General Safety Information

Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert

and understanding how your utility pump works.

Safety Signal Words

means if the safety information is not

followed someone will be seriously injured or killed.

means if safety information is not fol-

lowed someone could be seriously injured or killed.

means if safety information is not fol-

lowed someone may be injured.

indicates important information, that if

not followed, may cause damage to the equipment or

flooding .

Read and understand all instruc-

tions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in fatal electric shock, fire,property dam-

age, and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

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

may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away

while installing pump. Distractions can result in

mistakes.

Electrical Safety

• This pump must be plugged into an outlet,

properly installed, and grounded 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 quali-

fied electrician. Improper wiring could result in

fatal electrical shock.

WARNING

DANGER

WARNING

NOTICE

CAUTION

WARNING

DANGER

• 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 mov-

ing parts. Replace damaged cords immediate-

ly. Damaged cords increase the risk of electrical

shock.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating cor-

rectly. 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 prop-

erly grounded outlet closer to the pump.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use

common sense when installing this pump. Do

not attempt to install this pump while tired or

under the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-

ications. A moment of inattention may result in

serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught

in moving parts.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and hard

hat must be used for appropriate conditions.

Service

• Pump service must be performed only by qual-

ified repair personnel. Service or maintenance

performed by unqualified repair personnel could

result in injury and may void the warranty.

WARNING

DANGER

NOTICE

TP-250 Utility Pump

Ridge Tool Company

1. This pump has been designed to attach to a stan-

dard garden hose. Thread the female end of the

garden hose to the discharge on the pump.

2. To reduce leakage between the pump and the

hose, place a hose washer (not included) on the

garden hose before installing to the pump.

3. For best pump performance, unwind the hose

before starting the pump. This will help remove

any kinks or binds in the hose and allow the unit to

pump with less restriction.

4. Place pump on a hard surface in the water. Do not

set the pump directly on mud or sand surfaces.

This will cause the inlet screen to clog.

Do not place pump directly on clay,

gravel, or any loose or sandy surfaces. These surfaces

contain small stones or sand that may clog or damage

the pump. This could result in pump failure causing

flooding and property damage.

5. The water level must be at least 1/2 inch for the

pump to operate. Water levels less than 1/2 inch

will not allow the impeller to contact water and no

water will be pumped.

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

If the plug is missing the grounding prong or the

cord is damaged, do not install the pump until the

cord has been replaced.

• Never cut off grounding prong or use an adapter.

• Before using, test the Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) to insure it is operating correct-

ly.

7. Plug the power cord into a grounded 115-volt AC

power outlet. Make sure the electrical outlet is

grounded and is rated for at least 15 amps. The

pump will start operating as soon as the power

cord is plugged into the power outlet. The indica-

tor on the GFCI should be RED.

WARNING

NOTICE

8. Press the TEST button. The RED indicator should

disappear.

9. Press RESET button. The indicator should be

RED. Do not use the pump if the indicator is not

RED.

10. The pump will remove water down to 1/8 inches of

the surface the pump was placed on.

11. The pump should be unplugged once the water

has reached the 1/8 inch height, or pump will run

dry.

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.

When routing electrical cord protect

cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oils, and chem-

icals. Do not kink cord; replace any damaged cord

immediately.

Maintenance Instructions

Always disconnect the electrical

supply or unplug the pump before attempting to

install, service, relocate, or perform any mainte-

nance. If the power source is out of sight, lock and

tag in the open (OFF) position to prevent unex-

pected 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. The motor housing is completely sealed and

requires no service. Disassembly of the motor

housing or alteration of the power cord could

result in fatal electrical shock.
