- Pneumatic machine : Check that the compressed-air hose and the hose coupling are not
damaged. Never attempt to loosen a compressed-air hose which is pressurized. First switch off the air at the
compressor and then leave the machine running itself to discharge the hose after some seconds.
- Machine powered by petrol or diesel engine : Petrol has an extremely low flash-point and can be
explosive in certain situations. Keep away from all hot or spark-generating objects, do not smoke, when
handling fuel. Wait until the machine has cooled before filling the tank. Avoid spilling petrol or diesel on the
ground.

PRE-OPERATION NOTES
The warranty will be void if the pump has not been operated and maintained
in the manner prescribed in this Operator's Manual.

Operator's Manual contains important product operation procedures, safety
precautions, maintenance and troubleshooting tips as well as other
advisories. Please keep this manual nearby when operating the pump as a
reference should any questions arise.
This submersible pump is ONLY for use in water. DO NOT use in trashwater.
Any other uses or applications is strictly prohibited. DO NOT start this unit
unless it is submerged in water. DO NOT submerge this pump in any other
liquid but water.
All jobsites are different. Please ensure that when installing this pump in a
jobsite, all local bylaws and codes are followed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. READ AND UNDERSTAND OPERATOR'S MANUAL PRIOR TO USE
OF SUBMERSIBLE PUMP.
2. DO NOT USE ELECTRICAL CABLE TO CARRY, LIFT OR OTHERWISE
MOVE PUMP. This will damage the cable, which can cause electrical
shocks, electrical short circuit, pump failure, personal injury and other
accidents.
Always attach rope, chain or other lines to pump
HANDLE to secure, raise, or move pump.
3. Make certain that the power source conforms to the requirements of your
equipment.
NEVER REPLACE THE PLUG TO AN ALTERNATIVE!
4. DO NOT plug pump into any NON-GROUNDED electrical outlet.
5. DO NOT connect the pump to any power source unless the unit is
operating in water.
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY!
6. DO NOT perform any repairs or maintenance procedures on pump
unless it has been disconnected from power source.
7. Drain all liquids from the pump before servicing any component.
8. DO NOT DROP PUMP. This will damage the internal components of
the pump causing it to malfunction.
8
9. DO NOT continue operating the pump if ANY of the following conditions
are observed:
a. Excessive vibration
b. Unusual odor or noise
Turn pump OFF immediately if any of the above conditions appear and
contact your local dealer.
10. Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, and making
certain that all connections are secure.
11. Periodically inspect pump and system components. Perform routine
maintenance as required. If the pump is located in an area subject to
freezing temperatures, the pump and hoses should be drained when not
in operation. See "Winterizing Your Pump" section for further details.
12. Do not come into contact with the pump once it has been started.
Pump may become hot under normal use. Allow sufficient time for the
pump to cool off before coming into contact with the unit.

SETTING UP THE WP300
1. Wrap threaded sections of included nipple with Teflon tape.
2. Screw prepared nipple onto the WP300 Submersible Pump.
DO NOT overtighten coupling onto the outlet as this may
lead to damaging the pumps structural integrity.
3. Connect 2" discharge hose to pump.
DO NOT use restricting-type valves at the discharge
as this will restrict the capacity of the pump.
DO NOT use hose with signs of damage or wear.
4. Verify that the discharge hose will run as straight as possible.
Any excessive bending in the hose will prevent water flow.
This prevents sufficient lift, and will cause the pump to
run under its optimum capacity.
Any crimps, loops and excessive extended sections on
the hose will also create air pockets in the hose, thereby
forcing the discharged liquid back into the pump.
This will damage the pump and can result in electrical
short, leakage and/or other hazards to the operator
and jobsite.
DO NOT use extension cords with this product.

PRE-OPERATING PROCEDURES
Before attempting to operate the WP300 Submersible Pump, please
perform the following procedures for the personal and property
safety of the operator and jobsite.
1. Ensure that the pump is structurally and mechanically safe by
checking the following:
a. Does the pump start when plugged into socket?
Does the pump function without excessive noise
and/or unusual odour? Test as follows:
a. Set up pump as instructed in "Setting up the WP300"
section.
b. Plug electrical cable into socket.
c. Run pump for no longer than 2-3 seconds to check for
noise and odour.
NEVER RUN THE PUMP DRY!
This pump DOES NOT have an on/off switch!
Clear impeller of any debris and sand before
operating pump.
b. Check the entire length of the electrical cable, impeller,
and connector fittings are not worn, fouled or in any other
conditions that would prevent the pump from safe operation.
DO NOT USE IF ELECTRICAL CABLE IS FRAYED OR
DAMAGED IN ANY MANNER.
If any of the above checks fail, please take necessary steps to
repair the unit before operating it in any environment.
