This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol, look for one of the following signal words.
Important
Read these warnings carefully. Know the application and limitations of this pump. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage.
DANGER: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
NOTICE: Indicates to address practices not related to personal injury.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Disconnect and lockout power supply before removing existing pump or installing or servicing this pump.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: This pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding type attachment plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly grounded GFCI receptacle.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Connect only to a receptacle that is adequately rated for the voltage and amperage of this pump.
WARNING: The installation of this pump must be in accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC), International Plumbing Code (IPC) as well as all applicable local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: Do not install this pump in any location classified as hazardous by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA70.
DANGER: Do not use this pump to pump corrosive, flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, kerosene, etc. Do not use this pump in flammable or explosive environments. The pump has been investigated for use with water only.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: This pump has not been investigated for use in swimming pool or marine areas.
WARNING RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Do not use the power cord to handle, carry, or lower the pump. The cord may pull apart exposing bare wires which could cause a fire or electrical shock. Use the handle supplied with the pump for installing and removing.
WARNING: Do not expose the pump to freezing temperatures. Discharge lines exposed to freezing temperatures should be positioned with a downward slope to prevent freezing.
WARNING: All wiring and electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING: Make certain that the electrical outlet is within the reach of the power supply cord. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD.
WARNING: Do not run the pump dry. This pump relies on water for lubrication and cooling. Running the pump dry can cause the pump to overheat and risks the possibility of burns to anyone that handles the pump. Running the pump dry will void the warranty.
WARNING: Do not use this pump for potable/drinking water. Use only in applications for which the pump is designed.
WARNING: According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
WARNING: This pump is not intended to pump water softener discharge (brine) or condensate high efficiency appliances. These liquids are corrosive and could cause  amage to the pump and will void the warranty.
CAUTION: If a flexible discharge hose is used, make sure the pump is secured to prevent movement.
WARNING: Keep hands clear of suction and discharge openings. To prevent injury, never insert fingers into pump while it is plugged in.
WARNING: Do not handle this pump with wet hands or while standing on wet or damp surfaces or in water.
CAUTION: This pump motor is equipped with an automatic resetting thermal protector and may restart unexpectedly.
NOTICE: This pump is not designed as a waterfall, pond or fountain pump. Use of this pump for waterfalls, ponds or fountains will void the warranty.

Description

Installation

WARNING: Always disconnect the power source before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance onthe pump. Failure to do so may result in fatal electrical shock.
Always disconnect the power source before servicing pump.
NOTICE: Your pump is designed and built to give you reliable performance and long life. It will pump water for years when properly installed in the right environment.
NOTICE: A qualified electrician must perform all wiring.

Assembly DXWP61374 and DXWP61774

1. Garden Hose: Thread the 3/4 in. (19.05mm) garden hose adapter into the pump discharge. Attach a garden hose (sold separately) to the garden hose adapter.
   Extend the hose, making sure there are no kinks or tight bends.
   NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 1/2 in. (12.7mm) inside diameter.
2. Other Hose* or Pipe*: Attach hose and fittings as required (sold separately) directly into the discharge.
   Extend the hose making sure there are no kinks or tight bends.
   NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 1/2 in. (12.7mm) inside diameter.

Assembly DXWP61379 and DXWP61779

1. Industrial Hose: Thread the male camlock adapter (included) into the pump discharge. Connect the female camlock fitting (with hose, included) to the male adapter and secure. Extend the hose, making sure there are no kinks or tight bends in the hose.
2. Garden Hose: Thread the 3/4 in. (19.05mm) garden hose adapter into the pump discharge. Attach a garden hose (sold separately) to the garden hose adapter.
   Extend the hose, making sure there are no kinks or tight bends. NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 1/2 in. (12.7mm) inside diameter.
3. Other Hose* or Pipe*: Attach hose and fittings as required (sold separately) directly into the discharge.
   Extend the hose making sure there are no kinks or tight bends. NOTE: To keep friction loss as low as possible, do not use a hose that is smaller than 1/2 in. (12.7mm) inside diameter.

Installation

1. Install the pump on a hard level surface in the water. If necessary, place bricks or patio blocks under the pump to raise it off the bottom. Do not place the pump directly in mud, sand or silt.

Operation

1. Connect the power cord to a 115 volt AC grounded GFCI receptacle.
2. The pump requires approximately 2 in. (50.8 mm) of water to prime. Once primed the pump will drain down to approximately 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) of the surface.
3. The pump will continuously operate until disconnected from power. Do not let the pump run dry. The pump relies on water for lubrication and cooling. Operating the pump without water may cause the motor to overheat or cause damage to internal components. It may also shorten the life of the pump.
4. The pump motor is thermally protected. It is not recommended for pumping liquids over 120°F (48.9°C).
   The thermal overload protector will automatically shut down the pump in an overheat/overload situation.
   The motor will reset itself once it cools. This device is designed as a safety device and should not be relied upon to operate the pump. The thermal overload will fail after repeated use.

Maintenance

WARNING: Risk of electric shock. Always disconnect the power supply before attempting to install, service or perform maintenance on the pump.
WARNING: All repairs must be made by a qualified technician.
CAUTION: This submersible pump contains oil which may become pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions –allow the pump to cool for 2-3 hours before servicing.

1. The pump motor is hermetically sealed in the housing and does not require any service. Disassembly of the motor housing or modification of the power cord voids the warranty.
2. Periodically check the intake for obstructions. Clean if necessary.
3. Inspect the power cord for signs of damage or wear. Do not operate the pump if the cord is damaged or worn.
4. Clean off any accumulated sediment or debris to keep pump in optimal operating condition.

Troubleshooting

Performance

Height and/or piping restriction will reduce the pump output performance. It is recommended to use the same size or larger pipe as the pump discharge for optimum performance.
