unit can sink or suck up material excessively, blocking water flow to the impeller. d. Make sure that the pump will be running in water. NEVER RUN PUMP DRY. Doing so may result in damage to the pump, electrical short and/or damage to seal and will void manufacturer's warranty. e. DO NOT SUBMERGE PUMP DEEPER THAN 26' (8m) or the length of the supplied electrical cable, whichever is SHORTER. f. Ascertain that the discharge end of the discharge hose will be located above the water surface. If this end is submerged, water may backflow into the pump when power is discontinued. The end should be free from any obstructions that can prevent smooth discharge of water. g. Ensure that the temperature of the water that the pump is to work in does not exceed 110ºF, or approximately 40ºC. If any of the above checks fail, please DO NOT operate the pump. 11
OPERATION PROCEDURES 1. Place the pump assembly (pump & discharge hose) in an upright position. Always ensure that the pump will be operating in an upright position 2. Slowly lower pump into jobsite, using a rope, chain, or other implements attached to the handle. NEVER USE ELECTRICAL CABLE TO CARRY, LIFT OR OTHERWISE MOVE PUMP. This will damage the cable, which can cause electrical shocks, shortage, pump failure, personal injury and other accidents. DO NOT DROP PUMP. This will damage the pump and cause malfunctions that can lead to personal and jobsite damage. NEVER REST PUMP ON SOFT OR LOOSE BOTTOM. Using the pump on a non-solid foundation can lead to the pump sinking into mud or other substances that WILL interfere with the performance of the pump. This can lead to severe damage to the unit, which can result in electrical shock, shortages and other hazards to personal and jobsite safety. To prevent the pump from operating on a non-solid foundation, suspend pump with wire, rope or other implements attached to handle. TAKE CARE TO RESTRICT TWISTING ON WIRE, ROPE, OR IMPLEMENT USED IN SUSPENDING PUMP DURING START-UP. 12
3. Plug grounded electrical plug into a grounded socket: MAKE SURE THAT CABLE, PLUG AND SOCKET ARE ALL DRY AND CLEAN. DO NOT MIX. WATER AND ELECTRICITY DO NOT USE PUMP IF ELECTRICAL CABLE SHOWS ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SIGNS: 1. Electrical cable is frayed or shows signs of wear, such as ripped cord casing, acute bends in cord, etc, or if electrical plug is not securely connected to the cable. This can result in electrical shock or leakage. 2. Electrical cable is looped or placed on a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning arrestor, telephone wire or any other utility lines. 3. Electrical cable is overextendedvby attempting to lower pump farther than the length of the factory supplied cable or 8 m (26' feet), whichever is shorter. 4.
