California to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Unpacking

Inspect this unit before it is used. Occasionally,

products are damaged during shipment. If the pump

or components are damaged call our customer service

department at 1-877-9RIDGID.

Work Area

• Do NOT operate pump in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases, or dust. Pump motors create sparks which

WILL ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away

while operating pump. Distractions WILL result in

mistakes.

Electrical Safety

• Do NOT submerge motor or allow motor

to be exposed to water. Personal injury and/or

death WILL result.

• This pump must be plugged into a properly

installed and a grounded GCFI outlet in

accordance with all applicable codes and

ordinances. NEVER remove the grounding prong

or modify the plug in any way. Do NOT use any

adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician

if you are NOT sure the outlet is grounded. If the

pump should electrically malfunction or break down,

grounding provides a low resistance path to carry

electricity away from the user.

• Electrical wiring must be performed by a

qualified electrician. Improper wiring COULD

result in fatal electrical shock.

• Do NOT abuse cord. NEVER use the cord to

carry the pump or pull the plug from an outlet.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,

or moving parts. Replace damaged cords

immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of

electrical shock.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating

correctly. A GFCI reduces the risk of electrical

shock.

• Do NOT use an extension cord. This increases

the risk of electrical shock. If necessary, install a

properly grounded outlet closer to the pump.

components, checking for weak and/or worn

hoses. Insure all connections are secure.

• Provide a means of pressure relief in the case

of an obstructed discharge line.

• When servicing a pump, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in the

Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance

instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or

injury and may void the warranty.

Specific Safety Information

Risk of electric shock. This pump is

supplied with a grounding-type plug. To

reduce risk of electric shock be certain that it is

connected only to a properly grounded, grounding-

type GFCI receptacle.

For your own safety, before assembling and operating

this unit, read this operators manual carefully and

completely. Learn the operation, application, and

potential hazards peculiar to this unit.

call an electrician. Failure to follow this warning

COULD result in fatal electrical shock.

• ALWAYS disconnect the power source before

attempting to operate, service, relocate, or

maintain the pump. NEVER handle a pump or

pump motor with wet hands or when standing

on a wet or damp surface or in water when the

pump is connected to power. Failure to follow

this warning COULD result in personal injury and/

or death.

• Do NOT allow this utility pump to operate

unattended. Failure to follow this warning COULD

result in personal injury and/or death.

Description and Specifications

Description

This self-priming portable utility pump is designed to

be used as a transfer pump for such applications as

emptying water heaters, swimming pools, livestock

tanks, boats, etc. Pump can also be used for an

intermittent pressure boost for applications such as

washing cars, cleaning driveways, etc. The motor is

air cooled; it is NOT designed to operate under water.

NOTE: This pump is NOT intended for permanent

installation or long, extended periods of continuous

operation.

• This pump is NOT designed to handle salt water,

brine, laundry discharge, or any other application

which may contain caustic chemicals and/or

foreign materials. This pump is NOT suitable for

use with aquatic life. Pump damage or failure

COULD occur if used in these applications and will

void the warranty.

Pump Application

• Pump should only be used to pump clear

water. Do NOT use to pump fluids such as

gasoline, fuel oil, or kerosene. Do NOT use in a

flammable or explosive atmosphere. Improper

use WILL result in personal injury and/or death.

To prevent property

damage, serious injury, or death, proper application

of the pump is required. The following procedures

SHOULD be followed:

• This pump operates on 115 V, 60 Hz AC, single

phase or 115 V DC.

• ALWAYS disconnect the power source before

attempting to operate, service, relocate, or

maintain the pump. NEVER handle a pump or

pump motor with wet hands or when standing

on a wet or damp surface or in water when

pump is connected to power source.

• Secure the discharge line before starting the

pump. An unsecured discharge line may whip.

Personal injury and/or property damage could

result.

1. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required.

2. Figure 2 shows a typical application. Threaded

adapters are furnished for attaching garden hose

where conditions permit its use. In no case should

the pump be more than 15 feet above or away from

inlet source. Install a foot valve when suction lift is

over 10 feet or when suction line is over 10 feet long.

3. The inlet line may be galvanized pipe, plastic pipe,

or reinforced hose. Small leaks in suction line

greatly reduce efficiency of pump and may prevent

priming.

Ordinary garden hose

will collapse under suction pressure and should not be

used in the inlet but for pressure boosting only.

4. Use a strainer when pumping from a creek, pond,

or source where foreign objects may be sucked

into the pump. The strainer should prevent solids

from entering the inlet line.

5. A regular garden hose may be used as a discharge

line.

6. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the

plug is missing the grounding prong or the cord is

damaged, do NOT use the pump until the cord has

been replaced.

• Risk of fatal electrical shock. NEVER cut off the

round grounding prong. Cutting the cord or plug will

void the warranty and make the pump inoperable.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating correctly.

7. When appropriate accessories are used correctly,

water can be pumped down to within 1/8 inch of

the surface.

