Handle carefully. Check the packing list

to account for all items. Visually inspect

for shipping damage. If damaged,

immediately file a claim with the

carrier.

General Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Before turning on the pump, be sure

to secure the discharge line. If it is not

secured, the discharge line could flail

erratically, potentially causing injury to

you or others and/or property damage.

Before attempting service, unplug

the power and release all pressure by

draining all water within the system.

Inspect and do routine maintenance on

the pump and system on a regular basis.

Keep debris and foreign objects away

from the unit.

To reduce the risk

of electric shock,

unplug the unit before servicing. This

pump has not been approved for use

in swimming pool areas. The pump is

equipped with a grounding conductor

and grounding-type attachment plug.

Make sure it is connected only to a

properly grounded grounding-type

receptacle. If a 2-prong wall receptacle

is present, it must be replaced with a

properly grounded 3-prong receptacle

installed in accordance with all codes

and ordinances that apply.

NOTE: This equipment is for use on 115

volt (single phase) only and is supplied

with an approved 3-prong plug and

grounding cord.

•

Follow all required electrical and safety

codes when wiring an electrically

driven pump.

•

Ensure the power source is compatible

with the requirements of your

equipment.

Portable

Submersible Utility Pumps

3YU54B, 3YU55B and 3YU56B

Description

This submersible utility pump operates manually and is intended for numerous

applications, including draining of flooded basements, dewatering construction

sites, and excavations. The unit operates efficiently on a 115V, 60 Hz., single phase,

permanent split capacitor motor that includes a 10 feet long, 18 gauge, 3-prong

power cord. The motor is maintenance-free. Neither the motor nor ball bearings

require further lubrication. Additionally, the motor is protected from overheating

and damage. It automatically shuts off with sudden rises in temperature and

restarts after cooling down.

The pump is made from high-quality, durable materials, including: aluminum alloy

for the motor casing and thermal plastic for the pump housing; stainless steel

hardware and shaft; ceramic for shaft sleeve; Buna-N for lip seal; and a non-clog

plastic composite impeller.

General Safety Information

(Continued)

• A qualified electrician should do all

wiring.

• Avoid kinking the power cord. If any

cords are worn, repair or replace

them immediately.

• Protect the power cord from sharp

objects, chemicals, hot surfaces,

and oil.

Risk of electric shock,

personal injury, or

death. If your basement has water or

moisture on the floor, do not walk on

any wet area until all power has been

turned OFF. If the main power box is in

the basement, call the electric company

or hydroelectric authority to shut-off

service to house, or call your local

fire department for assistance or

instructions. Remove the pump and

repair or replace. If you fail to follow

this warning, a fatal electrical shock can

result. Oil on the pump or in the sump

may indicate motor leakage and present

an electrical shock hazard. Turn OFF the

power and check the pump for any oil

leakage from the impeller area. If it is

leaking, replace the pump.

NOTE: Use in applications involving salt

water or brine will void the warranty. This

unit is not designed for that application.

NOTE: The pump is not to be used in a

fishpond.

PERSONAL SAFETY CONCERNS

• Always wear safety glasses when

working on pumps.

• Make work area and shop child safe –

utilize master switches and locks, and

remove all keys.

•

Keep work area well-lighted.

• Keep others at a safe distance away

while working.

• Keep work area clean and tidy, and put

all unused tools and equipment away.

• Never touch or handle the pump, while

plugged in, with wet hands or when

standing in water or on a damp surface.

Installation

1. Install the pump on a firm, level base.

Ensure the pump will not draw in

rocks, debris, mud, etc. If possible,

place a cement block under the

pump to raise it somewhat.

2. Make sure the power cord is protected

from damage. Uncovered cords should

be checked for wear or any damage

before each use. NEVER start a pump

with a damaged cord.

3. Select the appropriate adapter and

attach it to the pump.

Operation

Risk of electric shock,

personal injury, or

death. Never touch or handle a pump

or pump motor with wet hands or when

standing on a wet or damp surface,

or in water.

• Inspect hoses thoroughly before each

use, making certain that all connec-

tions are secure and the hoses are

in good condition.

• The seal for the shaft depends on

water for lubrication. Never use the

pump unless it is submerged in water,

as the seal may be damaged if

allowed to run dry.

• The pump will not remove all water

entirely. If suddenly no water comes

out of the discharge hose, the

manually operated pump must be

shut OFF immediately. The water

level is probably too low for the

pump to be effective.

• Always keep the pump inlet clean. If

the ground or area where the pump

is placed is dirty, raise the pump to

r

educe the amount of debris being

pulled into the pump inlet.

• The pump can operate when water

doesn’t completely cover the motor

housing, but the inlet must be totally

submerged or it will break suction.

This causes the water not to move,

and may damage the shaft seal.

• This pump is intended to pump cold

water only. Pumping heated liquids

could potentially overheat the motor

and cause the thermal overload to

trip, shutting off the unit.

AUTOMATIC THERMAL PROTECTION

• The motor is supplied with an auto-

matic reset thermal protector. If the

temperature in the motor should rise

too quickly, the switch will automati-

cally shut off all power before the

motor can be damaged. When the

motor has cooled sufficiently, the

switch will automatically reset the

unit and restart the motor.

NOTE: During use, water must flow

through the pump to prevent the motor

from overheating. The motor is cooled

by the water as it flows through the

housing.

NOTE: If the protector trips repeatedly,

the pump should be inspected to

determine the issue. A clogged impeller,

low voltage, very low head or lift, or

long extension cords, etc., could cause

the unit to cycle power.

NOTE: No repair parts are available

for this pump. There are no serviceable

parts inside the motor casing. If you

open the

case, the pump will be ruined.

If obstruc

tions or blockages of the

impeller cannot be cleaned out from

the outside (e.g., by flushing out with

a garden hose), replace the pump.

2. If the voltage is less than the minimum

required, inspect the wiring size at

the main switch on the property. If

the size is OK, contact the local electric

company or hydroelectric authority

3. Replace the pump

1. If the voltage is less than the minimum

required, inspect the wiring size at

4. Drill a 1/16” – 1/8” diameter hole

between the pump discharge and

check valve

Protect the pump from the heat of the

sun. Pump cooler water. Pump is dry;

add water. Unclog impeller, increase

voltage, shorten extension cord, or

increase head and lift
