This pump is a compact, submersible pump. It is extremely handy around the dock, the house or farm.
And, it’s ideal for removing water from dinghies, inatable, peddle boats and kayaks.
This pump will lift water to a maximum height of 2.7 feet and pump in excess of 138 gallons per hour
with fresh batteries.
The pump is made of high-impact plastic. It is completely portable and ready for use when 3 “D” size
alkaline batteries are installed (batteries not included). It comes complete with a 42” hose and a male
hose tting for attachment to your garden hose.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: To avoid airlock (ow stoppage),
submerge pump in water before turning on. If pump
must be turned on before submerged, it may take 10-30
seconds for the water to begin to ow (allowing pump
to clear airlock).
1.To install batteries, remove top cover of pump by
turning the handle counter-clockwise (See Figure1).
Unplug the wire leads and remove battery retainer
(See Figure 2 detail). Insert three (3) alkaline “D” size
batteries in position as indicated on the battery
retainer. Replace battery retainer, re-attach wire
leads and lock cover in place (wire leads are dierent
sizes to prevent improper wiring). The pump is completely
portable and ready for use when batteries are installed.
2. Place pump into water at the deepest point possible.
Make sure the pump is located in area free of debris to
avoid clogging. With bottom lter plate attached, pump
will sink. If you want the pump to oat, remove bottom plate
by removing the four screws. The pump will then naturally oat
in an upright position.
NOTE: oating the pump is desired when you wish to pump out an
area that has debris at the bottom. See Step 1 under servicing
instructions. Some possible uses are: emptying aquarium
without picking up aquarium gravel; lling livewell with the
same water as being shed; pumping out pools or reservoirs
of greater depth than the pump hose length and pumping
out basement sump reservoir to avoid sludge at the bottom.
IMPORTANT: keep pump tethered to prevent it from oating
out of reach.
3. To start pump, push switch located directly below cover. Hold
pump in position until the water begins owing out of the hose.
Check frequently to be sure water is owing properly and pump
is free from debris.
4. If water is owing slowly, check hose for kinks or debris. Turn
pump o if it is necessary to remove debris. To remove debris, simply remove pump from water and
turn it upside down, looking for obvious obstructions. If further inspection is necessary, consult
servicing instructions.
NOTE: after use, always ush the pump thoroughly with fresh clean water, especially after pumping
sea water or chlorine treated water.

BATTERY & PUMP TIPS
1.Install fresh, name-brand alkaline batteries in this pump. While they may cost a bit more, tests
have shown that they will run this pump continuously for up to 5 hours, while standard “D”
batteries will only last a 1/2 hour or less.
2.Remove batteries from the pump when they are
discharged or if the pump will be stored for an extended
period. Discharged batteries occasionally leak, which will
destroy the electrical circuit of the pump.
3. Dispose of used batteries in a safe place. Follow battery
manufacture’s recommendations. Do not burn them because
they can explode. Do not throw in lakes, streams or rivers.
4. Keep the inside of the pump dry at all times. If it does
get wet inside, dry it immediately. A hair dryer held 12”
(30.48cm) away works well. Make certain the cover is tight
before immersing the pump. Keep the o-ring lubricated with
petroleum jelly.
SERVICING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
OUT DEBRIS AND HOSE PLACEMENT
1.Turn the pump upside down and remove the lter screen by removing the four screws with a
Phillips screwdriver. Remove all debris.
2.Remove the impeller chamber cap by removing all four screws. Remove all possible debris (See Fig 3).
NOTE: the correct rotation of the impeller is counterclockwise, when viewing from the bottom of the
pump. If the impeller rotates clockwise, or not at all, check the batteries for correct insertion.
3. When replacing the hose, remove impeller chamber cap (See Step 2 above). Remove existing hose
and thread replacement hose clockwise through the hose opening in pump housing.
4.Place the end of the hose to the end of the ribbed section of the impeller chamber (See Figure 2).
Make sure there are no kinks in the hose.
5.To keep the hose in place, brace the hose with your thumb just outside the impeller chamber. Replace
the impeller chamber cover and secure it by bracing your thumb on top of it. Replace and install
screws. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
6.Replace the lter screen by lining up the screw holes with the screw posts and the notch in the screen
with the V-shaped protrusion in the pump housing. Replace and install screws.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
This pump is intended for pumping water only. Do not use to pump gasoline,
diesel fuels or chemicals of any kind. Fluids other than water may destroy
this pump and /or create a re hazard. This portable pump is not intended for permanent installation in a
bilge or sump area. It should not be used in situations where risk of personal injury or property
damage could result from pump or battery failure. Do not
use any power source other than three “D” size alkaline
batteries to power the pump. Do not attempt to recharge
batteries while installed in this product.
NOTE: To conserve batteries, you may use a siphon
action (see Figure 4). The discharge end of the hose
must be below the water level. To completely drain water,
it must be below the lowest water level. With the pump and
hose as shown, turn the pump on until water ows, then turn
the pump o. Water will continue to ow, but at a slower
rate. This method can also increase the pumping rate with
the pump turned on.