8. As soon as the pump begins to take in air or

loses prime, unplug the pump. Failure to unplug

the pump at this point could damage the pump by

causing the pump to dry run.

Do NOT allow pump

to run dry. The shaft seal depends on water for

lubrication. Operating the pump without water will

damage the shaft seal and cause pump failure.

Risk of fatal electrical

shock. When routing electrical cord protect cord from

sharp objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chemicals. Do

NOT kink cord; replace any damaged cord immediately.

Operation

Pump must be filled

with water before operation. Running the pump dry

will cause damage to the shaft seal.

1. This unit is not waterproof or weatherproof and

is not intended to be used in showers, saunas,

or other potentially wet locations. The motor is

designed to be used in a clean, dry location

with access to adequate cooling air. Ambient

temperatures around the motor should NOT

exceed 104˚F (40˚C).

2. Remove priming plug and fill with water. Replace

plug.

3. Plug power cord into GFCI protected electrical

outlet. The pump will prime in a few minutes

depending on suction line length. Use of foot

valve on suction line is recommended.

4. In the case of pressure boosting, turn water

on before starting pump. This force primes the

pump. Then, plug power cord into GFCI protected

electrical outlet.

5. Unplug cord to turn unit off.

Maintenance Instructions

Always disconnect

the electrical supply or unplug the pump before

attempting to operate, service, relocate, or perform

any maintenance. If the power source is out of

sight, lock and tag in the open (OFF) position to

prevent unexpected power application. Failure

to do so COULD result in fatal electrical shock.

Only a qualified technician should repair this unit.

Improper repair COULD result in fatal electrical shock.

1. Check the operation of the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) each time the pump is used.

2. Keep pump inlet clean and free of all foreign

objects. Inspect inlet at beginning of each use.

3. Alteration of the power cord could result in fatal

electrical shock.

Part Replacement Schedule

Failure to follow

replacement schedule will void warranty.

Refer to page 6 - Parts Breakdown.

• Replace Brush Kit every 100 hours of use.

• Replace Impeller and Seal Kit every three years.

Pumps with excess of 100 hours of operation may

stop operating or fail to start. This could be due to

worn brushes or carbon build-up on commutator. The

brushes should be removed and carbon removed from

commutator. Worn brushes are not covered under

warranty.

BRUSH REPLACEMENT

1. Disconnect electrical cord from power supply.

2. Remove brush caps with screwdriver.

3. Remove old brush assembly.

4. Insert new brush assembly.

5. Replace brush caps making sure the brushes

seat evenly.

For other problems, consult troubleshooting chart.

ADDITIONAL REPAIRS

To replace bearings, shaft seal, gaskets, follow the

instructions listed below.

1. Disconnect electrical cord from power supply.

2. Relieve pressure in system.

3. Disconnect inlet and outlet lines.

4. Empty water from pump housing.

5. Place pump on bench with motor end up

and remove brushes as described in Brush

Replacement instructions. If brushes are to be

reused, mark the location from which each came.

Replace brushes in original orientation upon

completion of repair.

6. Remove the four cap screws holding motor

housing and pump housing together. Motor

housing is now free and can be removed. Take

care not to lose commutator bearing finger spring.

7. With a screwdriver, pry the rotor-backhead (see

page 6) assembly out of the pump housing.

Remove straight out.

8. Remove the impeller by turning counter clockwise

(right-hand thread on shaft).

9. Remove backhead (the bearing is press fit into

the backhead).

10. Place backhead on flat surface with impeller side

down and press out shaft seal.

11. Place impeller on flat surface with vane side

down and with screwdriver and hammer break

ceramic seal ring into several pieces and remove.

Next, remove rubber seal ring cup from impeller.

12. Remove bearings from armature shaft (press-fit

on shaft).

13. Inspect the armature commutator bars. The

environment in which the unit has been operating

will have influence on the condition of the

commutator. Airborne dust an dirt will accelerate

wear. A rough or scarred appearance may

dictate having commutator reconditioned before

reassembly. Use a stiff nylon brush to clean

carbon from between commutator bars.

14. To reassemble, install new bearings on the shaft.

Always press against the inner race to prevent

bearing damage. Make sure bearings are tight

against the shaft shoulders.

15. Place rubber water slinger flat inside seal cavity

on front side of backhead

. Press shaft seal into

backhead. When pressing shaft seal into place,

apply force to the cup flange. Avoid touching the

polished seal surface; oil or scratches on this

surface may cause premature failure of the seal.

16. Press ceramic side of seal into impeller, ceramic

side out. Avoid touching ceramic with hands as oil

may cause premature failure of the seal. Wipe oil

off both sides of seal with a soft, lint-free cloth.

17. Reassemble unit in reverse order, beginning

with step 9. Use caution when sliding rotor shaft

through backhead and water slinger not to pinch

or damage water slinger (see page 6).

18. After reassembly check shaft for free rotation with

screwdriver in fan through air exit openings.
